707 Using Push 2
29.17 Push 2 Control Reference
The function of each button and control is explained below.
Tap Tempo — As you press once every beat, the tempo of the Live Set will follow your tapping.
If the “Start Playback with Tap Tempo” button is enabled in Live’s Record/Warp/Launch Prefer-
ences, you can also use tapping to count in: If you are working in a 4:4 signature, it takes four
taps to start song playback at the tapped tempo. The encoder above the button adjusts Live’s
tempo in increments of one BPM. Holding Shift while adjusting will set the tempo in increments of
.1 BPM.
Metronome — Toggles Live’s metronome on or off. The right encoder sets the amount of swing
applied when Quantizing, Record Quantizing or when Repeat is pressed.
Delete — In Note Mode, this button deletes the selected clip. When working with a Drum Rack,
hold Delete and press a pad to delete that pad’s notes in the clip (or the pad itself if there are
no recorded notes). In Session Mode, hold Delete and then press a clip to delete that clip. Hold
Delete and select a device or track with the upper and lower display buttons to delete the device
or track. Hold Delete and touch an encoder to delete automation controlled by that encoder. If
automation has not been recorded for a particular parameter, holding Delete and touching the
corresponding encoder will reset that parameter to its default value. In Simpler’s Slicing Mode,
hold Delete and tap a pad to delete that slice. If the Arrangement View is in focus in Live, presing
Delete will delete the currently selected clip in the Arrangement.
Undo — Undoes the last action. Press and hold Shift while pressing Undo to Redo. Note that
Push 2’s Undo button applies Live’s Undo functionality, so it will undo actions in your Live Set
even if they were done without using Push 2.
Mute — Mutes the currently selected track. Hold Mute while pressing another track’s lower
display button to mute that track. Hold Mute while pressing a Drum Rack pad to mute the pad.
Hold Mute while pressing a step sequencer step to deactivate the step. Hold Mute while press-
ing a device’s upper display button to deactivate the device. Holding the Mute button for a few
moments will lock it on. You can then release Mute and toggle devices or tracks on and off just
by pressing the corresponding upper or lower display buttons. Press Mute again to unlock it.
Solo — Solos the currently selected track. Hold Solo while pressing another track’s lower display
button to solo that track. Hold Solo while pressing a Drum Rack pad to solo the pad. Holding the
Solo button for a few moments will lock it on. You can then release Solo and toggle a track’s solo
on and off just by pressing the corresponding lower display button. Press Solo again to unlock it.
