Push it real good
In a previous issue in DJ Mag Tech we saw how Ableton’s flagship production software, Live, has evolved into an improved powerhouse, with the new Version 9 release. However, not content with bolstering their software to be all-powerful, the guys at Ableton have added an extra dimension to the whole package.

And all new Push Controller
Not one but two reasons for Ableton users to be cheerful have been announced from the company’s German headquarters in the form of Live 9 along with a rather intriguing controller called Push. Not content with just improving their hugely popular Live software, for their latest incarnation, Ableton have also found the time to get teamed up with Akai to create a new Push controller specifically to control Ableton. It looks like they might have created the perfect Ableton controller in the process.
