PUSH 2 FEELS LIKE AN INSTRUMENT NOT A CONTROLLER Push features heavily throughout my creative process and the music I produce (and I’ve been producing more lately thanks to COVID-19) so given the amount of use I get from it, I felt the urge to give y’all a breakdown on why I reckon Push 2 is still number 1. But as the expression goes ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ and that’s certainly the case with Push 2, in fact, it’s been enhanced further since the release of Live 10, which saw the introduction of new creative features and deeper integration. I'll probably get it today.Ableton’s Push 2 MIDI controller hit stores back in 2015, now, 5 years on Push 2 is still Ableton’s flagship controller which seems like a long time when you consider the frequency of manufacturers releasing new products. Seeds has a clock generator that you can route to different sequencer types and arpeggiators, modulators, etc. I think this is what I'm looking for! Some of it is kind of similar to some of the Heaps stuff (which also looks cool). I ended up just browsing M4L pages and ended up finding Seeds. I'm looking more for something that lets me do things more on the fly like on a hardware sequencer vs clicking and dragging. It works, it's just not fun to work with. & probably add some K- Teck devices soon to my experiments. I am also interested in this area myself, & recently exploring M4L Heaps of Bleeps Clock Pack of Dividers & Multipliers , Or which could be a timing trigger template to then drive arps or sequencers to vary the notes on the fly. Using this in conjunction with Time signature of a clip you should be able to create any x against y polyrhythm per se in a clip, But I Googled 'Xronomorph Push' and ended up getting a result for Modular Sequencer which apparently can handle polyrhythms so I'll probably look into that too.įirstly, do you know the Stretch Notes feature in MidiClips lets you manually manipulate any number of pulses to a bar ? I Googled Xronomorph and it looks cool but I'm hoping to get a workflow with my Push 2 rather than screens. I thought Polyrhythmus was defunct for some reason.I'll definitely download that and check out the others. They have some real drums under the command of Xronomorph. Watch all the videos on their youtube channel. I recentrly built a USB to 16 analog drum trigger & clocking device and use Xronomorph to drive my eurorack clocks and drums from computer.ĭownload from here for WIN 32bit 64bit and Macosx : There is also a standalone software Xronomorph which I like and use alot. It can do polyrhythm and polymeter at the same time. Watch at 7:00Īnd if you like it download for free from here:Īnother is EuclideanSequencerPro. This works for drums but also for melodic instruments. If you have Ableton Live and Max for Live there is POLYRHYTHMUS.
