Push Hacker 2
Customize your Ableton Push Controller
Fastlane & Soundmanufacture teamed up to design a Max for Live Device (M4L) which enables you to have a faster access to individual features & customize Push 1 or 2 inside Ableton Live for your needs.
min. System Requirements: Ableton Live 10.1 / Max for Live 8.1.2 (also Live 11 of course)
Push Hacker 2
Push Hacker 2 is built from ground up and brings a better performance and new & sofisticated features.
With Push Hacker 2 you are able to expand the features of Push 1 or Push 2 to your personal needs.
It enables you to manually re-assign any of Push’s features (buttons/rotaries/pitch bend/matrix pads) to any parameters in Live (audio effects/MIDI effects/Clips/ Clips slots/Mixer/Solo buttons etc.…)
whilst in ‘Note Mode’ or ‘Session Mode’
Push Hacker has been designed to address one of the most fundamental principle of live performance ‘You should avoid having to switch modes on your controller’s whilst playing live to get the
spontaneous feel you’d get from an acoustic instrument’
Features
- map buttons & dials to any parameters
- move the clip grid
- select individual tracks
- Solo Tracks
- recording & playing clips
- draw curves for dlider parameters
assign a Function
with Push Hacker 2 you can choose between different Functions to assign them to any Pad, Dial or even the Touchstrip.
map Parameters
you can map up to eight individual Parameters to any Pad and set the Color for it.
It's possible to set the range and invert the behaviour.
draw Curves
you can draw Curves and map up to four individual Parameters inside Ableton Live.
The Curves are accessable for the Push Dials as well as for the Pads.
Skrätch Device
The Skrätch Device comes free with Push Hacker and it enables you to get Scratch Effects with your Touchstrip of Ableton Push.
It's easy to set up. Just insert the Skrätch Device inside the MAster Track and inside Push Hacker you have to assign the Skrätch Device on the Touchstrip.

The first thing I noticed is that Push Hacker 2 seems more intuitive to use than the first version and it offers you even more ways to hack your Push 1 or 2.

"First up, for Push 2 and Push 1 owners, there’s the incredible Push Hacker 2. It’s really the advanced Push editor Ableton forgot.
Built by M4L device maker Soundmanufacturer in collaboration with French audio tutorial platform Fastlane, Push Hacker 2 is a wonder."

"The user interface of Push Hacker 2 is very nice, too. You can see exactly which functions are assigned to each button or knob. The assignments work via dragging and dropping parameters to the on-screen Push controller."

Ein übersichtlicher Workflow ist die Basis für eine gelungene Live Perfor- mance. Dabei ist das Umschalten zwischen Menüs oder Modi und auch das Scrollen durch Parameter-Reihen hinderlich. Hierbei unterstützt Sie das Max for Live Device Push Hacker von Soundmanufacture & Fastlane ganz hervorragend ...
