Ableton/Live/UG/36 Push 2/10 Working With Instruments and Effects
- Device mode puts the encoders on the parameters of Live devices and plug-ins.
- Upper display buttons select devices on the track. Press the selected device's button again for Edit mode, where lower buttons pick parameter pages; the leftmost upper button goes back.
- Devices with more than eight pages, such as Operator, show an arrow on the rightmost lower button to scroll on; the leftmost goes back.
- Add Device opens the browser with every device type the track can take. Loading an instrument this way replaces the current one, as in Browse.
- New devices go after the selected one; MIDI effects always go before the instrument and audio effects after.
- Hold Delete and press a device's upper button to delete it. Hold Mute and press it to switch the device off or back on (shown grey). Holding Mute for a moment locks it on until pressed again.
- Hold an effect's upper button and turn any encoder to move it in the chain.
- Racks have their own icons on the display.
- Press a selected Rack's upper button to unfold or fold it; an underline marks what it contains. Drum Racks fold only from within Live.
- With the Rack selected the encoders control its Macros; select a device inside to control that device instead.
- Hold the Rack's upper button to show its chains along the bottom, selectable with the lower buttons.
