It also has a Wah/Volume pedal.Some Pro Tools users were having trouble with Midi Out from Drumagog. It has 4 foot switches, which are nice and quiet for home use, and easy on your feet. It works beautifully with Ableton Live 10, or any other DAW for that matter. Most people think this is only a dedicated foot control for the Line 6 Spyder amps, but its also a fully configurable MIDI controller. But I ended up finding a diamond in the rough! Thanks to another tip I read I bought a Line 6 FBV Express Mk II (It must be the Mk2, the Mk1 doesnt have USB). Looking at the price of MIDI foot controllers I was shocked about how expensive they are. I ended up scrapping my foot pedal attached to Push 2, because it uses the hard to push switches and was a pain with bare feet at home. I use it loads to troubleshoot pesky MIDI issues. There is an option in MidiPipe to hide it after launch in Preferences.Īnother great program to see whats going on in your system when it comes to MIDI messages, is MIDI Monitor. The MidiPipe program also needs to stay open in the background to intercept the MIDI signals sent from Push 2 Live Mode and duplicated onto VirtualPush. But bear in mind you are duplicating the MIDI signal, so the normal sustain pedal function might interfere with other things. I have done some brief testing and it seems to work correctly in Looper now. Now on the top right of the Ableton window click MIDI and now you can map the VirtualPush to the Looper record button. Now open an audio track and load up Looper as an effect.
The reason for this is that if you use footswitch 2 you get conflicts between the hard encoded Push 2 Live mode record function in session mode and your user defined MIDI (the next part.) Now instead of using the momentary switch in the second port, I move it to the first port (sustain port). In the list find "Input VirtualPush" and enable Track and Remote to On. Load up Ableton and Choose Live menu, Preferences, Link MIDI. This trick allows Ableton to now recognize MIDI signals from Push 2 whilst in Live mode. What you have done is created a virtual MIDI device called VirtualPush and mapped any input from the real Push 2 in Live mode, and sent it to the VirtualPush. Dont tick or untick any options.Ī video showing the above steps for MidiPipe Select VirtualPush from the Midi Output menu.
Double click MidiPipe Output 1 and rename to VirtualPush. Click on Midi Out on the right window and select the MIDI Output "Edit Virtual Outputs"ħ. Click and drag "Midi Out" from the left window to rightĦ. Rename the unnamed pipe on the right window to something more useful like "Push 2 Live to VirtualPush"ĥ. Midi In should appear on the right window now.Ĥ. Click and drag "Midi In" over to the right window called Pipes. Click on "Midi In" in the left window and choose your MIDI input from the below window as "Ableton Push 2 - Live Port". Let me know if you have one.ĭownload MidiPipe 1.4.6 from sublesoft - Ģ. I am sure there are patches to do this in M4L, but I havent come across one yet. My method uses a fairly easy to use program called MidiPipe.

This is for Mac only, but I guess Windows has equivalent software. So I figured out a hack which seems to work. So I didnt want to go and buy another Midi footswitch purely for use on the looper. Quickly double-tapping the footswitch is the same as pressing the New button. A single tap of the footswitch will toggle the Record button, thus switching between recording/overdubbing and playback of the current clip. Footswitch 2 gives you hands-free control of Push 2’s recording functionality.
Two ports on the back of Push 2 allow you to connect momentary footswitches. The footswitch button records in session view, and is not used for Looper Sadly it didnt quite work the way I wanted. So I added a cheapo momentary footswitch to the second port (furthest from the Power button). I recently got a Push 2 and was excited to find out that it has two footswitch connectors on the back.
