Mod devices for Push
Ableton Live’s built-in LFO, Shaper, Envelope Follower, Shaper MIDI, and Envelope MIDI are powerful modulation MaxforLive devices, that allow you to modulate up to eight selectable parameters in diverse ways.
However, their default versions do not support mapping from Ableton Push, making it difficult to set up and use these devices directly from Push without initial configuration on your computer.
To address this limitation, I’ve developed modified versions of these devices with improved Push 3 standalone integration.
With this pack you can map any device parameter to be modulated by the devices directly from Push 3 standalone.
includes:
- LFO
- Envelope Follower
- Shaper
- Envelope MIDI
- Shaper MIDI

MaxForLive devices by Elisabeth Homeland
Compatibility:
Ableton | Live 12 |
---|---|
System | Mac, Windows, |
Map directly from Push:
-
Turn the MAP dial to set the modulation destination into mapping mode, then move any parameter in any devices to make it mapped.
-
If you want to un-map the parameter, just turn the UNMAP button.
-
Change essential modulation parameters like Min, Max, and modulation mode directly from Push, without needing to revert to your computer.
Visual Representation:
-
The Push banks will automatically get renamed to the mapped parameter's name.
-
The modulation’s effect is visually represented by a moving dial, allowing you to observe changes such as the LFO’s shape and speed.
The new modulation mode "REMOTE" in Live 12 is not visually indicated on Push. While this may be addressed in future Ableton updates, you can switch back to the older "MOD" mode directly from the device if you prefer to see what's happening.
The visual feedback on the device only starts working once you moved the rate or sync Rate dials. (To avoid problems with undo history.)
These enhancements are designed to provide a seamless experience for Push users, allowing you to fully utilize the modulation capabilities of Ableton Live’s LFO, Shaper, and Envelope Follower without needing a computer for initial setup. Enjoy a more intuitive and integrated workflow directly from your Push controller.
Installation for Push3 Standalone:
You need to put the device in your Push’s User Library from Live to a place where you’ll find it later.
For Live in general:
You can put the devices into your Ableton Live user library, basically anywhere.
Default location of the User Library:
When you install Live for the first time, the User Library is created at this location:
WINDOWS: \USERS\[USERNAME]\DOCUMENTS\ABLETON\USER LIBRARY MAC: MACINTOSH HD/USERS/[USERNAME]/MUSIC/ABLETON/USER LIBRARY
Please note that Live has to analyse your user library after you put your devices in there... It could take a while. For the time being, you can just drag and drop these devices on your track from your user library. until Live analyses your folders.
