And if you don’t have Push, we’ve also got some useful tools that can inspire anyone with the Live software, whether or not you have Push. So, if you’re interested in diving in, here are some resources to get you going. It’s that they really make it clear what Push is as a hardware extension of Ableton Live.Īnd, interestingly, user extensions and documentation are already going further than the product alone: with the help of fellow users, you can make this your own. It’s not that I couldn’t live without those features. But the addition of these two features makes Push really feel like a complete vision, like a fully-fleshed-out musical tool. Now, that doesn’t mean I step sequence everything – far from it I’m a keyboardist. With melodic step sequencing and automation sequencing, I’ve become a Push addict. Before melodic step sequencing, I messed around with Push, but it wasn’t essential. Sounds like something basic, but I would go further. But the feature I’ve found made me want to use 9.1 is its new step sequencing features in Push. Now, that said, none of this would be terribly newsworthy. But everyone will benefit from enhanced audio rendering and stability improvements – the latter essential if you’re upgrading to OS X Mavericks. (Sadly, I don’t have either at the moment, so haven’t been able to test that). If you have two monitors, of course, you get dual monitor support – or dual window support on bigger displays. I’ve been splitting time between 9 stable and 9.1 beta, and the beta has been operating perfectly for me.

But if you’re a Live 9 user, you shouldn’t hesitate to grab this. We’ve covered in some detail what 9.1 includes. Live 9.1, in beta for some weeks, is now available to everyone.
