Push Minimum System Requirements

To use Push 1, Push 2, or Push 3, connect your Push to a computer running Ableton Live. Push 3 (standalone) can run in Standalone Mode without being connected to a computer, or it can be used in Control Mode to control Live, while connected to a computer.

To use any version of Push, make sure your computer meets the Live minimum system requirements. Each Push requires a minimum version of Live: 
• Push 3 requires Live 11.3 or later
• Push 2 requires Live 9.5 or later
• Push 1 requires Live 9.0 or later

It is always recommended to keep Live on your computer up to date. You can download the latest version of Live from your User Account. Learn more about updating Live.

In addition to the minimum Live version and system requirements listed above, the following specifications are required to use Push:

Push 3:

Windows

• A graphics card that supports Open GL 3.0 or higher
• A USB 2.0 port (or higher)
• Access to an internet connection for authorizing and updating Push software

Push 1 & Push 2:

Note: Using Push 2 or Push 3 simultaneously with another Push (of any generation) to control the same instance of Live is currently not supported. To learn how to set up two Push 1 units, refer to the guide on using two Push 1 units simultaneously.
