Packs on Push (standalone)
You can download and install your licensed Ableton Factory Packs on Push (standalone). A list of Packs bundled with Push, which can be installed after authorizing, is included below. When transferring Live Projects between Push and your computer, make sure all relevant Packs are installed on both devices. Learn more about Push (standalone) Max for Live Device Compatibility.
To access Packs, first connect Push to your network and authorize your Ableton license following these guides:
Installing Packs
To quickly access your Packs, press the Add Button and then use the upper display buttons to press the Packs Button.
The displayed page lists all Packs that are installed on Push and gives you access to Packs that are available to download. To install a Pack, use the jog wheel or Session D-Pad and select Available Packs.
Packs Compatibility
Most instruments and effects contained in Ableton Packs work normally on Push (standalone) in Standalone Mode. For some devices, the ability to control certain parameters may be limited, and some devices may not work as expected. For detailed information on device limitations on Push, see Push (standalone) Max for Live Device Compatibility.
Managing Packs
To uninstall a Pack, highlight it with the jog-wheel and nudge it to the right, then select “Uninstall” with the jog wheel.
If you download a pack but decide to not install it, you can delete the uninstalled download. To do this, highlight it with the jog-wheel and nudge it to the right. Then select “Delete Download.”
By default, when saving a Set on Push (standalone), all samples used in the Set are collected into the project folder, except samples from Factory Packs. If opening a Set shared from another user, you should install any Factory Packs used in the Set to avoid missing samples.
Continuity Between Push and Live
For how to transfer Live Sets, samples, and other media between Push and your computer, see Managing Projects on Push (standalone) and the Push User Manual.
Note: To access Packs bundled with Push in Live on your computer, follow the steps here on How to re-authorize Live on your computer.
