1. Connect Push 2 to your computer via USB

2. Your Push 2 should automatically work with Melodics once it has been run (at least once) with Ableton Live.

Select your Push 2 in Melodics settings. You should see a light display flash across the Pads of the Push to signal the connection. If not, make sure Melodics has pads selected as the instrument and not drums or keys.


Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you DO NOT have Ableton Live running
    Make sure you only have Melodics open and not Ableton Live at the same time. Having both running will present a conflict for which app Push 2 connects to.

  • Make sure you are in Live Mode, not User Mode.
    Melodics connects to the Live port of the Push, if the hardware does not connect in Melodics it may be in User Mode. To change to Live Mode:

    1. Open Ableton Live (this should automatically connect to your Push 2, provided you have gone through the Push 2 setup).

    2. If in user mode the User button (top right) should be lit, press this to switch out of User mode.
