Sequencing a Room of MIDI Gear with Push 3

US Generative jolly with Mylar Melodies 01/05/25

Using modern equipment to control MIDI hardware often shines a new light on their performative capabilities. In this video, we join generative journeyman Mylar Melodies as he sequences the bejesus out of his studio equipment, from the central hub of a Push3. His aim is to create an expansive mix hardware, using some of Ableton's generative tools. Here's what he has to say:

In this video I've stuck Push 3 in the middle of my hardware island and wanted to see if it could sequence a boatload of synths using a mixture of handmade MIDI, generative Max4Live devices, and built-in MIDI effects to constrain things in useful ways. It totally can. I'll show what I enjoyed exploring, and build up a track idea in the process.

COMPANION TUTORIAL VID: If you have a Push 3 and want to try build something like this, I've made a companion tutorial video for this vid where I explain step by step all the various steps required to actually get Push 3 to DO what's in this video:

There's even a companion video to accompany this one, which you can see below:
