Design & Playability
The Push 3 Standalone features 64 MPE-enabled pads with XY sensors for each pad, allowing pitchbend, slide and pressure per pad for expressive performance. The front panel includes a large colour display, jog wheel, endless encoders, multiple dedicated buttons and a layout optimized for session-view style workflows. With dimensions approx. 380 × 318 × 29 mm and weight ~3.95 kg, it’s portable enough for studio-to-gig movement.
Sampling / Performance / Features
In Standalone Mode, Push 3 runs without a computer: supports Live instruments & effects built-in, allows recording audio and MIDI, sequencing, clip launching and set editing. The built-in audio interface lets you connect instruments and mics directly. The standalone model comes with WiFi for wireless set and pack downloads, and a battery that gives you mobile freedom.
Sound & FX
Push 3 includes a full audio/MIDI engine, multi-track capabilities, pad expressive controls and dedicated audio inputs/outputs. You can create, record and perform all from one box. Note: in Standalone Mode it doesn’t support VSTs/AUs yet — you'll need to freeze/flatten tracks if you move sets from a computer with plug-ins.
Connectivity
Push 3 Standalone offers comprehensive connectivity: balanced line inputs and outputs, headphone jack, ADAT optical I/O, USB-A and USB-C, MIDI In/Out, CV/gate outputs for modular gear, and more. It supports both Standalone Mode (no computer) and Control Mode (connected to Live on computer).
Why It Fits Malaysian Musicians
For Malaysian producers, live performers and electronic artists who move between home studios, rehearsal spaces and live venues, the Ableton Push 3 Standalone offers the ultimate workflow. You get full production, performance and recording capability in one unit — less gear to carry, fewer cables, more creative freedom. Offered at CK Music Malaysia with support and local servicing, this is a serious investment.
