Using MIDI on Push for external hardware control.

00:00

Connect MIDI hardware through MIDI Out or USB-A ports.

Configure parameters in the setup menu for MIDI and audio routing.

Play pads on Push in Note mode to control synthesizers.

Trigger MIDI clips, record adjustments as automation, enable MIDI CC messages, and arm tracks for recording automation.

00:00In this video we'll explore how to play and control external

00:03hardware with MIDI on Push.

00:06One of the easiest ways to do this is using the External Instrument device,

00:10which allows you to configure the MIDI routing and the audio input routing

00:14directly from the device so you can play your external instrument with the pads.

00:18You can use either the MIDI Out port or the USB-A port on Push

00:22to control your MIDI hardware.

00:24When utilizing the MIDI Out port make sure you use the relevant MIDI adapter

00:28before connecting the MIDI cable to the MIDI input port of your device.

00:32Push's MIDI output is already configured to send MIDI notes to your instrument.

00:38You may have an external instrument that utilizes MIDI over USB.

00:42After you've connected your device via the USB-A port, there are a few parameters

00:46that you'll need to configure in the MIDI section of the setup menu on Push.

00:50Go to the setup menu and under MIDI, make sure in the Output port that

00:54you've set Track to control your synth.

00:56If your synth receives MIDI clock, then you'll also need to set Sync.

01:01As a next step, I'll need to connect the audio of my external device.

01:05You can decide whether you want to record an instrument in mono or stereo,

01:08depending on the number of outputs it has.

01:11Now, I'll need to set up my MIDI track with an External Instrument device.

01:16I'll go to my browser and select an External Instrument device

01:19and add it to a MIDI track.

01:24I'll first select the appropriate MIDI port I wish to use with this device.

01:32Then I'll select my audio inputs to receive the audio from the synthesizer.

01:38Before I start to play the pads on Push, I have to make

01:40sure that I'm in the Note mode.

01:44Now when I play a pad, I'm actually playing the synthesizer that is

01:47being routed back in through Push.

01:52Now I'll trigger a pre-prepared MIDI clip.

01:55The MIDI clip is sending notes to the synthesizer, next to the

01:58Push, playing back the melody.

02:06Now let's take a look how you can record adjustments from your MIDI

02:09external instrument directly into Push as automation in the MIDI clip.

02:14First, make sure that transmitting MIDI CC messages from your synthesizer or

02:18external hardware device is enabled.

02:21In the MIDI input ports in the setup menu under the MIDI tab,

02:25make sure that Track is enabled.

02:28Next, you have to make sure that the track you want to record the

02:30automation to is armed for recording.

02:33Now when I press record, any of the adjustments I make of my synthesizer

02:38will be recorded as automation in the MIDI clip.

02:42In this particular case, I'm going to adjust the cutoff filter.
