// WHAT IT DOES
Push 3 Standalone is a complete music production studio in a box. It has Live's full audio engine running on a chip inside the unit, a built-in audio interface, a screen showing the session, and all of Push 3's pads and controls. You can create a session from scratch, add instruments, record audio from the built-in or external inputs, and perform a set — all without a laptop. Projects are saved to an internal drive and open on your computer exactly as they are on Push.
Think of it like → Push 3 Standalone is like an iPad that runs the full desktop version of the app — not a lite version, the real thing.
▸ WHY YOU CARE
- • For live performance, no laptop means one less thing to go wrong — and no fan noise audible to the audience.
- • For production, Push Standalone works anywhere: studio, tour bus, couch — no need to set up a computer.
- • Push 3 projects open in Live on your computer — the workflow is completely continuous.
// SEE & HEAR IT
PUSH 3
▸ Melodic mode = scale-locked pads (root highlighted). Drum mode = 64 pads + step sequencer. Session mode = scene/clip grid.
▸ COMMON MISTAKES
- ✗ Loading a session with many heavy plugins without testing CPU first — Push's processor is capable but not infinite
- ✗ Not importing samples to the internal drive before going standalone — missing samples = no sound at the gig
