Fully Upgradeable: Push the Limits of Music Making
Over a decade ago, Ableton’s revolutionary studio-to-live-performance architecture made the leap from virtual to physical with the first-gen Push controller. As Ableton’s multifaceted performance power has grown, so has each successive Push controller to support the expanding terrain of multidimensional stage and studio use, culminating in the Push 3. This Push 3 Upgrade Kit lets you transform your controller-only Ableton Push 3 into an unplugged powerhouse, giving you everything needed to seize the sonic potential of Ableton sans any computer connections. Everything needed to make your Push 3 a genuinely standalone instrument is included, and Sweetwater’s studio mavens are impressed with how seamless and intuitive Ableton has made the process. A protective mat and back plate lifter keep sensitive surfaces and contacts safe from accidental disruption or damage, with a screwdriver — and all the necessary screws — supplied to install the included 256GB SSD hard drive, Intel processor, heatsink, and lithium-iron-phosphate battery. What’s more, the provided processor marks an industry breakthrough, as it’s Intel’s first processor to be adapted for Push. What makes this so special? This tailored take on the Intel 11th Gen Core i3-1115G4 processor is realized as the Intel NUC Compute Element, combining processing power, 8GB of RAM, memory, and Wi-Fi capability into an all-in-one unit. Plus, not only does this Upgrade Kit retain the Push 3’s standard 3-year warranty, but everything in the kit is covered by a 3-year warranty of its own. Unlock the unbridled and untethered power of your Ableton Push 3 by going full-standalone!

Why go full standalone?
This is a fair question, especially for longtime Push users. While the Push 3 is unparalleled in its performance power when it comes to controlling Ableton, transforming your Push 3 into a standalone instrument shifts virtually every musical paradigm of your Ableton-based workflow. Everything you love about Ableton and the Push 3 multiplies to become a boundless, laptop-free music-making experience, equally voltaic and versatile on the stage as it is in the studio. Every one of the Push 3’s audio, MIDI, data, and pedal ports becomes gateways to limitless creative configurations, empowering you to use your Push 3 with external instruments, hardware synths, effects units, processing gear, and beyond. Plus, a standalone Push 3 supports two-way project management. By using the added Wi-Fi connectivity, Sets can fluidly move between your computer and your Push, giving you immense flexibility in how you ideate, write, record, and perform. The DAW is just the beginning of what Ableton can do to support your wildest creative ambitions. Where will you start first?
