PUSH02 – Playing & Controlling Instruments
Push opens up a new, infinite world of diatonic composition! Push allows us to play in key using its isomorphic pad layout. Learn how to create chords, basslines and melodies using Push’s Melodic 64 Mode, Melodic Sequencer, and its hybrid mode— Melodic Sequencer+32 Notes.
