A while ago I wrote about 5 Max for Live devices to further enhance the features of Ableton Push. Now there are two new ones that I find very useful: Push Color Picker and Push Midi Clip Transposer.
Push Color Picker
This audio effect allows you to set the colours of clips and scenes from Push. Once loaded somewhere in your Live Set, the following becomes possible in Push’s Session Mode:
- Select + Up Arrow: Choose a colour for all clips in the selected track.
- Select + Down Arrow: Choose a colour for all clips in the selected scene.
- Select + Left Arrow: Choose a colour for the currently selected clip.
- Select + Right Arrow: Choose a colour for the currently selected scene.

Push Midi Clip Transposer
This MIDI effect, once added to the track allows you to transpose the clips when you’re in Push’s Note Mode:
- Select + Up Arrow = + Octave
- Select + Down Arrow = – Octave
- Select + Right Arrow = + Semitone
- Select + Left Arrow = – Semitone

This way for heaps more Max for Live devices & tips.

Does the color picker have the ability to set custom colors in 64 pad drum rack mode?
No, that’s not a feature Live offers at this point, so couldn’t be accessed via the Live API.
