Push2, controlling Rack2 Free (without Ableton Live)
I show 8 knobs switched with 8 buttons, only two groups are done. You can copy/paste the 8xPILE+1*SPLIT’s with wires for the remaining 6 buttons.
You only have to move the poly wire from the pasted split to the matching output on “Triggered switch”.
Patch saved as a VCV selection. File → Import Selection to load.

The push2 knobs 1-8 rotation are mapped in the MIDI-STEP module - and mode is set to BEATSTEP RELATIVE #2 - (what Ableton calls “Relative (lin 2’s Comp.)” ).
Each of the eight buttons under the knobs in are mapped in the MIDI-MAP to one of the eight triggered switches.
You may want to adjust the step size(knob) and range (in the right click menus) of each PILE module.
I have used the Stoermelder packone plugin - it’s not in the library yet, but you can find the dev. version here: Release Development build · stoermelder/vcvrack-packone · GitHub
You can patch the “OUT” from the PILE modules to control any module with CV in.
You can patch the “OUT” from the PILE modules to a Stoermelder uMAP module to control knobs/sliders etc.
The push2 only shows the logo on the screen.
If someone wants to write a module to get more out of the Ableton Push2 - Ableton has doc and example JUCE source code available:
- GitHub - Ableton/push-interface: The Ableton Push 2 MIDI and display interface manual.
- GitHub - Ableton/push2-display-with-juce
and more on the Push2 user mode in Ableton Live
Also, the fine opensource “Bespoke Synth”, has Ableton Push2 integration (incl. gfx on the push2) - may be simpler to interface to the VCV vst through that - I haven’t looked much into it yet
