LogicX-Push2 - Logic Pro X Adaption (WIP)

To Install:

brew install cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libxml2 libxslt libffi libusb


python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py

updated interface and controls to use new Osc file in Docs. (WIP) Tested on Logic 11 / Mac OS 13.6.6

LogicX-Push2 allows your ableton PUSH2 to have more functionality in Logic Pro beyond the default "user" mode. LogicX-Push2 is based on the source code for Psyha, which is a Python 3 app to use Push2 as a standalone MIDI controller. It has manily been designed to work as a controller for Apple's Logic PRO, but it can also be used as a generic controller. To run LogicX-Push2, you just need to install Python requirements and run app.py on a computer connected to Push2 and with a MIDI interface to output messages.

New Features include:

• Updated Frontend UI
• Updated Transport Controls (Stop / Play / Record / Metronome / Mute / Solo )
• Better Navigation Controls
• External Hardware / Software Instrument Midi CC configuration and mapping with up to various instrument*
• Access to PUSH2 Scale Type
• Multi Function Pads and Buttons ( shift state / alternate state / single press / double press / long press )
• Full keybind support for Logic Pro (bind any key in Logic to anything on the PUSH2) ** requires OSCulator

Other Features

• Play melodies and chords in a chromatic scale mode
• Use classic 4x4 (and up to 8x8!) pad grid in the rhythm layout mode
• Choose between channel aftertouch and polyphonic aftertouch
• Use accent mode for fixed 127 velocity playing
• Use touchstrip as a pitch bend or modulation wheel
• Interactively adjust velocity/aftertouch sensitivity curves
• Merge MIDI in from a MIDI input and also send it to the main MIDI out
• Interactively configure MIDI in/out settings
• Select tracks and show track number information on screen
• Show track instrument information and sync colors (with preloaded information about what each track is routed to)
• Mute/unmute 64 tracks displayed in Push2's 64 pads
• Send MIDI control CC data using the encoders, use synth definition files (much like's) to show show controls and control names in a meaningful way
• Select track instrument presets by sending program change messages
• Temporarily disable screen rendering
• Save current settings so these are automatically loaded on next run
• Easy software update (provided an internet connection is working)

User manual

Here are some notes about how to use LogicX-Push2:

• Press Note button to toggle between rhythmic/melodic layouts.
• Use Ocateve up and Octave down buttons to change octaves.
• Press Shift + Accent button to toggle between pitch bend/modulation wheel modes for the touchstrip.
• Press Add Track button to cycle through instruments 1-8 / 9-16 / 17-24.
• Press Accent button to activate fixed velocity mode (all notes will be triggered with full 127 velocity).
• Press Setup button several times to cycle through configuration pages where you'll find options to:
  • Set MIDI out device and channel
  • Set MIDI in device and channel (for MIDI merge functionality)
  • Set MIDI root note
  • Toggle between polyphonic/channel aftertouch modes
  • Configure channel pressure range and velocity/polyphonic aftertouch pad response curves
  • Save current settings to file (will be loaded automatically when LogicX-Push2 runs again)
  • Run software update (to update LogicX-Push2 version, requires internet connection)
  • Reset Push MIDI configuration (sometimes this is needed if not all pads are lit as expected or you see wrong button colors)
• Select External Hardware/Software Midi CC instruments 1-8 by pressing the 8 buttons right above the pads.
• Navigate between groups of CC controls using the 8 buttons above the display, and the Page left/Page right buttons.
• Use instrument definition files to show proper MIDI CC control names and group them in meaningful sections. See examples in the instrument_definitions folder.
• Customize track contents editing the track_listing.json file. What comes by default is what I use in my setup.
• Press SHIFT + Long press / User BUTTON button to deactivate the display (useful for slow computers running LogicX-Push2).
• Press Add device button to enter Preset selection mode (or hold the button to only momentarily activate that mode). While in this mode, press any of the 64 pads to send a program change message to the corresponding track synth with values 0-63. This allows you to select one of the first 64 presets for the current bank. Long-press one of the pads to mark this preset as "favourite" and highlight it (this info is saved). Long-press again to "unfavorite" the preset. Use left and right arrows to move to the next 64 presets (64-127) and iterate through available banks.
