Control Nuendo 15 or Cubase with your Ableton Push 2 — full display, volume control, transport, and mixer — all running from a lightweight macOS menu bar app.
This open-source bridge lets you use your Ableton Push 2 as a full-featured controller for Steinberg Nuendo 15 and Cubase. The Python backend drives the Push 2 display and manages MIDI routing, while a companion JavaScript MIDI Remote Script handles the DAW side. Everything runs as a lightweight macOS menu bar app.
Encoders mapped to volume, pan, and sends with real-time visual feedback on the Push 2 display.
Play, stop, record, loop, and navigate your timeline directly from the Push 2 buttons.
Track names, parameter values, meters — the Push 2 screen shows everything you need at a glance.
Changes in Nuendo are instantly reflected on the Push 2, and vice versa. No lag, no drift.
Runs silently in your menu bar. Connect, disconnect, and monitor status without leaving your session.
