Control Nuendo or Cubase with your Ableton Push 2 — full display, mixer, Channel Strip with live EQ curve, plugin control, footswitches and timeline navigation — on macOS and Windows.
This open-source bridge lets you use your Ableton Push 2 as a full-featured controller for Steinberg Nuendo 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. It runs as a lightweight macOS menu bar app or a standalone Windows app — no Python install required.
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 quietly in the macOS menu bar or the Windows system tray. Check status, open the Plugin Mapper, and view logs without leaving your session.
GPL-3 licensed. Fork it, hack it, extend it. Contributions welcome.
Play and control virtual instruments directly from the Push 2 pads and encoders through your DAW.
Drive the full Nuendo channel strip — Gate, Compressor, EQ, Tools, Saturator and Limiter — with a live EQ curve and per-module parameter pages.
Browse, load, bypass and tweak insert plugins from the Push 2, with custom parameter mappings via the built-in Plugin Mapper.
Capture plugin parameters live from Nuendo — even iLok-protected, Waves or Steinberg stock plug-ins — for effects and instruments alike.
Both pedal jacks, assignable to Sustain, Play/Stop, Record or Rec/Stop with polarity invert — hands-free punch-ins included.
Four D-pads on the grid for zoom, scroll, markers and nudge — with hold-to-repeat, while you keep mixing.
Grab the package, follow the setup guide, and you're ready to go. If this project saved you time or sparked joy, consider buying me a coffee.
