RYTM MUTE - Push 3 Mute & Solo workflow for Analog Rytm MKII

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small Max for Live device I’ve been working on for my own Analog Rytm MKII setup.

If you need it, you can get there : RYTM MUTE - Control Analog Rytm Mute & Solo from Push 3 - Max for Live MIDI device

I use Push 3 and Ableton Live to sequence the Rytm, and I wanted a simple way to use the normal Drum Rack Mute and Solo controls directly from Push while keeping the Rytm as the sound source.

I couldn’t get the workflow exactly the way I wanted, so I ended up building my own little solution: RYTM MUTE.

The basic workflow is:

Push 3 → RYTM MUTE → Drum Rack → MIDI → Analog Rytm MKII**

You can sequence the Rytm from Push, and the Mute/Solo states of the Drum Rack control which notes are allowed through to the corresponding Rytm tracks. It’s a MIDI device — it doesn’t process the Rytm audio.

I also made a ready-to-use Ableton Live Set because the routing can be a little confusing the first time.

This honestly wasn’t something I originally planned to turn into a product. I was just trying to solve a problem in my own setup, and then thought it might be useful to other Rytm + Push users too.

I’ve released the first version on Gumroad, but I’m also posting here because I’d genuinely be interested to hear how other people are using Rytm + Ableton + Push, and whether anyone has been looking for a similar workflow.

Feedback, ideas, questions, and criticism are very welcome. :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers,

Do you think the vibes are worth $10.31?

Thanks, that’s actually a very good question. I know musicians who spend more than $10 on cigarettes, drinks, or things they forget about the next day. In this case, those $10 support a tool that solves a real workflow problem, and they also allow me to keep developing and improving it. If I calculated the price purely from the hours I spent building it, $10 would actually be ridiculously cheap, and part of that price also goes to Gumroad fees. But there’s something more important: creative work shouldn’t be valued only by the hours it takes. Time is life. One hour of someone’s work is literally one hour of their life. When I find a tool made by another creator that solves a problem for me, I’m happy to support them because I know what goes into creating something from nothing. So, are the vibes worth $10.31? :smile: That’s for everyone to decide. But if RYTM MUTE makes your Rytm + Push workflow better, I think $10 is a pretty small price for something you can keep using. And genuinely, thanks for asking. It’s a good conversation for all of us who create things and sometimes undervalue our own work.
