Visible harmony
Every chord in the current key remains visible, making the harmonic map easier to read and play from Push 2.
Ableton Push 2 · Max for Live workflow
Play a visible chord grid from Push 2.
Tuple is a free Max for Live chord device for Ableton Live. It keeps in-key and borrowed chords visible on one color-coded grid, so Push 2 can become a playable harmony surface instead of another menu.

Workflow illustration of Tuple's chord grid mapped to Push 2 pads.
A chord device built for playing, not browsing.
Push 2 is strongest when the musical surface stays immediate. Tuple follows that idea: chords are laid out as a stable, visible grid, so you can move between diatonic chords, borrowed chords, voicings and captured progressions without stopping the writing flow.
Borrowed chords nearby
Add color from outside the key without opening a separate theory browser or losing the main progression context.
Workflow-first control
Use Push 2 and MIDI controls to keep chord exploration hands-on inside Ableton Live.
From chord idea to MIDI clip.
Tuple runs as a Max for Live MIDI device inside Ableton Live, before the instrument you want to control. Play chords, refine voicings and voice leading, then capture a progression into a MIDI clip when the idea works.
Live key / scale sync
Keep Tuple aligned with the current Ableton Live harmonic context.
Voice leading
Move between chords with smoother note motion when writing progressions.
Progression capture
Turn played chord movements into MIDI material you can arrange and edit.
Free, open-source, made for Ableton Live.
Tuple is for producers who want harmony to stay visible and playable inside their Ableton workflow.
