INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
Tricky Traps is a collection of 16 creative contraptions spanning sequencers,

instruments and MIDI effects that are tons of fun to play. They’re designed to be chained
together to trigger unexpected reactions and happy accidents – and they bring a new
level of customized control to Push.
Each MIDI device and audio effect can be accessed via a customized Push grid, giving
you a range of tactile sequencing options that are totally new to Push. It works well with
other controllers too, or your MIDI keyboard.

MIDI SEQUENCERS
At the heart of the collection are five quirky sequencer MIDI effects for quick creation of
unexpected patterns, either on-screen or from Push:
4PLAY

CONTROLLER ENABLE: The toggle above “Select Device…”, Determines whether the
selected controller is on or off.
CONTROLLER SELECT: The menu located below Controller Enable. Selects the
controller being used with the MIDI sequencer.
RESCAN: Utility to rescan the controllers registered within live. Useful when the MIDI
sequencer has been dragged into Ableton Live before a controller has been plugged in.
FULL VIEW: Opens an alternative pop-up viewing window.
TAB : Located in the upper right corner, this will change which playhead controls are
currently being viewed.
ENABLE: Turns the currently selected playhead on or off.
DIRECTION: Changes the direction of the currently selected playhead. Options include
forward, backward, palindrome, rotate and random.
5

KEY: Determines the key being used for the sequence.
BANK: Changes which bank of notes your currently viewing. Bank up for an additional 8
notes.
SWING: Shifts the in-between notes of the currently selected playhead. Use this to
create grooves in you pattern.
ISO ARP
Create pseudo-random progressions within a scale and key. Great for generating
melodic soundscapes that fluctuate over time.

pattern.
RATE: The number boxes below the sequence matrix. Determines the speed for the
correlating column.
MASTER RATE: Determines the speed of all columns simultaneously.
RADAR
A rhythmic circular sequencer where each lane can run at its own speed or direction.
Assign each of the four lanes to any drum rack.
7
NOTE: The keyboard to the right of the sequence. Determines the note being played by
the color correlating sequence (i.e red, blue, yellow or pink).
OCTAVE: The addition and subtraction symbols located to the right of the Notes. Shifts
the Note Keyboard up or down an octave.
MUTE/SOLO: The M and S buttons located to the right of octave. Mutes or solos the
correlating sequence (i.e red, blue, yellow or pink).
RATE: Controls the speed of the currently the correlating sequence (i.e red, blue, yellow
or pink) relative to live’s transport.
DIRECTION: Changes the direction of the correlating sequence (i.e red, blue, yellow or
pink). Options include forward, backward, palindrome, rotate and random.
SWING: Shifts the in-between notes of the correlating sequence (i.e red, blue, yellow or

progressions and run the chord set through an expressive arpeggiator/sequencer for
transcendent melodic patterns.

CHORD ON/OFF: Determines whether the chord function of Ripkord is being used or
not.
TRIGGER: Determines which key trigger is being viewed. Each key trigger can be used
to create different chord shapes. The available notes to trigger chord shapes are C2-B3.

MIDI input.
CHORD SELECT: Chooses a chord shape for the selected key trigger.
9

C: Stands for clear; will reset the currently viewed sequence to it’s initial value.
RETRIG: Determines whether the sequence will re-trigger when a MIDI input received.
RIPPLE
Generates sound ripples that echo on a grid. Set up notes and repeaters to create self-
oscillating ripple patterns.
RATE: Controls the speed of the sequencer relative to live’s transport.
11
TAB: Located below the sequence grid. Determines the input mode of the sequence
grid.
TRIGGER: Begins a ripple, that will play notes as it passes through them.
NOTE: Allows you to input notes for the ripple the play as it passes through
them.
RE-TRIG: Allows you to input re-trigger ripples. These will cause a second ripple
to start as the Trigger Ripple passes through them.
***NOTE: This tab allows for the key modifiers shift and option. This means that you can
hold shift and click the matrix to input notes, and you can hold option and click the
matrix to input retriggers.
LENGTH: Determines how often the ripple will repeat when repeat is activated. This is
based on whatever the rate is set to.

tweaking: when the knob is released it snaps back to zero, so it’s great for hands-on
triggering of momentary effects.
controller being used with the device.
***Grid Ninja also can be triggered by MIDI. To do so, select MIDI under ‘Controller
Select’. Then grab MIDI NINJA from the Tricky Traps Grid Ninja Presets folder and drag
it onto a separate MIDI track. Make sure both are on the same channel, and you can
then use MIDI from the MIDI track containing MIDI NINJA to trigger value changes on
GRID NINJA. MIDI will trigger grid ninja from the notes C1- D#6.

were at when released.

range you are viewing (for macros 1-8) by click on the macro who’s range you want to
change.
