The instrument suite · Made for Push
Push becomes the instrument.
A family of instruments and effects built around the Push — each with its own display pages, pad layouts and encoder maps, so you play it all by hand and never look at a screen.
Popol Vuh Studio turns a Mac and a Push into a complete groovebox, no DAW. The same plugins run in Live and Cubase. The glyphs are the family — pick one to step inside.
Get the whole suite, or just the one you need: every instrument and effect is also sold on its own as a VST3/AU plugin.

No DAW. Just Push.
One instrument: sequencer, sounds, mixer and transport, all under your fingers on the Push.

Popol Vuh Studio turns a Mac and a Push into a groovebox for playing live. No timeline, no track list: one sequencer, the instruments, one mixer, one transport, and the Push in your hands.
Whole suite or single plugins. Every instrument and effect is also sold on its own and runs as a VST3/AU plugin in Live, Cubase and Popol Vuh Studio.
Inside the Studio
- One sequencer, the whole family. TZOLKIN sequences TUNKUL (drums), ITZAMNA (synth), IXIM (granular), HURAKAN (build-ups) and XMUCANE (looper) by MIDI channel.
- Mix and effects. Three insert slots per channel, four FX returns, the KINICH master finisher on the sum.
- Built for playing live. PERFORM page, global key and scale, metronome with count-in, WAV recording after the master finisher.
- Push is the surface. The app drives the Push the way a DAW does: its own mixer and PERFORM pages, plus every plugin's familiar Push pages.
Two homes
- Popol Vuh Studio. A standalone macOS app. Quit your DAW, plug in the Push, start the app.
- Live. The same plugins as VST3 (most also AU) with the same Push pages. LOCK opens a Navigator with the Popol Vuh plugins in your set.
- Cubase. The plugins also run in Cubase as VST3.
