Running Push2Qml with existing Ableton Live 9.5 libraries on Windows 64-bit:
1. Copy Push2Qml.exe executable to C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 9 Suite\Program
2. Drag ColorAnimationTest.qml onto Push2Qml.exe. Alternatively, you can use any QML file.
Emulating an Ableton Push 1 using Ableton Push 2:
You need to create 2 MIDI loopback ports with the names "MIDIIN2 (Ableton Push)" and "MIDIOUT2 (Ableton Push)".
This can be done on Windows using loopMIDI.
Run Push2Qml. It will use PushDisplay.qml from the same directory if it exists to emulate the Push 1 display.
