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.
