Ableton 'MOVE' Feature Overview Compact Controller AND Standalone Groovebox!

CORRECTION: Currently sharing device presets from Live to Move is not enabled, however we have confirmed this feature is 'Coming Soon'. We jumped the gun a little there, oops! At the time of release, user sample upload is enabled, but not presets...yet.

Agreed! Great video and demonstration.

Can you chain different patterns together? I make grime/drill beats. I like to make multiple drum patterns and chain them together to play one after the other. Is this possible? Hopefully, that makes sense. I currently use a teenage engineering po-33 and love its work flow. Hoping this operates along the same lines 😁

Well, push 3 and move work together while controlling live on computer?

does it work the same with bitwig?

Really interesting device! However I have already Deluge and MC-101 so I don't see much sense in buying this one ;) Cheers!

Four tracks is shit. It's the reason I have to trade up from my Keystep Pro.

Could I connect my Akai Mpc keys to this and record what I play on the MPC into the move? Also If I connect a eurorack to my MPC Keys and have that connected to this would it work? If so I’m buying this asap!!!

How is the polyphony, I really like to have a lot of samples playing at the same time and am concerned about voice stealing. Thoughts?

Fail for me. Maybe next version better for sample based music production

One thing I will say - Maschine can already do chromatic drums. Every pad is basically on its own MIDI channel so you can select a pad and go into note mode for it (or play it from a connected controller). It’s actually the main thing that kept me using Maschine over Push 2 and I was hoping the launch of Move would mean this feature had made it to Live. How will this be handled when you export a set if it’s unique to the Move?

This 16 pitches feature is so undercommunnicated from the Ableton side. I feel like many people (including me) didn't like the device because they didn't know you can do it

I don't understand why companies keep producing devices with 20+ unlabeled buttons. Total no-go for me, I don't want to decipher an ant-sized screen to understand after a 4-week break what what does. Totally intransparent.

In controller mode can you select more than 4 tracks if your Ableton session has more than 4? I can’t seem to find that out anywhere

How's the synth capabilities compare to the Novation Circuit Tracks?

Can I record vocals?

Are the mpc drum grooves available in there? If so does the note repeat play those grooves with that swing?

Love this review! I've already bought it hours ago and I have been watching reviews. Yours is the best and thought your intro playing was the best I've seen yet!

I still haven’t heard any inspirational music on it yet. Probably have to wait for someone like Jeremy from RMR to demo it before I decide if I’ll buy one.

$99 for a bit of quick fun in the park. No, it's crap..

Granulator device is there?

Hey! Wait a minute?!? How did you....?

Would rather just buy another OP-1 Field or an iphone w GarageBand

The in-built microphone & audio input for sampling + chromatic drums & efficient export make this a similar Circuit tracks workflow but with more efficient audio & midi exporting. Can it be played like an independent drum or synth without a laptop? Audio outs?

You guys are easily pleased

When will it be available in stores?

"It's like a 64 track sequencer with 4 busses." Why are you guys complaining about the 4 tracks?

Can you sample via usb too?

No midi (only via USB), sucks if you have other gear

pass

Sweet 😂🤦🤷

At first glance, it's ticking all the boxes

Wow, it doesnt have a built-in speaker :)

✌️Not very innovating! They keep taking Ls on hardware! 🤙

How long can patterns be? I see the specs state 16 step sequencer, can it for example go up to 64 or beyond with the right page button? Thanks

Nice overview! thanks

so will nobody demo the "controller" side of the thing? what I'm actually interested about

Does it sidechain?

are you able to use the octave up and down buttons while in drumrack's pitch mode? basically can you extend the 16 pitch range? Also how does this translate to Ableton Live? is it MPE information? or some kind of pitch automation in the clip ?

Where do I put my 2 mono-cables?! As I also want to be able to listen to the headphones at the same time.

nice review! not sure we can import drift or wavetable presets to Move yet

I was concerned about the track count until you pointed out that each track can host a drum rack of 16 sounds. Great review

Looks like your webmaster needs to do a little bit more finessing

Of course Sweetwater has them for sale now and a nice write-up on their website about them

So new it's not even on the website
