r/AbletonMove

I have a few Push 2 (to different locales) and didn't really see the need for a Push 3 as I have a few MPE instruments and it's too big for my self contained/on the go situations. I do have an TE XY and OP1F and that is my mobile gig BUT I've used Live for years and wondering what a Move might add for me.

I am fairly new to Ableton. I’ve had it for about a month and have been enjoying it immensely. It is the first real DAW that has just CLICKED for me.

Prior to this I was making a lot of music on my MPC Live 2 and the SP-404MKII.

Currently I am considering picking up an Ableton Move as a little standalone that I can take with me on trips and just noodle around on sitting on the couch or at the park. Someone near me is selling one for $400 with a case.

As I’ve said, I currently own a MPC and SP-404 so I’m curious if the Move would really be worth it? Would it add anything for me worth the $400?

The other option is just picking up a Novation Launchkey 49 MK4 as it would be really nice to have some keys to play midi directly into Ableton.

Hey all,

Does anyone know if there are any third-party alternatives to the USB Splitter Cable from the Ableton website, which is not available in my country:

https://www.ableton.com/en/shop/merchandise/

From a browse of Amazon it looks like most USB-C splitters are designed for charging and running headphones at the same time, i.e. they don't support USB 2.0 data transfer.

All I'm trying to do is run Move's audio through USB-C to and from a Lightning iPad without the Move constantly complaining about insufficient power.

Thanks!

EDIT: I should add that I am also using the Apple Lightning to Camera adapter. Currently my solution is using that with external USB-C power, but it is extremely finicky and if I don't connect the cables in a specific order before powering on the Move, it will immediately disconnect and need to be power cycled before I can try again.

The move is sold with live intro. Stupid question here. When I export the project to live intro, will some effects / instruments be not available in Live Intro or will I be able to go on working exactly like on the move?

Anyone’s pads glitching after the 2.0 update? One of my pads (second pad from left, second last row), keeps getting pressed automatically.

Longest length for audio tracks

Hi,

I'd like to use the move as a traditional style 4 track recorder. Anyone know the max recording time length? And the best way to do this?

Microphone preamp?

I’d like to start using my dynamic and condenser mics with move. I have a focusrite 18i8, but my ideal situation is to be able to work on the Move without my computer. The 18i8 doesnt work standalone. I’m ok with a preamp that needs AC power. Just don’t want to be tethered to my Mac.

Considering the iRig pre 2, but worried about noise floor.

Anyone have microphone preamp recommendations?

Breakbeat (BB Gen) for Ableton Move and Schwung

I love drum n bass, I hate manual drum programming. Computers to the rescue! This is a simple breakbeat slicer that lets you go from clean loops to completely randomized silly, some presets, some loops to get you started and some extra handy features added by Charles, Mr Schwung himself. I dig it, I hope others will too. :)

I made Drum Rack Generator, a M4L device that instantly generates full Drum Racks from your favorite sample packs (w/ Ableton Move/Note preset conversion)!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share a Max for Live device I made called Drum Rack Generator that I think is really useful. It a device that lets you drag and drop sample folders, categorizes all the samples, and then generates infinite Drum Rack presets from them.

There's also a button that converts the entire Drum Rack to a Move/Note compatible format.

Here’s a YouTube demonstration for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/qpTcMtd-SN0?si=B6Dq7YTdQm9nj1Wi

Main Features:

- Drag and drop your favorite sample packs: Easily drag sample folders from Finder or Explorer into the drop zone. No limit on the number of sample packs or number of samples that can be added.
- Instantly generate infinite 4x4 Drum Rack Presets: After adding sample packs, click one button to create a full Drum Rack. (C1-D#2 pads)
-Automatic sample categorization: All added samples are categorized using filename keyword matching and checking the sample length to prevent the inclusion of loops.
- Fully customizable sample categorization: Edit existing categorization settings to fit your sample packs or create completely new sample categories.
- Individual drum pad controls: Choose the sample category for a pad, lock that pad to prevent it from being changed by further rerolls, and reroll the pad's sample to focus on quickly finding a sample for that particular pad.
-Ableton Move/Note preset conversion: One click button to convert Drum Rack into an Ableton Move/Note compatible preset, ready to export.
-Push controls: Use Push controls to quickly build Drum Racks completely on your Push.

Requirements:
Ableton Live 12.4+

Trigless Trigs on Move

Today I was experimenting with features on the Move (I’ve only had it for 3 weeks) and discovered that you can sequence effects and parameters. What we call “Trigless Trigs” in the Elektron world. You can’t sequence conditionals or probability, but it seemed like a lot for such a small and powerful box.

Is it possible to transfer projects from Ableton on my MacBook to the Move?

Hopefully this isn't a silly question, but is it possible to transfer a project from my desktop to the Move?

How can I remove or toggle off effects?

I made a drift preset for my Move.

All I want to do is turn off / remove the effect from the chain. There has to be a way because I have other presets that are just the synth and then have a “add effect” slot next to it.

Someone help a brother out! Idk why some of this stuff is so hard to find a straight forward answer online.

New Move User and I have some questions

im trying to figure out a mobile setup for the move. I have a Bose Soundlink Max that I thought would make a great speaker but I get the slightest delay from it (connected thru Aux).

Also, how do you guys sample from your phone? I bought a USB-C to AUX and it sounds very distorted and low when I try to record with it. It did the same when I connected AUX to my ROG Ally X to the mic input. The cleanest sound I've gotten has been USB-C to USB-C from my laptop. Am I doing something wrong?
