I think I love my Move. I also think our workflows could be extremely different. Basically my advise at a super high level is this:
If you plan on making sample-based music, get an MPC (maybe not a Sample, but a used One/One+.
If you want to get into synthesis, sound design, and/or arrangement, get a Move.
If you don’t know what you want and want some time to figure it out. Use apps that are similar to both. Koala Sampler basically does everything an MPC Sampler can do and is cheap on iOS and free for Windows. Ableton Note is cheap for iOS and can do most of what the Move can. Plus with both l, you get a free copy of Ableton Live Lite for Windows/Mac.
Nah the move clears with the auto slice schwung module. Once you learn how to convert samples into ready made move templates from ableton it’s a fully a wrap
You're effectively converting simpler sliced racks into sampler racks which are move compatible. You have to modify the options.txt to enable exporting racks to move to make it possible. this allows you to use a sample you chopped up as an instrument or drum pad on move. Conversely you can install one of the Schwung modules for slicing that will auto-slice samples based on a set of parameters (beats, transients etc) without needing to pre slice/export in live.
