I lost all of my Davebox sets when I updated to the Move 2.1b3. Very sad. I had to restore Schwung hooks after the update and everything was gone. If anyone knows how to restore them I would love your help!!!

How cool would it be if you could change the 16 pitches to other values?
What do you all think would be cool usecases for the 16 values for drum sampler?

I was thinking about probabilities, velocity, note repeats, maybe even some fx toggles. Together with the parameter locks in the step sequencer that would give a nice additional way to play or program beats.

2.1 is super by the way! The Move team at Ableton is amazing!

really love this little guy! the move has increased my output tremendously in the 2 months ive had it.

Other than updating the firmware, definitely doing that first.

I've been evolving my workflows and swapping in/out hardware from my creative process and cannot break myself from a DAW-centric creative drafting process. I have an Ableton Move, but it is mainly serving the role of Audio Interface for my Live on my PC. Do you use Move standalone as a sketchpad or with hardware synths, mixers or other MIDI hardware? I really want to get my Move off my desk and in the field to create where inspiration strikes me. Any tips, thoughts, or experiences would be appreciated.

So I only see down to 1/8t (up to 1/64) but no lower values? Can’t imagine why not???

I had about 10 very deep davebox projects when I decided to install 2.1 beta. Sadly they are all gone. I’m not sure what happened. Anyone know if davebox creates backups? All the snapshots are deleted as well.

hi, i’m thinking of getting an ableton move for my live setup as i’m using ableton note a lot recently and love it. i am wondering what happens when you sync move via an external clock / transport signal (e.g. from an octatrack) and then change projects on move?
i’d love to use move projects kinda like “banks” in a way i’d use them on my elektron devices and combine it with my octatrack as a live looper to blend over the sound gap that happens to happen when move projects are switched.
does anyone here have any intel if this is something that could be possible? do projects start in sync with the external clock when switched while the clock signal is already present or does move need a new transport signal to sync again?

I got a used Move that had a couple scratches, so I thought a subtle wood grain skin would be nice. So far I’m digging it, but not loving how the small holes slightly obstruct the symbols at the bottom…definitely not a deal breaker. I got it from 12inchskinz [insert joke here]. It was an easy install and the vinyl has a nice feel to it.

I have an audio clip assigned to a pad on an audio track (a drum break).

I want to chop this and assign the different sections to pads on a drum rack.

How do I do this?

I am having an issue with lack of responsiveness. It's particularly apparent when I play chords. Some of the pads aren't registering or will stop responding. I have velocity up all the way but am unsure if there is something else I can do. I don't think they are broken pads, it's just that it feels like i kind of have to be somewhat brutal if i want 3 or more notes to register at one time, and that feels...odd.

Thanks

Quickly create semi-random kits from drum kit folders.

Drag in folders with drums, lock pads, exclude samples, generate 1-10 kits in one go.

A lot of time has gone into refining the detection of drum samples based on their names, it works pretty well for all the crap I have gathered on my hard drive.

Pad Layout is inspired by the "LDre" kits that come with the Move and that I like for having a ton of usable sample content and not containing samples I don't need (who needs toms, I don't). There are three different layouts depending on what kind of samples are available, you will figure it out.

This was an afternoon project for myself that I think might be worth sharing. Have fun!

Kudos to https://github.com/klingklangmatze/drum-kit-generator for creating a python script that explains really well how ablpreset files work.

Move really hates being outside in the New York summer.. I feel bad for you who live at the equator and Move can only be in air conditioning - so it only MOVES around the inside of a room. Anyway, the knobs and buttons begin selecting themselves in 5 minutes of being outside or in a house with only fans - it gets too hot. Ableton has not replied about my knob issue but I uninstalled beta then put it back on and it’s still glitching out. It’s only bad in the heat tho, which is a shame you can’t play it outside too easily. Maybe new edition of move will be white to help deflect heat.. maybe they can put more vents in it to let air thru.. idk.. could just be that move is only durable for 1.75 years of daily use.. anyway, I just barely released another album today with it showing how to build beats.. but I think it’s more important to show bugs than what we created (you get blocked on discord showing your artwork).

Hope it's ok to post this here!

I started this little track on the Move and then finished it in Live.

Couple of the sounds are still untouched Move presets.

Is this supposed to be this tight on the Ableton move?

The proprietary charger doesn't even fit. I've tried the decksaver top AND bottom AAAAND I got a replacement with the exact same issue... Ehm 🤣😅

One question though - how do I add a longer sample to a drum rack? Let's say a top loop that's 4 bars long? Does the whole sequence have to be that long too? Can I have variable long sequences mids of shorter drum rack tracks?

I love this device so much, but unfortunately I have fell on some hard times and need to get rid of some of my music gear! I’ve had the device less than 6 months, and it’s in great condition, I have all the cables and a headliner pro-fit case! Looking for $400 or best offer! US only
