Amazing, thank you! That pushes the Move into far more appealing territory for me, especially considering it (presumably) handles stereo samples.
Potential use case - send MIDI start/stop and notes from Move to iPad, record four-bar loop audio iPad (all through USB) into a track, then chuck that loop into one of the 16 drum cells on one track.
I donāt do ābeatsā and Iām not big on āsamplingā, so I donāt really care about utilizing Drum Racks to overcome that limitation and without Elektronās P-Locks Move would end up - for me - as 4 bars / 4 track idea generator with basic & flat sounds, rudimentary & generic effects and no direction. All it can do is drums, pads, bass and one lead, which just isnāt enough to even start a basic arrangement.
The following parameters are available in the Main Bank, starting with the leftmost encoder:
Transpose/Detune ā transposes the sampleās pitch up or down by semitones. Hold the Shift button to detune the sample in cents.
Sample Start ā adjusts the starting position for the sampleās playback. Hold Shift to adjust in fine increments.
Attack ā adjusts how quickly the sampleās sound reaches full volume. Hold Shift to adjust in fine increments.
Hold ā determines how long the sample plays back after the pad is pressed. Hold Shift to adjust in fine increments.
Decay/Length - Decay adjusts how quickly the sample becomes silent after the Hold time. Hold Shift to switch to the Length parameter, which can be used to adjust the sampleās length.
Playback Effect ā selects the playback effect type used to manipulate the sample. You can choose from nine available playback effects: Stretch, Loop, Pitch Env, Punch, 8-Bit, FM, Ring Mod, Sub Osc, and Noise. Each playback effect type has two unique parameters, which are assigned to encoders 7 and 8.
although it might be possible in Loop mode and the unique parameters
yep, but thereās a lazy chop /realtime manual chopping as well⦠itās not bad, I want far more in depth sampling features but I can deal with any kind of chopping reallyā¦
the thing about Sampling and sampling features that I am discovering with all of the sample based beatmachines coming out these days is that imho it seems like Sampling is the most important feature to all of the Devs because itās the sample based features that they cut corners on, and use most to differentiate between the different products in their line ups⦠they give you tons of factory sounds and they Give you synths with usually enough features but sampling is like the bathwater they want to throw out at least that is what I used to think⦠I thought they just hate sample based production or donāt care enough to give it the attention it needs but obviously if sample based features are the oneās they skimp on and want you to only have access to them in their flagship products that means that in reality sample based features are their most valuable features and their features they make most of their money with!!!
Drum Rack has chromatic playback for each of the 16 slots, like MPC 16 levels (on the right hand 4x4); itāll be interesting to see how that translates back to Live.
But, that makes it really powerful IMO.
Also, as a Live user, having a controller with a 16 TR style layout is really appealing, I reckon Iād pay for a controller like this on its own.
I ordered it just as became available. I read the docs and saw the vids later.
Iām not sorry at all. Itās such a polished workflow.
And Iām glad I got many of the features correct.
Told you that you can edit samples with that screen and itās super usable.
No sample slice but you can easily duplicate pads and edit start point. I can work with that.
A nice thing is you can hit sampling and hit pads and you can live chop this way. It will use the same sample which you can fine tweak later. This is super dope.
So 4 tracks is real, not sure about automation lanes, only premapped devices can be used.
not for me ?
It has a high risk beeing too toyish and if i have to do the sound design anyways in live, why should i transfer that to move? Lets wait for Tonverk.
No arrangement overview, so you would have to remember which pattern does what - nah, i prefer MPC Once 1000x more. Or Octatrack, at least it has 8 tracks.
Also no mention of midi generators , and hence even midi generators only on 4 tracks would not be enough to make me want it. I could launch midi clips from a novation launchpad mini.
Its also not fully MPE supported, only pressure.
