@rtme

You can design your drums and synth presets in Ableton Live and export them as a new “machine” (preset) for the Move.

Okay I’m officially sold. Thank you.

[chapelierfou]

Technically no, but the starting point gets automatically adjusted. It’s a bit a hit or miss but mainly works.

It IS the crisis.

Give me a break. By this point everyone aware that hardware peaked 20 years ago. Today you just buy tools that cover your needs or go by with what you already own.

It is underpowered? K, move along. Nobody owe you anything. You owe them nothing as well.

[antic604]

It says it will be shipped between 1-7 days at least 1h ago when I tried it.
They might eventually run out of immediately available stock and put you in the queue.
That’s how it worked when P3 came out at least.

[freebyrd]

strange on the german page it just says “Items that are in stock usually ship in 1-2 working days”.

[chapelierfou]

Just basic arp and repeat.

@alechko

ok, so maybe the device is not for you then?

For sure.

After watching the sonicstate video I hope to see in their roadmap:

New Capabilities

• Use track as MIDI as an instrument (not wavetable or drift)
• Granular or FM engine
• CTRL-All mangle before returning to a locked state ala Elektron.
• The usual suspects on notes manipulation like probability, setting the last step, nudging left/right, humanisation, etc.

Does anybody know if Move is USB class-compliant for audio?

[Buska]

Went down a YouTube rabbit hole on this and somehow ended up buying a Digitakt 2 🤷😂

@antic604

None of the videos indicated Move can be used as a “controller” for Note, or the other way around.

It would be very weird if not possible as it is based on the same architecture

[Oxenholme]

16 bars, 256 steps. Just like Note.

[orionka]

Live recognizes it as Audio Input and Output device… so yes

[Juliusmonk]

Huge dissappointment. Not an Ableton fan anyway, but I thought there were onto something here.

[cthegranada]

I’m curious about potential integration with push as an additional controller. Doesn’t seem to be a big focus of the Move, which is fine, but I was holding off on buying a UC4 until this release. Still curious if they compete since they have a similar price point. Maybe in the future…

[daniel-pl]

I mean class-compliant for mobile devices, iPhone to be precise.

[orionka]

fair, but I think one can extrapolate from that… so I think yes

[khapankov]

My guess is no, since they focus on MIDI whenever they mention USB-A port

@antic604

1st, how are the macros allocated? is it fixed e.g. first 4 go to the instrument, then the 2 to 1st FX and 2 to 2nd FX? can I have an instrument without FX? or with just one FX? does that change the number of available macros for control, e.g. Drift w/o FX would have 8 macros?

Macros depend on the preset.
You’ve got two banks of Macros.

@antic604

2nd, do we know what CPU is in there? Is there any chance to eventually get Meld there? or Roar?

No idea, would be cool of course. I would have said that Wavetable is already CPU intensive.

@antic604

3rd, when using Drum Rack’s 16 Pitches mode - can the 16 pitches window be “moved” if it doesn’t cover the pitch range required?

Yes, in that context the +/- buttons change the octave.
