Depends, if the device uses a class compliant midi implementation. I assume it should work, but you can’t be sure.
Does it even have any LFOs per pad? And how many?
There’s a melodic sampler that can play polyphonically, and there’s a Drum Rack that can play up to sixteen monophonic samples. It’s a bit confusing on paper but Note works the same way and it’s totally fine once you’re up and running.
what’s the source?
A portastudio where you need another audio interface. This doesn’t have instrument in and can’t accept dynamic microphones, not to mention phantom power.
And recording the audio into a drum rack to start the tracks as one shots…
Yeah no, the thing is not made with singer/songwriters in mind at all.

See I don’t think we are, the size of the enthusiast market is small compared to the potential market of “lifestyle” consumers with disposable income looking for a fun hobby/distraction, who up until now would never buy an Ableton product. I think this is targeting them (people who’d buy Teenage Engineering things because they look cool etc) as much as music makers, which I think is a smart move by Ableton to increase their addressable market.

It shouldn’t matter though as long as the adapter itself is compliant. It would pose as a device that then just takes the USB MIDI and spits it out as DIN, like MIDI thru.

I’m with you, I ordered one this morning at work before i’d even seen a video, now I’ve had a chance to catch up I’m stoked to have something I can slouch with and use as a live controller and audio interface… I think it’s pretty reasonable at 399, I was expecting it to be 5/550…

where did they say they were adding sample slicing and time stretching, audio tracks?
where did you view the internal roadmap?
and can anybody please confirm whether copying a sample in the drum rack takes up more memory or not?
I actually was a songwriter and I could easily sketch out a song with this when they add audio tracks (which they are). Sorry that won’t work for you. But i already know some writers who work at universal and bought this thing.
Most songwriters were putting down ideas into their phones. Needing a dynamic mic and phantom power is not really a thing for sketching out concepts.

It was pasted in this thread. Also shared on the discord from one of the Note developers.

I love the 16 bars, I love the drum tracks, I love the quick move to the IOS Note app and back and forth. Love the easy integration with Live…it’s not an end all groovebox, just a nice little portable unit to start some tracks with. I’m excited.

Peeps with Ableton Note app, can you control Ableton with the app like use it as a midi controller to launch clips etc?. Possible to do it wired so no latency too?
Does the seqtrak have polyphonic sampler tracks? I’ve been looking for a polyphonic sampler the complement elektron gear so I was pretty excited about move coming out, but if the seqtrak has that as a feature and has better sync and cc implementation than move then it might just be a better option for what I’m looking for.
Do you want them to reclassify as a non-profit organization?

Finally caught up on this thread while trying to work today lol
I’m debating getting this. I’ve never been into DAWs much before and this seems like a good way to dip my toes in it.
On the flip side, I’ve been looking for some device that I can use to sample into my SP404. Had my eye on the MC-101, possibly the Seqtraq, but now this could also fill that need. Decisions decisions 
(Apologies if it’s been asked already. This thread has gotten loooong)
Can someone who has used Move tell us if the knobs are all evenly “tensioned”, if that’s the right word?
I know on my Push 2 a few knobs are tight, some are medium tight, and a couple are extremely loose (bought new from factory). This is highly annoying to me for such an expensive device.

I’m going to put a billion Maschine expansion kits into this thing. Hopefully you can convert an existing drum rack easily because I have a ton of them I converted with Kit Maker.

If someone finds this again, please let me know.
