The Move vs Note track count difference does baffle me I have to say. But as I only started using Note after Move was announced, I’ve deliberately set a mental four track limit for myself.
I did though, when I was playing around with Sampler as one track on the Move, find it more convenient to sync the set with Note and use an extra track to fire up a drum rack, bring in the sample, and then delete the original sampler track. Switching back down to 4 tracks again with the sync’d set to use on the Move.
I agree it does need at another four tracks and I also think a Simpler that can auto chop and map, hopefully in an update.
**Ableton has never done me wrong as a company and I feel bad for speculating that they might engage in some of the more dubious practices of the software industry, so edited that part out
They have most likely been werking on it for a while. The design is certainly thought out and executed on. You don’t just whip out a device outta no where.
I mean there’s time that ends up being devoted to the freakin packaging.
It seems like ableton was fully aware of the viability and desire for a Push Mini, but decided to go another route… was it a business decision would a Push Mini have cut into the Push 3 sales enough to warrant a Move instead or what really led to the Move over a Push Mini I wonder, or is the fact that a mini push has been made even more of a viable proven concept by the Move, and is a Push Mini on the way?
For me the Move is a Push (controller) mini. Like anything small, it has compromises, like fewer buttons and no screen. But it has most of the Push’s buttons, all its knobs, and half its pads, plus it’s a way better portable fun machine.
For me, I think I’d prefer to take a laptop and a Move with me over the Push standalone.
probably because that it’s possible that Move has never been just “another route” around some hypothetical push mini in the first place.
i think they had this concept in mind way before Note has been released. in fact, Note turned out to be sorta Move’s prototype.
soo maybe Move has nothing to do with “push mini” idea or concept altogether?
and all the similarities with Push… considering there is such thing as “Ableton design language”, and just common sense — almost any conttoller with pads and 8 knobs may somehow be resemblant to a smaller push
but if you follow that train of thought then why wouldn’t you think the idea of a push mini preceded the Note like you think the note gave birth to the Move… I’m aware of a Push Mini being talked about many years ago?
that’s my question , how could this bastion of common sense exist while some how being fantastically oblivious to the viability of a Push Mini?
isn’t that a bit like saying people love the grid slicing feature so much on the digitakt but they have no idea how much people would like precise editing of the slices?
hence my wondering if the Move moves closer to a push mini or farther away?
I agree with you, people already think of any miniature grid controller as possibly being a push mini, so surely the concept of a push Mini hasn’t flown over ableton’s head, how would that make sense?
I certainly wouldn’t consider the thought wild speculation
release of Move says nothing about their awareness of the viability of push mini (and i’m sure of many other things as well that we’re not aware of). i’m sure they’re doing their market research. it’s just something like Move seems to be even more viable than push mini atm
