Ableton Move [Archived]

Where do I sign up??!!

Sampling space is an easy topic: don’t keep it anemic. A couple hundred MB are fine. And cheap in today’s time.
You can even limit it to something like 50mb sample space per project and have an SD card slot.

Effects: as long as the existing ones have proper controls and quality I’m bine. For example that’s one huge downside of coals, the effects are ‘fine’, but the control is missing. Reverb? …

I think nobody reasonably expects m4l, that’s not possible if you’re not running on a platform where “more power” can be the solution to badly designed devices.

Essentially: m8 tracker should be the base line.
Cause I don’t think they will sell it for <500€

When I was sketching on the Circuit, I used to just rec the MIDI, can do both synth channels simultaneously at 240BPM, quick and easy.

Then use better drums and synths to continue elsewhere.

The Circuits are better for sketching melodies than producing stems, imo. Same with the Deluge!

Where in Amsterdam is this?

Red Light District.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Just call me culturally and locale ignorant :crazy_face:

I’ve been thinking about this too.

An interesting point of reference is that Note surprisingly utilizes some Live Suite devices in its presets. I’m not sure what happens if you load projects that use these into Live Standard or the Lite version that comes bundled with Note.

This would suggest that Move will at very least have presets that use Wavetable, Operator, and so on, regardless of the version of Live that you have. What I could see them doing is offering macro controls out of the box (similar to Note), and unlocking full synth control if you sign in with a Suite license.

M8 to me is one of the most impressive pieces of handheld hardware I’ve ever owned. Not sure I’d consider it a baseline for success - more like a upper tier target.

At a loss of words on this one :wink:

And it’s made by 1 guy with a readily available chip (teensy) that’s using a vortex m-7 ARM processor.

It’s what’s possible if you don’t try to separate features between product groups ane don’t need to create an intuitive “music” UI but have essentially a “programming grid”. That takes away a lot of development headaches.

On the hardware/feature side the limitations some of the devices have are 100% artificial. Which I do understand to some degree, companies have more staff overhead.

But they also sell in bigger quantities and can push hardware cost down.

And I assume it will be 800-1000€, and for that price I DO expect it to match the M8.

Oh, and even if it’s way bellow M8 for the same price: they have an infrastructure, contracts and all set up to sell it in stores, get things out and that alone will mean it has a leg up to M8… :confused:

Speculation thread gets more speculative. :face_with_monocle:

You’re not far of. This used to be a mini red light district until a couple of years ago.

Mini red light district, mini push… i see what they’ve done here.

You can record into a clip, press and hold the convert button, select the clip, choose simpler. Done

Yes, I know, but how to get it into an existing drum rack channel?

Just enough for a 64MB microSD card for the Move

I think you can get a 32GB at that price.
