Apple holds keynotes on Tuesdays.
The whole “move” thing is an unfortunate confusion. Oct 8th is when the moving trucks are arriving. They are letting us know that they are relocating.
Hopeful here.
I really want a small ish machine that can (1) capture quantised long clips easily for live takes (2) do something interesting to them afterwards.
Octatrack can do mangling and I love it and know it well, but clip recording especially for long clips is harder work than one click in Ableton. Blackbox can do clips, but with multiple clicks, and mostly fails on mangling. Push and Force are great but stupidly huge. Sp404 and mpc can do clips ish but only with hacky workarounds, and are great at mangling.
Those last two could become dream box in a single fw update but maybe I’m alone in my desires and it’ll never happen. The popularity of Ableton suggests otherwise but maybe people don’t use it for clips as much as I do.
Don’t worry, Loopop’s review video will be up tomorrow morning and we’ll all know whether it’s for us or not

Tuesday used to be the day new albums were released.

Describing the screen as a “Status display” still makes me want to weep for some reason.
I’ve woken up this Monday with an oddly “fuck it” attitude which very likely will lead to me buying this thing. I think this is really due to me following Buffalo and having another Sunday ruined by them…

Assuming that a drum track works like in Ableton (with separate processing for the tracks, planing, etc)
But that’s a huge if. And for the rest: if I need more melodic stuff this is limiting, and mostly, the “sure, you can block sounds”
If I want another synth on section b, and can’t clock sounds, then I need more tracks. On electron gear I can use the track of the a section sound that fades out.
And if both sounds need different processing it’s a chore to p-lock all parameters. Imho it’s a solid workaround for elektron gear, but if this has to be closer to the Ableton workflow then more tracks is the solution. 8 are needed.
Even if its one drum track, 4 is a bit short, i like the form factor if that picture is real.

1700+ posts pre-release is wild, that in itself is a win for Ableton.

I still believe that if you don‘t have a good representation of a waveform while sample chopping then it‘s just not a good experience. At least for me. So I still hope its fake. I would have needed half of the Push screen for it to be interesting. OP-Z was not for me and the little Oled on the Native Instruments M32 is way to small and also Model:Cycles was just too small of a screen.

You’re lucky if you get more than a 4 character segment display these days, apparently.

I have the strong feeling that all those pixelated icons are promoted to be hip as hell just to cover up that they are neccessary because the display is just not capable of anything other.
You can chop just fine if that screen shows the part of the sample where the cursor is! Like the Digitakt.

What if Move only allows for using presets, with minimal ways to alter them?
And Ableton will double-down producing way more sound packs for it, than it ever did for Live?

Also, the resolution is most probably the same as the Digitakt (128x64px), given that all of those standard screens have the same pixel resolution. So all the pixels of the Digitakt would fit in there, it would just be smaller.
