Not sure people here are interested but added a vocoder, Rex player and ported the usual suspects’ virus emulator.

Wow this project is shooting on all cylinders. Everytime I check there is 20 new things added :laughing:

This is amazing. How stable is it?

Just curious, does this expand the step sequencer in any way? The main reason I never considered a Move was the 16 step sequencer.

You mean 16 bar sequencer? A pattern on the Move can be up to 256 steps (which is pretty wild IMHO).

Really impressed with this project. Thanks for all the good work you’re doing, it’s tremendously appreciated.

Right now it doesn’t change the sequencer - my philosophy with this project is to use as much as we get “for free” with the move UI to begin with: sets, clips, midi capture, etc. Currently it’s basically like a bunch of external sound modules (with a few extra shortcuts), not a modification of the Move workflow.

The hooks are all there to do more if you want, but it means building everything from scratch to then have control over a new UI. That’s an incredible amount of work for features like 8 tracks or a different step sequencer. But: the code’s there, if someone wants to!

@muzka It’s hard to quantify - the Move itself doesn’t crash (often), but it can happen. Some modules are more robust than others. I wouldn’t rely on it for a stadium tour, but I haven’t had problems with it on my daily drive.

Oh damn, I think I must have misread 16 bars as 16 steps. That rocks.

Thank you so much.
It’s a great project.
Any chance you could add JE8086 from the usual suspects?

No, the Pi can’t run that - has about 25% of the juice.

It’s great as it is. Cheers.

Next frontier = RPi CM 4 swap for RPi CM 5 :smiley:

Just noticed they have Osirus on there (Virus B/C emulator). Oh joy :heart_eyes:

This totally doubles move’s value.

Should i install all that AI code on my device? I’m not sure

It is a lot of AI code, for sure - I freely admit that. That being said it is reversible in two ways: 1) uninstaller in the gui installer fully removes to stock state 2) there’s a DFU restore mode on ableton’s center code. Both will get you back to stock state.

The system itself all runs in usermade, restricted to userdata - the only root activity on device is to replace the move binary with the shim so to give us access to third party code at boot.
