Ableton Move : User Thread

I read most of this thread, but I might’ve missed this one… Can I resample from Move line out-> Meris LVX (it can run at line level) → Move line in…?

Or would that create a feedback loop?

Yes, it’s possible to sample by routing the Move’s output back into its input. Just make sure monitoring is turned off to avoid a feedback loop.

Yeah, you can also directly sample to a playing pad, which is pretty cool.

Can we load midi loops/clips of notes (no automation) into Move?

No… hopefully it’s on the to do list. I went to the trouble of creating a program to extract midi clips from Live projects and create a Move project containing them…and then realised you can’t even upload projects/sets onto Move :frowning:

Woof.

This is BY FAR my biggest wishlist for Move. It’s great we can back up our projects, but if we can’t reload them on the device it’s only half the solution.

You can restore them if you backup using Ableton cloud and Note.

Yes, but it takes forever and as something I need to do all the time for my live sets is getting a little tiring.

This is also my biggest gripe with Move. I really would like to be able to load projects from backup, from myself and from others.

The Note workaround is way too cluncky.

Silly question… I want to send a sample into Meris LVX → Move.

Would this cable work?

Looks like it would. You want 1/8" trs to dual 1/4" ts which it looks like that is.

When connecting pedals and portable instruments, an adapter like this can come in handy:

This is probably because you - or Live, more specifically - can’t ensure that the project won’t include any features or patches that aren’t compatible with Move. After all Move isn’t running a cut-down version of Live Lite/Intro. It’s running a dedicated, proprietary software that includes bespoke versions of Live devices and produces a Set document that’s formatted to be read by Live.

It’s not something that’s impossible, but would require quite a bit of dev effort, which I’d rather see directed elsewhere (IMO, obviously) :wink:

It’s a bit more involved than I’ll go into here, but there are definitely flags that indicate a save set is from Move. So any sets uploaded to the cloud from Move should be able to be loaded back onto the device. I personally have no desire to load things from Live to Move, I just want to make sure any sets I save from Move to the cloud can be put back onto Move without needing a multiple step process using Note.

If we could save copies of a Move set, never to be opened in Live, just for purposes of being reloaded, that would give us a measure of backup safety against the unlimited undo/autosave methodology.

Especially for us Android users that do not have access to Note.

You’re killing me Brockstar!!!
I’m green with jealousy.

It is annoying. Just add an ON/OFF option.

You can press the loop button and then enter with the jog wheel.This creates an empty clip without starting the sequencer

How can you check what the available memory is left on the Move?
