Ableton Move : User Thread

:question:

I wanted to confirm if I’m not missing something (using current 1.5 beta):

  1. I’ve a bass patch created using Drift or Wavetable and I want to resample a single note of it into Drum Rack track. There’s no way to enable resampling on a pad, switch to the bass track, play the sound and go back to edit the sample, right? Instead, I have to:

    • create a clip with just that one bass note playing
    • solo the bass track
    • make sure to disable / bypass any master effects
    • resample by triggering playback
  2. In Drum Rack track I’ve a rich sounding audio wave (e.g. a buzzy saw) that I’d like to use for bassline, but I need to shape it with the filter built-in in the Drum Sampler. If I’m not mistaken, the filter doesn’t have any envelope, right? I can only use velocity or MPE Slide to modulate a static value of the cutoff, but that’s it, no?

I got a Move again, and just noticed this while trying to create a Drift preset :frowning:

" Note: Macro dials in Instrument Rack or Drum Rack that have been mapped in Live will not be displayed."

The thing is … it displays them, but they dont’ do anything :slight_smile:

The delivery courier has now had my Move for 15 days. Hopefully they’re making some great tunes.

(Seriously hoping I actually get it tomorrow).

I believe Drift rack macros also work fine on the Move, but not the ones from Drum Racks.

No, only the macros for Drift itself will work.

The outside ones that can control Drift AND the inserts, won’t:

I actually mapped Drift to the inside rack, then the Macro 1 from inside rack to Macro 1 from outside rack.

Drift is what I wanna control anyways. So if this works… I’m game.
They should make this more simple tbh. Adding the flag in Options.txt… wrapping Drift in a certain order… bleah…

Edit: WORKS! Thanks bro! Would be nice to map multiple pages :wink:

I think / hope this is coming! They recently changed how banks of controls for Drum Rack pads are changed, which suggests we might be able to move between 2+ banks in the future (despite what they give as a justification :wink: ):

Fingers crossed :slight_smile:

Yeah. Was thinking exactly at that.

Yeah I wish they had made it easier to make presets, and export them to the move.

I’ve just added Drift macro assignment to the extending-move project if you want to check it out:

Did someone manage to extend the storage by using another sd card ?
Cheers !

I’m really hoping Move will be on sale this summer. That would motivate me to get one along with an Ableton update to the latest version.

This is definitely possible, from someone else:

Use dd/etcher to write the move recovery image to a card bigger than 64gb, boot the sd on the Move, it’ll do all of the partition expansion on first boot, and you’ll have a 128/256/512/1T move

Use an sd of the same/faster spec of course

Hope this doesn’t come across as rude, but why?. I have dumped several tons of samples on to the Move and its hardly made a dent on the device in terms of storage. However, it’s a pain in the ass to scroll and look for things on the device scrolling for stuff. There’s also the annoying local.move browser where you can only select one item at a time, so copying and downloading from the device is more clunky than it should be. Please Ableton enable multi select!!

Yeah you’re right ! I was hoping that qol improvement on browsing would help wading through a large library… Still curious :wink:

With an SSH key, you can also access via SFTP if you’re willing to risk moving things around.

What are you downloading in bulk? Samples you created on the Move by bouncing? Or audio tracks created in Move?

User Samples on Move would have been uploaded, so there shouldn’t be a need to download them back to their source (unless of a data loss).

Although, I would prefer no move.local, and have a direct computer file broswer by usb-c.

I mean when accessing local.move. If you want to download stuff from the move, you can only download 1 at a time. Instead there should be a multi select option and choose the files you want to download to my computer. Also another scenario, going through my user recordings, I have so many files and I have to delete them 1 by 1, instead why is there no otion again for multi select so I can delete more. Hope that makes sense.

It totally, does. I was just curious as why you need to. Ie, what your user case is.

What are you thinking the solution could be? Metadata tags?

I do love working with Arturia software because of their favorites tag, and five colored label tags (which would not work on move).
