The slice mode kinda sucks tbh

Yep, add 16 slices mode per pad and they can pretty much call it done as far as I’m concerned.

Don’t really care one way or the other about audio tracks, but iirc they said in one of the discord amas that warping was unlikely so probably not much advantage or point over just using a drum pad if so. Could be wrong about that though.

I would just want to use audio tracks as a seamless live looper with overdubs .
This and probability are the most voted features on the discord channel .
my dt2 is looking really angry at me because i use the move more often and it gets deeper integrated in my setup with the dn2,hydra and sp

Hey everybody, I’m new here but spent a couple of days reading already - what an amount of info!

I have a question about Move + Note working together. What I’m trying to do: I’m playing with the new Drift on Note app and want to use the encoders on Move to control the dials in Note + use the pads on Move to play notes on Note.

What I did:

  1. connected Move to iphone/ipad using USB-C cable (+ CCK lightning adapter)
  2. set the Move to Control Live mode
  3. set the Note Midi input for Ableton Move Live Port
  4. mapped 8 Move encoders to dials Macro1…8 in Note

What works: I can play Note synth using the pads on Move
What doesn’t: the encoders mostly don’t work and when they do, they only work as on/off switch, e.g. setting the Attack only works in max/min positions.

I also tried to use the standalone mode with Ableton Move User Port as input, but there the encoders are not recognized at all (not even in mapping settings). The pads work.

I’m on Move 1.7.0 and I’m aware there is a possibility to tweak drift parameters on Move directly, but the visualization on Note would be helpful.

Any help please?

Unfortunately what you’re trying to do isn’t currently supported and is one of the most requested features regarding Note and Move. There are open source homebrew projects out there to configure the Move as a control surface (started as a configuration for the M8) but unless you build it yourself, I’m not aware of anyone having set up a template for Note (and I’m not even sure if Note can assign midi knobs to drift parameters at all)

Thanks for the information! Hopefully it will be implemented in the near future…
