Yeah, there is no faster workflow of any groovebox/device that I have ever used. If there is, I am not sure how it’s even possible. People can complain about missing features or how some things can be tightened up, but it’s amazing how well they nailed the core workflow out the gate. To me, that is the most important aspect of a groovebox, does it let you actually “groove” and get in an easy flow state or do you need a cheat sheet and have blockers everywhere you go on how things work.
The foundation of this device is fantastic out the gate - which hopefully will shape the future in a very positive way. If you look at something like my MPC, the core workflow IMO wasn’t great and it needed a complete re-design of its workflow to finally get to where it’s at today with the beta. The deluge needed an entire screen update before I could even use it properly. The Circuit’s workflow was hampered by not having a screen, there was only so much you can do and chopping waveform visuals on pads was comical. Elektron nailed their core workflow many years ago as well, which is why we are all here in some way. My point being, they got a lot right out the gate and that just doesnt happen a lot these days, sadly.

Agree with this completely. Not to mention the ease of handing over sets and using a web based transfer system for samples. This all makes my life easier and I can get down to making grooves

does the Move make you want to get a push 3?

As someone who owned and sold the P3SA, the immediacy and first-impression-fun of Move is absolutely preventing me from even thinking about the Push 3 unless someone mentions it. The Push 3’s power pulled the same trick on me for the first 6 months I had it, though, in spite of the clunkiness that was immediately apparent (though it’s not any worse than an MPC on that front). I’ll be more curious to see how mine and others’ sentiment on Move evolves over time.

It’s a good question. I didn’t like Push 3 standalone this much on first impression because it was slow to boot and I felt like I could just use Ableton faster with a mouse and keyboard. The move does not feel like that, because it doesn’t feel like Ableton in a box at all to me. It just feels like its own thing. Also, push 3 was so big and heavy that I had it on a desk the entire time, which again, made me just want to open Ableton Live and work like that with a mouse and keyboard.

Nobody who has/had a push misses doing MPE pitch bends? Push 3 is probably my favourite instrument to play because I can do the things I like to do on guitar in terms of bends and micro pitch with any sound I want.
Main reason I’ve been holding off, I feel like it’s going to really bug me.

Had a Push 3 controller for a while, but it was too big and clunky to enjoy using. Move is immediate fun and seems like a much more natural way to bring the benefits of hardware control into Live. MPE was definitely cool though.

Arrived today and ripped the screen protector off within 10 mins. I’ve always struggled integrating hardware synths that have sequencers into a hybrid set up. More often than not they get in the way of song creation and I end up jamming without recording.
The great thing about move is it gives you that initial idea for a track quickly and you can then send it over to ableton to turn it into a track, with the added bonus of being a controller. I’ve no intention of plugging this into my soundcard, it’ll be headphones away from the desk for creation, and controller mode when running ableton.
Early days but very happy with it so far!

I had P3SA and sold it. I was always irritated and annoyed with it, because it felt like operating full Live Suite with a broom stick through a key-hole. I might get the controller version though when it’s on sale, because the MPE pads were quite magical

Can anyone confirm the arpeggiator behavior in regards to the following:
When you have a sequence going of chords, can you turn on the arp and then all of those chords get arpeggiated, or do you need to record the sequence with the arpeggiator.
Also does it latch?
Thank you in advance! Did not see this covered in the manual.
You need to record it. Move doesn’t actually add the Arp to the Track Preset. It’s a realtime effect, that affects live playback

So you’re saying that a recorded chord (not arpeggiated), cannot be turned into an arp or can? Sorry, the phrase “realtime effect, that affects live playback” sounds like you can do this, which is exactly what I’m hoping you can do.

It’s made me get mine back out after boxing it up to sell (;but not listing it)… I’m really digging jumping between Note/Live/Push/Move, and I didn’t feel that way pre-Move, it’s feeling very much like the missing link.

No, you can’t - you have to record it in real time.

I totally am. MPE is my favorite thing about the Push 3, but like @CCMP the Move has gotten me way more excited about the Push and Live. I’m even using Note.
In a way it reminds me of Mac, iPad, and iPhone, and the way each of them is better at one thing in particular, even though the Mac is obviously the most powerful. And also they all interoperate via the cloud.
