Yeah the way I see it there are a few ways to approach it.

1 - It’s just a scratchpad, start ideas and move to the computer

2- Four tracks are plenty. There are millions of four piece bands who made great arrangements and sounded big and full and musically interesting. Since tracks are polyphonic there is so much. you can do with a single patch just in different registers. Your bass line track might also be able to do little plucky high end things on top. A high pitched lead sound might make a great lower drone pad underneath your bass.

3 - Fully exploit everything it can do. 64 samples which can be played chromatically across 4 tracks with a total of 32 note polyphony which can then be further resampled and messed with. The possibilities are endless.

Oh I know I didn’t, but I’s my assumption wrong that you can send different tracks to different midi channels? Or do you mean you can send every drum sample track to a different one?

Great pics, the banana for scale is perfect!

Looking for a snug fit case that does not apply pressure to the knobs. Any recommendations?

You can only assign one of the four tracks to the MIDI out. I don’t think sequencing external gear is its strong point at least at the moment.

This cat is a relatively new YTber; apparently worked on the Move project early on. This is part 3 of his mini tutorial; clearly he feels very limited

Can you copy/paste the title of this case here?

(clicking Amazon links to another country is a pain to view or get back to your native account…)

Anyone tried to import a stock rack like the 909 core drum rack? It has really nice drive/glue/vintage macros on it.

Does the Move have the same effects or I wonder what happens when you try and bring it over. Also I think the 909 core kit has multisamples on the hi hats so that may make it impossible right there.

I have a move but have barely been able to turn it on this week. Already thinking of some workflows and the core kits came to mind.

On a side note, the Live core kits sound really damn good. I’ve been comparing to d16s, and they can hold their own.

I’m low key wishing Ableton would randomize our first four tracks in Live. I thought it’d be weird, but it’s pretty inspiring for me.

I bet somebody will come up with a Max for Live device to do that, if there isn’t one already.

I cranked up one of the devices on the main track and it does indeed bring the speaker to life. It really has a ton of headroom to spare. I got it very loud without any distortion. Totally usable like this.

Planning to whip it out and annoy people on the metro next time somebody watches TikTok with the sound up. :wink:

His videos are real nice, full of nice little tricks. I’m very on the crunchy / weird hiphop side of stuff, so I feel very at home with what he demonstrates.

I watched this episode but I didn’t get a sense that he felt very limited. Sounded more like he was excited about it all. Did I miss something?

I think it was sarcasm.

I agree. I was surprised when i started playing them and their better than most paid for sample libraries.

You could resample your favorites into a Move drum rack, then swap in the 909 multisample kit when you get back to Live.

A REALLY simple way would be for someone to just make a Move preset that perfectly corresponds to the Ableton 909 kit, for example, so the two totally correspond, but the Move version is a basic, single-sample version with all the drum hits in the right place so the transfer to the kit in Ableton is seamless. That would be the awesome!!

Then do it for all the X0X kits :smiley:
