Wait. Can you put any instrument on any drum rack pad?

If so, couple that with the new pitch thing, you in theory could have 4 banks of 16 sounds. Crazy!

But yea, is that true?

I understand few things about Move, too.

But Iā€™ve asked this question to someone who actually HAS Move already - can user take existing preset on Move, e.g. one based on Wavetable, and change it completely, for example change the wave table, filter, envelopes, modulation mapping; then swap out the FX and save it as their own, new preset for future use?

I suspect no. At least until weā€™ll be able to do it in Live and then upload such preset to Move.

thereā€™s a list of every instrument and effect in the manual and been pasted here couple of times, itā€™s 4 instruments- drift, wavetable, drum rack and melodic sampler, from effects itā€™s eq, chorus, delay, some combination of compressor and eq, phaser, redux, reverb and saturator

Has anyone seen anything a EQ or filters, etc.? The promo videos are super vague on sound design. If Iā€™m wrong, Iā€™ll happily stand corrected. Iā€™m trying to really understand what Ableton is presenting us.

2973

only channel eq, no auto filter of eq8

2974

No, just Drum Sampler. Not even Simpler, AFAIK.

2975

Ahh dang.

I have Move already. The presets are mapped differently and you canĀ“t change Mapping on Move itself but you always can swap/change the two FX.

Found the info:

ā€œAudio effects

Add up to two effects to each individual Track and to the Main Track separately. Choose from Reverb, Delay, Saturator, Chorus-Ensemble, Phaser-Flanger, Redux, Channel EQ and Dynamics.ā€

Hey! Iā€™m hyped you get an actual xox step sequencer for the Live software now in Moveā€™s controller mode. Thatā€™s cool

Glad i could help. IĀ“d like to add that a lot of the presets are carefully crafted and itĀ“s possible to get a lot out of them, much more than i expected.

I agree too. I remember buying Elektronā€™s Models series before I went full in with Digitakt and ARM2. Once I got the hang of their workflow and wanted more, I dove in. And as a starter box, Move is plenty powerful. Maybe itā€™s not a more portable Push 3, but by the opinions shared here, Ableton has a market research already done for them. The seasoned Live users want a more portable version of Push.

Yes, absolutely, you can do this on the Device.

2986

What? :grinning:

Donā€™t doubt it, but all examples Iā€™ve heard so far are boring ā€œbeatsā€ and ā€œplinky plonkyā€ type stuff. No techno, trance, drum & bass or ambient, so I wonder about the breadth of the sound palette.

However, the ability to build presets in Live and upload them to Move, even if just for Wavetable, Drift and Drum Sampler, is promising.

I wonder why Meld didnā€™t make the cut? It doesnā€™t seem CPU intensive.

Or Simpler? Iā€™d love to slice some drum loops or basslines and mash them up.

From the manual:

It is also possible to set the step grid resolution in triplets, so that two ā€œstandardā€ steps are divided into three equal steps, effectively increasing the number of steps by a factor of 1.5. For example, when using a step grid resolution of 1/16t, one bar is divided into 24 steps across two pages, each with 12 steps.

Is this what you want?
