Things I’m curious about which may need some more time to evaluate:
- Does the battery drain like the Push 3 Standalone’s battery when unused? P3SA had a serious problem with that.
- How do the buttons feel? Stiff like the P3, or a bit easier?

Not stiff at all. They all feel good.

What! That’s not good

Can someone who already has their Move as well as Push 3 try connecting both to Live as control surfaces and report back on whether/how they work together?
I remember reading somewhere that they aren’t supported simultaneously, and that is also the official story about multiple Push devices. However, I have been able to use a Push 1 in session + mixer mode and Push 3 in note mode together in Live with a fair amount of success. It would be very cool to use both Move as a session device and Push as a note device…
Can’t speak to the battery drain yet, but it annoys me quite a bit on Push 3 so I’ll report back if it happens here as well.
The buttons are a very, very pleasant surprise — nice and clicky, and you only need light pressure to activate them but I haven’t had even a hint of double triggering.

Yeah, it would drain a shocking amount every day. at least a few % if I remember correctly. There’s some talk about it in the Push 3 Users thread. As an extreme example, after not using it and it not being plugged in for about 45 days I had to charge it for a few minutes before it would even boot up - the battery had drained completely.

Thanks both of you! That’s encouraging to hear.

For the people that now have one, can you see if it’s possible to play more than 16 notes when playing a drum pad chromatically?
Do the octave up/down buttons work? And does the sample get pitched up and down, or just up?

It goes up and down.
I make it to be 7 to 8 octaves in range available for each sound.

For any user questions, let’s build a clean thread/database;

lets try this again… When you copy a sample from one pad to another does it take away more sample memory and actually duplicate the sample or does it only create a referenced sample that takes up no more sample memory?
In the Note beta (free and available for everyone)
There’s a step sequencer for all 16 pads simultaneously!
Sample editing is also much better, the iPad/iPhone mic is probably better,
You can see which parameter you’re tweaking…
It’s 443€ cheaper…
The beta is actually 450€ cheaper…

I just recorded a sample and copied it to every pad in a Drum Rack then changed a bunch of settings on each pad. According to Move Manager, there is still only one 538kb file. That tells me that all sixteen pads are referencing the same file!

thank you

Idea for resampling: when playing back a sequence that you want to resample, play it and then press Capture. It should automatically resample that sequence (up to xx bars) at the current sampling settings and chuck it in the next free pad. That would make the process lightning quick.

It is nice to have dedicated hardware, but (in the US) the base iPad with 64GB of storage is $349, while the Note is $449.

It’s no longer the beta! It was released in the App Store yesterday

But can you use it with a cracked version of Live because you hate Ableton? 
Sure, but I already have a better phone and don’t need the tablet.
quick impression, build quality is great, probably the best feeling encoders I have used in a very long time. insanely easy to get something going, very smooth and easy workflow. doesn’t feel “beginner” at all. the sounds/presets are fantastic and the effects are great. yes, you will be able to ambient very easily, the reverb can very much do that ambient long decay type reverb everyone loves.
I opened the box very carefully because I planned on returning it, after 20 minutes or so, I stored the box away and plan on keeping it. does not feel like a “circuit pro” to me at all, feels like its own thing. reminds me of an op-z workflow a bit. for those that are analyzing this thing to death, enjoy it for what it is and you’ll dig it. its a very fun groovebox and thats all that matters to me. if they continue to update it and add more it will be even better, but as of now its fine as is.
I used it to control live and it worked as expected. nothing crazy to share on that side, I only used it with live for a few minutes but it worked similar to a push, all buttons were mapped and I loaded a wavetable instance and was able to control its parameters with the encoders.
