When in Chromatic note mode can I adjust the position of the scale so the tonic is wherever I want it? So for example in C major the C would start on lowest pad.
I know I can do this on Push but I don’t see it in Move manual?
So bloated again.
Just want to be sure of all things before I expel the gas one way or another.
I still don’t understand why GC doesn’t have these …. Like I would go pick one up if they had them stocked man
Weird move not to give the biggest B&M music store the product to move it …
(Maybe due to keeping it under wraps?)
And I for one, am not holding off just because it doesn’t control note (my thing was having the encoders and stuff correspond in a controller fashion; and also being able to edit the midi in Notes of what is being “played” on the move ; iOW editing ability)
At the same time, I gotta PC (Mac ofc) so maybe it’s time I stopped being afraid of Ableton live
But I do appreciate your input feedback and thoughts. @Tarekith particularly, to me, you da hw guru man so I usually follow your lead (op-z, op-1f, etc purchased largely from your videos) esp with new products so thanks for taking the time to explore the hardware and being honest in your reviews
👍
I flipped
Did it!
This video sold me the Move
Today my kids played 2 hours with Ableton Move.
After that, I spent 1 hour moure resampling and playing with my kids sessions.
They love this little machine.
That’s a compelling video. I began my return for the op-z but I just realized I’ll get a refund, as a gift card to guitar center I think anyway (?)
And they don’t sell moves at GC….so I would need to wait maybe they will , sooner or later
They sell push 3 so idk why they don’t
I checked with them like three times on the phone e
Only sweetwater had them
For any of you that might be interested I’ve been sequencing my iPad from move using the nektar WIDIflex usb dongle, class compliant so it plugs straight in and works with very low latency, you can use the built in arp, note repeat, scales etc. and I’ve tried mapping a drum track to beat makers pads which works as expected..
Grooving today:
Nice. Enjoy!
I’d love to know more about your workflow. I still haven’t had much luck trying to use move as a midi controller for the iPad.
There’s not a massive amount to tell fella really, mostly I’m using move to sequence iPad synths and sample them back into move, just a neat way to expand the palette of sound available, the beat maker thing was just a test on my part to see if it was possible to map the pads from a move drum rack which work just fine, so there it is, hopefully they’ll expand the midi so we can use more than one track and more than one midi channel..
I mean the guy is kinda repetitive. I don’t really think some of the things are like super terrible. Surprised about the resampling “limitation” though. I thought another video said the opposite…(that you can keep resampling to add additional fx?). What do you take away from this?
And do you think some of these things can be resolved/changed in fw? (Like USB C)
I’ll have to watch and check about the resampling thing but…
A lot of people making videos about the Move who have almost no clue about it. 😂
I feel like Ableton gotta be laughing their arses off at some of the critics.
Edit: Ok yeah, this guy is just mad that the machine won’t bend to him regarding the resampling. People always expect every feature just because other machines have it. I kinda think these dudes make the same hip hop beat over and over and while I get the satisfaction in that, not everything has to MPC bro.
Using Move's Step sequencer to add notes in Ableton is my new favourite thing.
I think adding things in firmware is a given, as Ableton have already said they have a road map of additions (sorry can't remember where I saw it). What they have ideas on is anyone's guess.
My favorite device (the SP404mk2) is unrecognisable to when it was released. The last firmware 4.04 was that amazing I'm thinking of buying a second one!
My take would be, if you use Ableton, buying the move at its price is a no brainer. If like myself you have a SP404mk2, a Circuit Rhythm and have an MC101 on the way, I would probably wait and see what updates bring to the party.
I'm pretty sure Ableton will give the Move some decent upgrades if it sells well - which I'm sure it will.
In a strange turn of events, I’m getting the exact amount needed to buy a move for the broken op-z from my insurance
(…if I didn’t have an op-1f on the way back [and a ko2] I would already be ordering the move but now I’m hesitating…my hesitancy with buying stuff is always pre buyers remorse)
The move would be cool though…
Has anyone suss out if there is a way to latch pads while using an arp?
I dig this dudes 'robot doing a bad Christopher Walken impression' vibe.
He has great videos, good musician too.
Workflow question…
Based on specs it looks like it has class compliant audio… but there’s some weasel words around the claim in the specs.
Sooooo… Is it possible to send audio FROM the iPad into move to sample? And can you record audio out of move into the iPad?
Not from iPad to the Move over USB afaik. You can record audio out of Move into the iPad and you have the Move stereo line in too so it is functional as a basic audio interface.
From Ipad to the Move would be dope, but as it is I think the Move is already much better as an interface say compared to the small Roland Aira boxes.
I like this thing, even as a non ableton user. Gonna buy it later most probably. Would be nice if operator will find it‘s way to move. The FM Synth is much easier on the cpu than wavetable i assume?
This video is fantastic
I mean it’s hilarious, honest, and informative
The guys not bad at all
I was looking at this as an op-z replacement but it seems like it’s a lot of menu diving ? And he makes it seem like the screen isn’t enough info sometimes . I didn’t like the op/z needed the iOS app to see what was going on. But how intuitive did non Ableton users find this?
The one thing I thought might be difficult about incorporating Move into my main workflows was midi sync with Loopy Pro, as LP is the master clock in most cases. Ideally Move sending midi, so getting clock was maybe a pain. To my chagrin Loopy Pro still as master(Ethernet midi through Bomebox) connected to another iPad and QC + more pedals all synced, then Move over WiFi to main Loopy iPad with Link.
Blammo two “masters” move and LP, everyone synced and happy. @SpookyZoo enjoying indeed!
LP as usual amazes and with Move in tow, just yowza!
There’s really not a ton of menu diving, most of what you’ll ever need to access is only 1 or 2 layers deep. The most you’ll probably use it for is just selecting presets or effects types, or seeing what the knobs are assigned to. But those assignments pop up the second you touch a knob which makes it easy. There’s definitely still some button combinations to learn to get the most out of it too, but the main workflow is pretty intuitive and easy to grok by watching some of the better reviews. I think Ricky Tinez does a good job of breaking things down on that front in real world uses.
Not sure I would really consider it a replacement for the OP-Z, don’t let the round step sequencer buttons fool you. Move doesn’t have any sort of step components, which are a huge part of what makes the OP-Z so special.
Crazy I was messaging you at the same time. Minds in sync - TE effect lol
Ok, yes, I guess the step components on the op-z are what make it totally unique in the gear world.
Ok I’ll rewatch the Tinez video then….
He has a few now, watch them all.
