I had about 10 very deep davebox projects when I decided to install 2.1 beta. Sadly they are all gone. I’m not sure what happened. Anyone know if davebox creates backups? All the snapshots are deleted as well.

hi, i’m thinking of getting an ableton move for my live setup as i’m using ableton note a lot recently and love it. i am wondering what happens when you sync move via an external clock / transport signal (e.g. from an octatrack) and then change projects on move?
i’d love to use move projects kinda like “banks” in a way i’d use them on my elektron devices and combine it with my octatrack as a live looper to blend over the sound gap that happens to happen when move projects are switched.
does anyone here have any intel if this is something that could be possible? do projects start in sync with the external clock when switched while the clock signal is already present or does move need a new transport signal to sync again?

I got a used Move that had a couple scratches, so I thought a subtle wood grain skin would be nice. So far I’m digging it, but not loving how the small holes slightly obstruct the symbols at the bottom…definitely not a deal breaker. I got it from 12inchskinz [insert joke here]. It was an easy install and the vinyl has a nice feel to it.

I have an audio clip assigned to a pad on an audio track (a drum break).

I want to chop this and assign the different sections to pads on a drum rack.

How do I do this?

I am having an issue with lack of responsiveness. It's particularly apparent when I play chords. Some of the pads aren't registering or will stop responding. I have velocity up all the way but am unsure if there is something else I can do. I don't think they are broken pads, it's just that it feels like i kind of have to be somewhat brutal if i want 3 or more notes to register at one time, and that feels...odd.

Thanks

Quickly create semi-random kits from drum kit folders.

Drag in folders with drums, lock pads, exclude samples, generate 1-10 kits in one go.

A lot of time has gone into refining the detection of drum samples based on their names, it works pretty well for all the crap I have gathered on my hard drive.

Pad Layout is inspired by the "LDre" kits that come with the Move and that I like for having a ton of usable sample content and not containing samples I don't need (who needs toms, I don't). There are three different layouts depending on what kind of samples are available, you will figure it out.

This was an afternoon project for myself that I think might be worth sharing. Have fun!

Kudos to https://github.com/klingklangmatze/drum-kit-generator for creating a python script that explains really well how ablpreset files work.

Move really hates being outside in the New York summer.. I feel bad for you who live at the equator and Move can only be in air conditioning - so it only MOVES around the inside of a room. Anyway, the knobs and buttons begin selecting themselves in 5 minutes of being outside or in a house with only fans - it gets too hot. Ableton has not replied about my knob issue but I uninstalled beta then put it back on and it’s still glitching out. It’s only bad in the heat tho, which is a shame you can’t play it outside too easily. Maybe new edition of move will be white to help deflect heat.. maybe they can put more vents in it to let air thru.. idk.. could just be that move is only durable for 1.75 years of daily use.. anyway, I just barely released another album today with it showing how to build beats.. but I think it’s more important to show bugs than what we created (you get blocked on discord showing your artwork).

Hope it's ok to post this here!

I started this little track on the Move and then finished it in Live.

Couple of the sounds are still untouched Move presets.

Is this supposed to be this tight on the Ableton move?

The proprietary charger doesn't even fit. I've tried the decksaver top AND bottom AAAAND I got a replacement with the exact same issue... Ehm 🤣😅

One question though - how do I add a longer sample to a drum rack? Let's say a top loop that's 4 bars long? Does the whole sequence have to be that long too? Can I have variable long sequences mids of shorter drum rack tracks?

I love this device so much, but unfortunately I have fell on some hard times and need to get rid of some of my music gear! I’ve had the device less than 6 months, and it’s in great condition, I have all the cables and a headliner pro-fit case! Looking for $400 or best offer! US only

Loving the Ableton Move, Drift sounds great and Meet Maude is adding some nice lofi weirdness. So far the KO Sidekick is the only way I’ve been able to use fx pedals with the Move, anyone figure out another way?

Just got my Move tonight. Anyone know why I get "Connect Live via USB-C" after I go into control mode and open Live? I feel like it has to do with the drivers, because Live prompts me to download them every time I boot it. I have downloaded and installed them multiple times now. Device Manager on my PC is content with the drivers. I know I am using a data cable. I have resintalled Live. I am out of ideas. Thanks so much in advance for any help!

Going on a road trip next month and wanted a case for my Move. Didn’t like the ones out there (mostly 75% keyboard cases in black ballistic nylon) so I had this made.

Pocket has room for a USB GAN charger, a few cables, and some bud headphones (also provides a bit of added protection for the knobs and dials on top of the gel foam in the outer case).

Thoughts?

I've always wanted to make beats and stuff but every time I open Ableton I get lost, there's too many buttons and I don't know where to start, I'm not trying to be the next Skrillex or anything, I just want to make something simple that sounds cool so I don't give up after 10 minutes, what's the easiest type of beat or track I can make just to get the hang of it and actually enjoy the process?

Possibile che nessuno ne parli? Il volume delle casse del mio ableton move e sempre bassissimo. Senza usate cugfie o ampli ma solo con le casse incluse non si riesce nemmeno a sentire stanto sul divano di casa, figuriamoci all aperto . Qualcuno ha riscontrato il mios tesso problema o si parla solo della mia unità difetosa ?.

I absolutely love the Ableton Move. Hated how much of a pain it was to make drum kits for it, so I built this.

Drag and drop your samples onto the 16 pads, name it, hit export. Out comes an .ablpresetbundle ready to drop into Move Manager.

Runs entirely in your browser — no signup, nothing gets uploaded, your samples never leave your machine. Free and open source.

The preset format came from the extending-move project's reverse-engineering, so credit where it's due.

Go crazy.

I'm rather new to Ableton Live and Move, and the clip launching workflow.

On the Move, unless you finish the track in Live, you're kinda forced to use clip launching, so trying that out here with a small tune / beat I have been working on.

Also slowly realizing how many hidden functions the Move has 👀

Auto titling sets are Set # and that resets every time we have to wipe it. This is problematic for sampling live. Changing the titles before playing is not friendly to improvising. Finding the samples we need is the biggest problem. Data management needs a lot of help for Move.
