Ableton Move

With a simple workflow, portable design and a core library of over 1500 sounds

and instrument presets, Move lowers the barrier to getting started on a new

idea. Move comes with 32 polyphonic aftertouch pads, a 16-step sequencer

and an in-built microphone and speaker. It integrates effortlessly with Ableton

Live software, so you can start ideas on Move and finish them in Live.

Create faster than you can overthink

Start fast and keep the momentum going. Assign Move’s four flexible tracks as

drum kits, samplers or instruments, or turn drum hits into melodies with the 16-

pitches drum layout*. A microphone, 3.5mm line-in and built-in speaker make it

perfect for quick sampling and making music on the go. And Move’s battery

provides up to four hours of use on a single charge.

Ready to play

Move uses many of the same instruments and effects that power Ableton Live.

Its core library is easy to access and tweak, and contains samples, presets and

drum hits from Ableton’s sound design team, plus special collaborations with

BNYX, DECAP, L.Dre, Sound Oracle and more.

You can use eight built-in audio effects, including a reverb, delay and saturator

to bring depth and texture to Move’s output. Apply up to two effects per track,

plus two on Move’s master output.

Tactile control

Shape sounds with nine touch-sensitive, endless rotary encoders, and play

notes, beats, samples, and clips with 32 backlit pads. Each pad responds to

pressure independently, letting you add more movement to your tracks.

Play now, refine later

Create, rework and combine ideas, then head to Live to add finishing touches.

Wi-Fi connectivity means you can easily transfer Sets to Live and Note with

Ableton Cloud and Move Manager.

Move’s tight integration with Live’s interface and workflow also makes it the

ultimate compact control surface for Ableton Live.

Ableton Live Intro included

Move comes with Ableton Live 12.1, which introduces the new pitch correction

and harmonization feature Auto Shift, compact sample player Drum Sampler,

sound auto-tagging and more.

*Available with Move 1.1 software update on day of release.

Key Features

Standalone operation. Move’s compact size, diverse sound library and

rechargeable battery – plus a built-in processor, speaker and microphone –

means you take it anywhere to make music.

Four flexible tracks. Use any or all of Move's four tracks as a drum kit,

sampler or synthesizer, and add up to two effects to each one.

Note Mode. Make beats with a 16-pad layout for drum performance and

sequencing, or use the melodic layout to create melodies and chords across

multiple octaves, and in dozens of keys and scales.

Session Mode. Use Move’s pads to create, edit and trigger clips, and mix and

match musical ideas quickly.

16 pitches for drums*. 16 Pitches lets you play your drums and one-shots

melodically, triggering selected drum sounds at different pitches and across

multiple octaves.

Sampling and resampling. Sample your environment with Move’s

microphone or 3.5 mm audio input, and use your recordings to make new

beats and melodies. Or internally resample the main output of Move.

Parameter automation. Tweak the encoders to record or capture dynamic

changes to your sounds in real time, and sequence parameter changes using

per-step automation.

Step sequencer. Program beats and notes with a 16-step sequencer, apply

quantization or groove to tighten your timing or add swing, edit velocities,

nudge notes and automate parameters for each step.

Capture. If you played something you liked but weren't recording, press the

Capture button and Move will recall your performance. This also works for

parameter automation.

Arpeggiator* and Repeat.

Turn a chord into an automated sequence of

individual notes with Arpeggiator, or use Repeat to trigger a series of rapidly

repeating notes or beats with the press of a pad.

*Available with Move 1.1 software update on day of release.
