Move integrates effortlessly with Ableton Live software, so ideas started on Move can be finished in Live.
Ableton has announced the release of Move, a new standalone instrument for capturing ideas whenever they appear. With a portable design, simple workflow and a core library of over 1500 sounds and instrument presets, Move lowers the barrier to getting started on a new idea. It comes with 32 polyphonic aftertouch pads, a 16-step sequencer and an in-built speaker and microphone.

Any or all of Move’s four flexible tracks can be turned into a drum kit, sampler or instrument in seconds – plus, a single drum hit can become another bassline or melody with the 16 pitches layout for drums*. Move’s microphone, 3.5mm line-in and built-in speaker make it perfect for sampling and making music on the go, and its 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. Eight built-in audio effects, including a reverb, delay and saturator, 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.
Live 12.1 is out now
Move comes with Live 12.1 Intro. Live 12.1 introduces the new pitch correction and harmonisation feature Auto Shift, compact sample player Drum Sampler, sound auto-tagging and more.
