Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: Move4Live 1.0
Author: PantaFlux
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: The Ableton Move gets one thing exactly right: the moment you start a new set, you can just play. Four randomly chosen instruments, no setup, no “where do I even begin?” – you're making music immediately instead of making decisions.

Move4Live brings that idea to Ableton Live on the desktop. One button. Four ready-to-play tracks – e.g. Drums, Bass, Pad, Synth Keys – with randomly selected presets from your library. Add optional return tracks and a mastering chain modeled directly after the one the Ableton Move uses in every new set.

It started as a personal tool, built in the gaps of everyday life. Released because it might be useful for other musicians and bedroom producers too.



INSTRUMENT TRACKS
· Up to four tracks with freely chosen categories
· Random presets from your installed Ableton library
· Re-roll individual tracks without touching the rest

Cool device. Think it'd be hard to make an option so a channel can be locked or not touched/deleted when the pentagon is selected? For example, I always want to keep one channel and adding obviously, doesn't replace it, but adds (too many) new channels and replace also replaces that one channel which would be nice to keep in the set for various reasons.
