Standalone groovebox and Live controller
Make a sketch on Move, then take it further in Ableton Live.
Create with Move’s four flexible tracks, 32 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, step sequencer and built-in sounds. Sample through the built-in microphone or audio input, shape sounds with onboard effects, and keep working away from a desk with its rechargeable battery and speaker. Connect by Wi-Fi to move Sets through Ableton Cloud, or connect Move to a computer for Live control and audio transfer. The included Live 12 Standard license is for a compatible computer; Move itself can also make music without one.
Make a complete sketch without a laptop.
Choose a track as a drum kit, sampler or synthesizer, build patterns and combine clips in Session Mode. Each track can use up to two effects.
Play beats, notes and clips with polyphonic aftertouch.
Move has 32 velocity-sensitive, backlit pads with polyphonic aftertouch plus 16 multifunction buttons for sequencing and quick performance controls.
Continue your Set on a computer.

FLEXIBLE TRACKS
Choose drums, samples or synths for each track.
Build a four-track idea with drum kits, samples and instruments, then record and sequence patterns. Move’s sound library includes over 1,500 sounds and presets.
SAMPLE AND SHAPE
Capture sounds with the built-in mic or audio input.
Record a quick sound, then trim, slice, add effects or resample what is already playing. The 3.5 mm stereo input also accepts external audio sources.
PORTABLE CREATION
Create with a built-in speaker and rechargeable battery.
Move can run standalone with its built-in speaker, microphone and rechargeable battery. Use headphones or external speakers through the stereo output when you need private or room listening.
MOVE + LIVE 12 STANDARD
A small instrument.
A big place to start.
Make a beat on the sofa. Sample a sound on the way home. Build a melody before it slips away. Then take the idea into Live 12 Standard and turn it into a finished track.

Less setup. More music.
Built-in sounds, a speaker and a rechargeable battery let you start without a computer. Four flexible tracks keep the first idea focused.
Play it. Sample it.
Tap drums and melodies across 32 velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch. Capture your surroundings with the built-in mic and shape your sounds with the encoders.
