Portable Music Creation

Ableton Move is designed to make capturing musical ideas quick and intuitive. Its compact format allows producers and musicians to create beats, melodies, bass lines, chord progressions, and arrangements without setting up a full studio.

Expressive 32-Pad Playing Surface

The 32 velocity-sensitive pads provide a flexible surface for playing drums, melodies, chords, and samples. Polyphonic aftertouch adds expressive control, allowing pressure-based modulation to be applied independently to individual notes.

Four-Track Workflow

Move provides four independent tracks for building musical ideas. Users can combine drums, instruments, samples, and other sounds into layered patterns and develop them into complete musical sketches directly from the hardware.

Built-In Sounds and Effects

Move includes a selection of built-in drum kits, instruments, samples, and effects designed for immediate music creation. Dedicated controls make it easy to adjust sounds, shape patterns, and experiment with different musical ideas without navigating complicated menus.

Sampling and Built-In Microphone

The integrated microphone makes it possible to capture sounds directly into Move. Users can sample vocals, instruments, environmental sounds, percussion, or other audio sources and incorporate those recordings into their productions.

Built-In Speaker

A built-in speaker allows users to hear ideas without connecting external monitors or headphones. This makes Move particularly convenient for creating music while traveling, working away from the studio, or quickly demonstrating musical ideas.

Wireless Connectivity

Move includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for integration with compatible devices and Ableton's wider ecosystem. Wireless capabilities provide convenient options for transferring projects, connecting compatible MIDI devices, and working with Ableton's software environment.

Ableton Live Integration

Move is designed to work alongside Ableton Live. Musical ideas created on Move can be transferred to Live for further editing, arranging, mixing, sound design, and production. This makes it possible to start a track away from the computer and continue developing it in a full desktop production environment.

Portable and Rechargeable

The rechargeable battery and compact design make Move suitable for mobile music production. It can be used for songwriting, beatmaking, rehearsals, travel, performance preparation, and spontaneous creative sessions without requiring a permanent studio setup.
