day 7: An attempt at doing Drum and Bass on Move. A groove in F Minor at 174 BPM. Only stock samples used.

00:00/01:10

@FreakyFwoof This sounds groovy. As an aside, I had no idea what move was until I saw this and looked it up. Sounds cool!

@fireborn
Well here's your next sort of impulse-buy. Trust me, you want this. Right now. Right right now.

- Let's Move! (Ableton Move Accessibility Overview) youtu.be/p8IbinbOhY4

@FreakyFwoof Yup. I want this. right right now.

@FreakyFwoof I'm guessing I *don't* need a computer to use the accessibility either, a phone would work?

Andre Louis

@fireborn Oh yes. I only used a computer so OBS could show what the screen-reader page was talking about.

@FreakyFwoof So cool that all of the samples are on device.

@fireborn Yeah, but you can add lots of your own too. It ships with 64 GB of internal storage. It's non-removable and you upload using it's web-based move manager, but at least you can.

@fireborn If you look through the uploads, you'll hear stuff that Patrick, Kara and Jakob have also done. Some of those contain external samples. Yesterday I did one using samples from a Perkins Brailler for example.

@FreakyFwoof I saw that! This looks super fun. Depending on how early I can get one I might end up posting to the tag.

@fireborn I believe they're in stock, they had sold out very, very quickly a few months ago.

@FreakyFwoof Guessing this is just an order direct deal?

@fireborn I think so. Perhaps your local music shop will have it too, but not sure.

@FreakyFwoof @fireborn When I went looking, it seemed like you could only buy direct from Ableton in Europe. Sweetwater was the exclusive dealer in the United States. Not sure if that's still the case.

@FreakyFwoof I have ordered. I'm playing with note until the Move arrives :D

@fireborn @FreakyFwoof Oh look. Onj does the salesman thing again.

@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof Yup. I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to use it while traveling, I guess it's just a case of learn the menus over time

@fireborn @FreakyFwoof Get it connected to your phone's access point/personal hotspot. Plug your phone into the line input of the Move. Monitor both with headphones. Everything talks, woohoo.

@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof Oh so the headphones would go into the move. got it! I'm super excited for this.

@fireborn @FreakyFwoof Yep. Whatever is on the line input is passed through to the output jack, unless you are using the resample function, which... yeah, I do that a lot. Haven't done that while on the go yet, though, so I'll figure that one out when I get to that point, I guess. Braille display?

@remixman @FreakyFwoof @fireborn Back in October, I recorded a bunch of samples (62 of them or something) of a Perkins making various noises. I made my own silly thing with it back then. Maybe I'll make that a Movuary in the future, but to keep with my personal standard, it needs additions and modifications before I will personally allow that.

@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @fireborn So where can you find these insane Braillewriter samples? Or are they not available anywhere?

@BorrisInABox @FreakyFwoof @fireborn Eh. Looks to be corrupt, even after a few tries. Ah well.

@remixman @FreakyFwoof @fireborn I just downloaded it again, and it seems to work fine here. What are you opening it with?

@remixman @BorrisInABox @fireborn I got it downloaded and extracted the very first time I did it. What browser/OS are you using? Try another. Try wget or something.

@remixman @BorrisInABox @fireborn Are you extracting with Archive utility? If so, don't. Use The Unarchiver. It's far superior where 7zip is concerned. Free from AppStore. I believe you're a Mac user, so probably it. If it's windows explorer in win 11, 7zip support is still new, maybe broken. I mean it is windows after all.

@FreakyFwoof @BorrisInABox @fireborn Yeah I was using the latter. That thing is pretty cool. Eh, idk. It ended up working after a reboot. How'd you even record all this? This is insane.

@remixman @FreakyFwoof @fireborn I put a microphone on a stand, a Perkins braille writer on a table, hit record and made noises.
