Move

Move is a standalone music-making tool that’s ready to use on its own, right out of the box. No additional purchase is required. Move also comes with Ableton Live 12 Intro, so you can load Sets created on Move into Live on your computer.

Move has one USB-C port, which can be used for charging with the power supply, or for transferring data and controlling Ableton Live on your computer. Charge is maintained while connected to a computer, if the computer’s USB-C port supplies sufficient power. Learn more about charging.

Yes, you can use Move to control Ableton Live by connecting it to your computer via USB-C. In most cases, Live will automatically configure Move as a control surface, so you can begin using it immediately. For more information, visit Control Live Mode in the Move user manual.

You can record audio samples directly into Move using the built-in microphone or stereo line input – then play and process them with Drum Sampler and Melodic Sampler devices. For tutorials on Move’s sampling capabilities and other features, visit Learn Move.

Packs cannot be used on Move, but samples from your Live Sets can be transferred to Move by creating custom Drum Racks and presets in Live. Learn more about Sets on Move.

Move is designed for portability and immediate music-making. Move’s processor is optimized for working with four-track Sets. By transferring Sets created on Move to Ableton Live, you can take them into the refinement, editing, and finishing stages, as well as adding complexity and additional tracks.

If you decide Move isn’t for you, you can return it within 30 days for a refund. For refund policies and conditions, please view Ableton’s Refund Policy.
