Ableton Move Tutorial: Drum Programming

[@Mac77ism]

Before I watched this video, I couldn’t produce at all. After I watched this, a Move appeared at my door. A record contract was duct taped to the box. I now have a Grammy. Thanks, Lenny!

😂 amazing work dude! 🙌

[@gavinpeters9531]

I was gonna complain that there are already tutorial videos for this, but then I read the comments and realised this one has mistakes too! Truly a gift unto the world.

[@mjlacourse5757]

Great tutorial!

[@SequenceOne]

Awesome, thanks for watching!

[@richarddiisiimo7347]

Great to see you doing your thing Lenny! 🙌🏽

[@SequenceOne]

Thanks! 🙏

[@smoketoad]

You should do a video like this for each track. Like a four part series.

[@SequenceOne]

Thanks, I will do this!

[@Ponchy]

Great stuff! Definitely loving the Move lately.

[@SequenceOne]

Awesome and thanks! What kind of music have you been making on the move?

[@GirlfightClub]

Saving this for when mine arrives. Thanks!

[@SequenceOne]

You're welcome and thanks for watching!

Nice and to the point-new subscriber!

Thanks! 🙏

Yesss. This is deep and amazing

[@SequenceOne]

Thank you!

@@SequenceOne let us know when the course is released!!

I was following along but for some reason I don't have a filter on Encoder 1 - My transpose is there instead.. Any ideas what I may have done to change these?

[@SequenceOne]

@@dj_pwnda Hi! Your setup is correct 👍 At the time of filming this I was on a previous firmware version where Transpose and Filter were in different locations. Ableton has changed it since then.

[@JohnPassfield]

Very cool. Although I think the latest firmware has moved the transpose function from the 3rd encoder to the 1st encoder.

[@SequenceOne]

This firmware has changed and thank you for pointing this out! To access the filter for a drum rack pad it is now in the "Filter & Setup Bank" This can be accessed by Shift+pressing the wheel down once, then turning wheel from "Main bank" to "Filter and Setup bank" Then the filter frequency is on encoder one. Hope that helps!

[@DavidZisa]

⁠@@SequenceOne I wish they kept the filter in the main page. In general they should come up with a better way of getting to the second page of controls. It’s super clunky!

[@stuntmanmadeit]

How do we turn up the volume on the metronome??

[@SequenceOne]

Hi! Unfortunately at this time this isn't possible in the current firmware. I was very surprised to find this out since this is a fundamental feature. I checked on it and there is a feature request in so hopefully we will see this fixed in a future update. A workaround for now would be to turn the individual tracks down by pressing and holding a track button and adjusting the main volume encoder to turn the tracks down relative to the metronome. Then turn up the main volume to compensate after turning the four tracks down. Not ideal but it should work. Hope that helps and I will send an update when this changes!

The link to the free project files is not going to free files :(

[@SequenceOne]

Hi Joe, I have fixed the broken link and it is good to go now. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing it and I will help out! Thanks for watching!

[@JoeDeMarie08]

@@SequenceOne Thank you, Lenny! Great class. 👍

[@inputsandoutputs]

I came to learn about the feel of the pads. Another unsuccessful attempt by me. Nice overview nonetheless. But why has no one mentioned the type of pads Move has? Is it Elektron Rytm stiff or NI Maschine smushy, or nearer MPC??

[@SequenceOne]

Hi! Sorry you couldn’t find the answer. I haven’t had experience with the gear you mentioned but I do have a Push 2 and I would say it’s similar to those pads. The Move pads are smaller so they feel slightly different than the Push 2. Hope that helps!

[@sebastianvega4576]

i think you needed to quantize after choosing the groove to apply it. it did not make an audible change the way you did it or am i getting deaf?

[@SequenceOne]

yes, it seems to have not applied in the video, doh! once you set the groove amount, press the wheel to confirm the change and return to the Device View. The groove icon will remain displayed beneath the seventh step button to indicate that a groove is being applied to the Set.
