Can the Ableton Move Produce a Quantized 3/4 Swing Beat?

[@PHAN226]

Love the approach and style of this video. Super informative and no nonsense. Thanks for taking the time to show your process and how you are working around the move's limitations. It's cool to see everyone still figuring out this little box and pushing it to its limits (Ableton pun intended). Keep making great content is the only suggestion I have - no improvements needed. I watched to the end and started looking at some of your other vids. Sub'd.

Useful video and comments

Thank you.

Pretty smart workaround. Thank you!

You're welcome!

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions from your previous video. I really appreciate it. That was such a great performance, I just had to know more about it. Now I see that the root notes are replicated on the pad grid, and the Move's "chromatic pad layout" is unique. I'm used to the chromatic pad layout from the Circuit Tracks which resembles a piano keyboard, so that's why the Move's pad layout had me curious. Your musicianship in these videos is really refreshing because it adds so much more to the videos vs. a straight "gear review" that focuses solely on technical specs but doesn't show the gear off in a musical context. Thanks for all the effort you put in.

Thank you very much for your encouragement. Your comment makes the effort worth it!

I've made beats in 3/4 no problem. It detected with capture just fine. I figured it just worked

[@lectronin]

Thank you for watching and commenting with your experience. I would like to achieve a similar ease of experience with capture myself. One of the reasons I got the Move was to start experimenting with beat creation through performance capture as a new methodology. In the first video I put out, I used the capture method. I wanted to edit my performance, but found that I wasn’t able to quantize swing without changing my initial approach.

Thanks for this, liked and subscribed. I see you apply the amount of quantization you want after the fact, which I'm guessing means you can then compare the unquantized/quantized recording using undo and redo (if it has a redo). Also, can you alternatively set quantize before recording as you can on Circuits?

[@lectronin]

Thank you for subscribing and commenting. That is correct, you can compare quantized and unquantized Shift-undo is the redo. Unfortunately, there’s no record quantize

[@dzerobeatz]

you can stop you sample by adjusting your hold time for now. I believe they are working on a proper stop all sounds function.

[@lectronin]

I hope you’re right about the sample release.

How do we turn the metronome Volume up or down??

[@lectronin]

Thank you for commenting. I’m not aware of a way to change the volume of the metronome on the move. However, the alternate metronome I created in the video can be turned up or down by pressing the pad of the metronome replacement sample while adjusting the volume knob.

There's something really sad about the idea that this supposed musical device can't even support non 4/4 meter.

[@lectronin]

I agree that it would be nice if it supported it on a more native level, as Ableton Live can.
