There are a number of gesture tracking to MIDI apps out there such as MusiKraken, Handmate MIDI (browser based kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmqapWRthsR1mK8), GECO by Uwyn LLC (paid windows app) and others.

[@floflow1024]

As a community, we have to move away from superlatives like "game changer". Nothing has changed, these are just some new tools (and honestly, not all that exciting...)

[@Mediaright]

Buuut clicks.

[@musiclore]

What? Look at how people were doing it 200…or even 50 years ago. The tools have changed, music has changed based on popular tools, all that is game changing.

[@DerekPower]

I agree that the word is overused. However, if something changes your workflow or approach to an issue/problem, then it can be called a “game changer”. And even then, it’s a matter for debate/discussion =]

[@SanjayC]

@floflow1024 I agree. I try to use Gamechanger sparingly, and if you don’t agree, I’d like to hear from you. For me, the Roli Airwave is something that could really change what’s possible as a keyboardist.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

@@DerekPower Which neither of those tools have. Motion related controllers for MIDI are not a new idea and you can find it in several Roland keyboards for example.

[@mackie32x4]

Alesis made a similar device years ago where you floated your hand above it and it added effects. Also Roland D-beam controller as well. I guess this is more advanced.

[@WeAreROLI]

Hey, thanks for the message. The D Beam walked so we could run 🏃

[@PXTCHXS]

I got the ableton move and its amazing! Because, despite all its limitations it feels GREAT to play and its super portable. So, I take it on a long bike ride, then make a beat or two, then ride home. Its GREAT!

[@spectralknights2]

Can u control all synth parameters?

[@Nucl3arLiz4rd]

Hey Sanjay, would just like to say that I love your content and always look forward to seeing when you release a new video whether it’s weekly news or covering a product in depth. Keep doing what you’re doing. Much love ☺️

[@SanjayC]

Thanks a ton.

[@BryanVehonsky]

I say this as I'm waiting for my Move to get delivered today, but to me it looks like a device that solves all of my main frustrations with the OG Circuit and Tracks. Without a screen you could never really know what the macro knobs were changing on any given preset, and navigating synth presets especially was a really annoying. I'm looking forward to having a musical sketch pad again and the fact that you can then export back to Ableton proper to make a track more fully featured is great.

[@tlight901]

Looking forward to your review of Move. It would be very interesting to see how well it interacts with Ableton as a controller. All the reviewers so far have mentioned the controller functionality in passing but no-one has actually shown examples.

[@margaretchristo6859]

Sanjay C., I love your content and look forward to your videos every week. I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing. Waiting for your Black Friday video.

[@jacksp8de]

My on the go device of choice is a 14 inch MacBook Pro.

[@CalvinLimuel]

It used to be pen and paper. I have either a manuscript pad or a Moleskin notation book. But I keep forgetting to bring them, and as I bring my iPad Air more often, I'm trying to transition more to iPad apps like Dorico (useful since it's also my main desktop notation software) and StaffPad (one of the well-known ones for the handwriting feature). I don't really make beats on the go. I'd probably just use my voice notes for ideas.

[@MisguidedAndMaladjusted]

I bring my Macbook Pro and my Akai Mpk mini plus in my backpack everywhere I go. I have Native Instruments Komplete 14, soon to be 15, and Arturia's Pigments on it. So it gives me the ability to get any random idea out of my head wherever I find myself. I wish that we had this kind of technology back when I played in bands. I do enjoy the fact that I can make any type of music that my soul is feeling without any other human beings. Thank you for all the wonderful content SanJay.

[@jeffmukai]

Love your videos. Great content. Smooth delivery. And professionally well done. Speaking of Roli, I'd love to hear your take on the Lumi Keys. I know it's been out for a while and there are some other videos on it but I was curious as to what you thought of them. Thanks! See ya on the next vid

[@TannerByTheSea]

Dang, you got me scratching my head on this topline thing- I was waiting to see what you would say about that… $400 is straight up insane… i’ve got the two week free thing or whatever~ Because we have every other plug-in not combined 🙄.. I totally agree with you too on the note move. Very very interesting thank you Sanjay

[@phelper4554]

leap motion does the exact same thing for many many years what’s so game changing ???

[@rustyroy5385]

Leap motion may actually be better due to the form factor. The main thing with the Roli is just the ease of use with their own keyboards and software.

[@kozihoppy]

I love Ableton but I honestly don't see the advantage of the new Ableton Move against a Macbook with Live Suite and a controller like the Launchkey Mini MK4. Taking into account you already own the first two which most of us do, you'd end up saving $300 bucks. Answering the QOTW: Yes, that's my on the go setup.

[@DeeDeeCHAUNCEY]

Just would be nice to be able to get away from my laptop screen for a while

[@kozihoppy]

​@@DeeDeeCHAUNCEYI know but that trade off is not up to par with the features that a "Dawless" gear can give you at least not with this controller. I guess everyone was waiting for a sort of "Push Mini" Unfortunately this is not.

[@rajxp10]

Thank you sanjay❤

[@DougNak]

Got the Move to use as a controller and audio interface for my laptop. Works pretty well and it is great to have Push-like scale mode pads when needed. Oddly, it seems you can't control the audio interface volume. The Move's volume knob only adjusts Live's Main track volume. Hope they add a setting to change that. Also, the audio interface volume is much lower than the standalone volume.

[@Marco-ek8wu]

Hey not sure what laptop you have but on the Mac you need to go to audio settings and turn up the volume on the move audio device settings. That solved it for me. Oh and by the way on battery power with my MacBook the move really drains the battery as it’s charging. Launchpad is more efficient as a comparison. I’m really on the fence with my move. 4 tracks is too limiting in standalone.

[@DougNak]

@@Marco-ek8wu Thanks Marco! I'm on Windows, but there was a setting in the device settings. Of course, that's not really a convenient place to adjust volume. I really wish Move's volume knob controlled that. I mean, I think I never adjust the master volume.

[@naturalbornweakness]

Leap motion vs Airwave

[@DerekPower]

QOTW: Currently, my main studio is portable in that I use a laptop and a small audio interface. Thus I can take that “on the go”, albeit it’s a bit bulky. (And forget bringing the 32”display monitor). But I have made stuff and done stuff using my phone, which I then exported to my main setup. Audiomodern came out with Soundbox (I forget if you covered it earlier) and it’s garnering controversy due to its pricing model, price to features/quality and even how the company is reacting to it. Cherry Audio also came out with Atomika, based on the Polivoks synth, the Soviet synth made from 1982 to 1990. They’ve also been not quiet for the past few months 😉.

[@8bitretropro]

Where can I get that sweater that you got on? Links please

[@emmanuelvideo]

i just discovered your youtube channel!, its awesome, i'll be waiting for the move review

[@lundsweden]

Airwave just seems like and updated version of Roland's D-beam from 20 years ago (which you can still get on the A-49 MIDI keyboard controller.

[@FSK1138]

Roli Airwave .. remember the Roland dimension beam or the Alesis airsynth air fx

[@michael7018]

Cherri Audio is best for classic synth reproduction. Arturia is aggressively competing against a small boutique local company.

[@richiestarks609]

I do believe that Ableton has the means to upgrade Move to have more tracks.

[@rez9159]

I bought the iLouds for traveling a single speaker of the Adam DV3 has a weight of the iLoud Micro pair, the Adams are only an alternative if it's about space, not when it's about traveling with hand luggage. And even if the iLouds are rated at 55hz, in a lot of rooms they will play flat to 50 or even lower and the best thing my mixes translating well, even in the low end.

[@Doparmiin]

What kind of Microphone did you use to create this Video? Your Voice is awesome clear, but I don't see any Mic.

[@blousug]

Roli reminds me of a theremin. I’ve always wanted to play with one! 😊

[@LaidbackSounds]

There is already since 2017 a killer of the mtm by ik multimedia, they are the krk v4 s4 , best kept secret small speakers with the most accurate presentation and they are the pro line of krk

[@sorrentinedreammusic]

The Roli Airwave reminds me a lot of Jean-Michel Jarre's Laser Harp of the mid 70s - quite a bit safer tho' I'm guessing!! But why has it taken sooooo long to get here? And if you compare it to the original Theremin then we are looking 100 years or thereabouts!

[@morizanova]

making music on the go ? Always ! What device : Touchscreen laptop + custom made small midi controller :)

[@troycarson1]

Why wasn’t there built in mic and speaker in push 3 😓

[@Jean-Mi_Paradis]

Hello Sanjay, for your question of the week, I pair the Akai Force with a portable battery pack. It gives me about 5 to 7 hours pire standalone music création on the go! Thx!

[@MillisecondFalcon]

I watched a couple of videos about the Airwave and must not have been paying attention because, going by the form factor and gestures, I assumed it worked something like a Theremin. I was going to mention the ProxiMIDI you covered in your last video, in terms of a comparison of two Theremin style instruments, but I'm not actually sure if the ProxiMIDI works like a Theremin from a technical point of view. Either way, both instruments sound really good and I hope they sell well. Did you get any of the instruments from the expo for review?

[@johnnygarcia6359]

Looking forward to your Apollo gen 2 review. I use a focusrite currently and never made the transition to Apollo because of cost. Debating if now is the time for the move, but I don’t want to do it just for subtle sound improvements. I’m an electronic producer, and I only use my interface to record vocals. Interested in learning if this would take my vocals to the next level.

[@Clasam09]

The concensus I've heard that unless you're already really into the UAD ecosystem,, you can do better for less. Even then, it's a side grade in many ways (ie: DAC, DSP power is unchanged)

[@deedd4401]

my go to for portable fun was Caustic 3 ... strong emphasis on WAS .. coz it aint available in android store for newer devices no more

[@phatplates]

I used to love caustic 3. I think it was abandoned years ago though

[@KordTaylor]

❤ Nice overview. Yeah, I think Move is a nice play against the whole 404 / groovebox gang. The Roli reminds me of the Roland Beam controller. Cool for live gigs. But I think it’s off the mark in the implementation

[@AceeSoul]

The Move is meh. 299 price point is more realistic for what it is. Roli for 299, I may grab one. If nothing else, I could make some cool videos with it, but I'll try it at NAMM first.

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

Hah.. you made me LOL withyour comment on Topline pricing. I like the new Hype Meter rating. I was hoping you would cover UJAM’s new bass plugin Subcraft.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

I’ll be upgrading StudioOne for the new features. Looks pretty good. I tried SynthX from Arturia, and it is excellent. Btw, you missed Atomika from Cherry Audio, which is a very nice new synth based on the Polivoks.

[@EYECRAFTVideo]

can you do a rewview on the i73 ????????????????????????????

[@aemythjensen]

Ableton Move doesn't move me at all (pun intended)

[@kozihoppy]

@@aemythjensen Yeah what a bummer. I hope they get some feedback and make a more mature product by MK2.

[@Kris_jellybeard]

Sanjay, comparing to Note is useless because it's iPhone only... Android users never had any option to use this. I'm getting a Move because I do travel months every year (touring) so this will be great to get some ideas worked out during long flights, bus rides...

[@SonicVibe]

Solid thoughts on the Ableton move. And my favorite on the go device you asked, well pocket operator,woovebox,iPad,volca, circuit tracks maybe Roland SH-4d but the best portable music production device is the Dirtywave m8 🙇‍♂️ solid build quality sounds fantastic professional sounding. When you master the workflow it feels like a gameboy 😎 the downside is its a tracker pro for some people but it’s like making music on a excel spreadsheet. But from a non tracker perspective I can use it and get useable results.

[@Snowness]

Asus ROG ally for music on the go. 🤘 It has all my plugins, DAWs, full windows 11, and hardware support for my audio interface and midi controllers. 🤯

[@easyneal]

Really?? I've seen them and wondered how one would go for music production. Do you need to use a mouse or are the on board controls good enough for navigating?

[@lofomuses]

Hi Sanjay -- you asked... what do I use for making music 'on the go'? It used to be Ableton Live on my laptop (Macbook Pro M1). But Presonus just launched Studio One 7, and have incorporated clip launching/looping/scenes, making Ableton Live obsolete (for me). So, with my laptop and Studio One, I can do everything from loop-based creation to linear-based creation to full session development to mixing to mastering (Project Page) to live playing (Show Page). Yep -- maybe you should check it out! 🙂

[@duggepoguisaac5926]

yamaha seqtrak vs ableton move which is best?

[@fiftiefiftie]

my on the go sampler is the ko 2

[@FayyadhSmasher]

Is there reliable free music distribution service for spotify apple etc... ?

[@Simon-je7ko]

For now I'm using Noise from Roli. It's free and it's enough for me. I'm not using a daw for now. I'm just having fun and searching for ideas. Thanks for the video. I wish I could receive the Airwave for December. But I will receive it in April next year. I bought it on the first day of release. I was already on batch four. That's lame. Anything close to a daw for me is Sound Forge.

[@Drrolfski]

Charhging 400,- for a plugin is just asking to get pirated. Btw Loopcloud already offers tempo and key integration within DAWs so that Splice feature in Studio One is not a game changer. What IS new and interesting though is Splice's AI looking for similar sounds, but guess what? Ableton Live has that feature built in since version 12 as well. As for on the go: The only device that I actually take outside ánd finish tracks with is the MPC Live 2. It's really liberating, sitting on a bench overseeing the Amsterdam canals, while pumping out beats. It's clunky enough though, which is why I am interested in the more portable Move. Unfortunately, it's already sold out in EU. Compared to the Ableton Note and other inspiring touch apps like Koala Sampler: it's just a different experience compared to full standalone. And I find myself in need hooking up a midi controller to these apps which makes it a less portable and tactile experience than a dedicated device like the Ableton Move.

[@billbromer]

I use my Martin guitar and iRig to make music on the go.

[@Decranz-sb7pg]

Nothing game-changing for me, though. With respect for those who want these kinds of toys :) Happy Weekend!

[@mistergrooveman1018]

Hi sanjay your sweat shirt manga style is amazing , a link for this ??😂😂😂😂

[@theoremgeek]

i guess it's an expensive note alternative for android users :-) ... also handy responsive pads for finger drumming 😊

[@dragonstone6594]

Looking forward to iLoud vs D3V video.

[@anklesoncredentials]

I have a boring job, I make little beats on the m1 iPad Pro. I wish I had a MacBook, but I’d really be into a touch screen MacBook if they made one.

[@HeavyBeats24]

KORG gadget on iPad for on the go :)

[@stanleys.3959]

Ableton Move , it’s a small Push 2. So nothing new. But you want a small studio and add a other device, buy it !!!

[@MadelnMachines]

Roli D-Beam

[@peteraymond9968]

Question of the week ... No... I am glued to my PC and three 27" monitors and wouldn't have it any other way😊

[@d-zone]

Disagree about Roli, the company has gone bust once and their reputation for build quality isn't great.....Shame Move is so expensive and limited to just 4 tracks.....8/12/16 would have been better.

[@billbromer]

To increase subscribers would it help if you made some short instructional videos of the best new gear for making music. Like Rolli or Live 12.1 or ???

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I found out Nord do speakers, red speakers, they are expensive $999 aus...not sure if you have done a review on these yet...

[@sebastianvega4576]

i would enjoy the move, i am sure. but it is half the price of the push 3. i understand, these can do different things, but it seems too expensive compared to push 3 (which isnt exactly cheap either). for 300 euro i would think about getting one, at 450 it does not enough for me.

[@Drfresh1402]

Haven’t seen your wife in a while. Tell her I said hi. Lol. And hope all is well.

[@SanjayC]

@@Drfresh1402 Dharti says Hello back! And she wishes you well. She’s still recovering from the several surgeries she had this past year. Hopefully a few more months to go. Thanks for thinking of her.

[@StefanHolmes]

Arturia had a deal on to buy Synthx + V Collection x for 299. Bargain.

[@vewilli]

💪🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

Roli vision...doesn't seem like something that will stay around because it is to much in the way of everything else

[@louisik1]

Small recommendation: Less compression on your voice. It's a bit over the top.

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

ROLI will never get out of its niche market as long as they only cater to Apple users, which are still a minority. They're so entrenched they even use Pentalobe screws on their hardware. As per the Move, it's just their version of the Novation Circuit with some technology they copied from the Linnstrument. Also, that ROLI thing is just a more advanced version of the D-Beam thing Roland has in several of their keyboards.

[@WeAreROLI]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. At launch, we are only supporting MacOS; however, Windows support will be coming in 2025!

[@georgyj111111]

A medium priced speaker without room correction is pretty much useless.

[@furiobisotti8150]

I would consider Lumi if it was real size keys. This size reduction makes for me the device useless. I am sorry, they are extremely interesting. Now more than ever

[@MattRid]

So many game changing devices not many game changing music or sounds

[@Metagenome]

Nothing really new... the Move is more like a portable less capable Push. Roli has actually done it again... it released another gimmick device that everyone wants to try, some will buy and regret it later (especially because it is in front of the monitor).

[@TierHarribel]

I really wanted a new and better Lumi because the current Lumi feels like playing on a cheap toy.

[@WeAreROLI]

The Airwave gives superpowers to the Piano M (LUMI) 🦸‍♀

[@PatternMusic]

I think you are misunderstanding Move.

[@panagope]

No, i dont make music on the go , never. Only seriously made music in the home studio.

[@willmcelroy6376]

iPad Pro Logic

[@badh0mbr342]

As a former FL user, I’ll be honest…the Move looks like an Ableton only Akai Fire. What do you think, Sanjay?

[@ElNabulsi]

This is the first time in approx 10 years when I am completely disappointed by an Ableton product. It genuinely is supremely mediocre. I don't even think it is fit for live performance purposes Sanjay and the 4 tracks, will leave any producer stifled to create anything of real value. The SP404-MK2 would make for a better piece at this price point. At least the live EFX features in it could have a valued slot in one's live performance rig... I have been an Ableton user since 2010 and never have I ever imagined to be more intrigued / excited by a presonus release than an Ableton one. Oh well ...

4 tracks might lead to more creativity

[@SanjayC]

This is true. It’s a coin flip for me - more creativity or more frustration

[@marcotixxx]

as a longtime groovebox user, i can’t wait to get my hands on ableton’s OP-1 killer, but i’ll wait until the Bad Gear episode on it before i get one 😂 PS the screen doesn’t bother me, i’ve been working on a roland mc303 since the 90s.
