Ableton Move Portable Instrument with Built-in Mic & Speaker

Ableton Move transforms music creation into a truly portable experience, delivering professional-grade production capabilities in a compact, battery-powered device that fits in your backpack. This standalone instrument combines 32 polyphonic aftertouch pads with a 16-step sequencer, built-in microphone and speaker, creating an all-in-one solution for capturing musical ideas wherever inspiration strikes. With over 1,500 sounds and instrument presets drawn from Ableton’s acclaimed library, Move provides immediate access to high-quality samples and instruments without requiring a computer or additional software.

The device’s four flexible tracks can be configured as drum kits, samplers, or melodic instruments, while the innovative 16-pitches drum layout allows producers to transform rhythmic patterns into melodic sequences. Eight built-in audio effects including reverb, delay, and saturator provide instant sound manipulation, complemented by nine touch-sensitive rotary encoders that offer tactile control over parameters. The rechargeable battery delivers up to four hours of continuous operation, making Move ideal for studio sessions, live performances, or spontaneous creative moments.

Move seamlessly integrates with Ableton’s ecosystem through Wi-Fi connectivity and Ableton Cloud, enabling effortless transfer of projects to Live and Note for further development. The device doubles as a compact control surface for Ableton Live, extending its utility beyond standalone operation. Complete with 64GB internal storage, a 1.3" OLED display, and bundled Ableton Live 12.1 software featuring Auto Shift pitch correction, Move represents a comprehensive solution for modern music production workflows.

Move 2.0 is a free firmware update that adds audio tracks to the hardware for the first time. Record via the onboard microphone, 3.5 mm line-in, or USB-C, with integrated warping to decouple pitch from tempo on any captured material. Audio clips from the library can be loaded directly onto audio tracks, and Move's effects chain can be used for live monitoring of incoming signals—turning the unit into an FX processor for stage or studio use alongside internal clip playback. Auto Shift and Erosion from Live are now available as onboard effects. Link Audio streams individual tracks or the main output from Move to Live or Push Standalone over Wi-Fi in real time, with no hardware routing required.
