Ideas do not wait for studio time, and this handheld instrument is built to keep up with them wherever they appear. With its built-in processor, speaker, microphone and rechargeable battery offering up to four hours of standalone use, it invites you to pick it up like an instrument and sketch full grooves, melodies and textures on the move.
Ableton Move combines 32 velocity-sensitive, backlit silicone pads with polyphonic aftertouch, a touch-sensitive clickable jog wheel, nine touch-sensitive endless encoders and 16 backlit multifunction buttons, giving you expressive performance control in a compact desktop form factor. Four flexible tracks let you program drum patterns, play synths or trigger samples, while a library of Ableton instruments, drum kits, effects like reverb, delay and Saturator, and over a thousand sounds provide a deep palette for fast, intuitive music making.
A bright OLED screen and the jog wheel make browsing sounds and tweaking parameters feel immediate, and the custom OS running on a quad‑core ARM Cortex‑A72 processor with 2 GB RAM keeps everything responsive. With 64 GB of internal storage, a 3.5 mm stereo input for sampling, a combined line/headphone output, USB-C for power and computer connection, and USB MIDI for external gear, Move is equally at home as a portable sketchpad or as a tightly integrated companion to Ableton Live. Built-in Wi‑Fi adds seamless Set transfer via Ableton Cloud and Move Manager, so your on-the-go ideas flow straight into your main sessions without breaking your creative stride.
