Description

The Ableton Move gets one thing exactly right: the moment you start a new set, you can just play. Four randomly chosen instruments, no setup, no “where do I even begin?” – you're making music immediately instead of making decisions.

Move4Live brings that idea to the Ableton Push 3 Standalone (NEW in v1.1) and Ableton Live 11/12 Suite on the desktop. One button. Four ready-to-play tracks – e.g. Drums, Bass, Pad, Synth Keys – with randomly selected presets from your library. Add optional return tracks and a mastering chain modeled directly after the one the Ableton Move uses in every new set.

Move4Live is a one-person project and your feedback genuinely matters. I would love to hear about your experience, any bugs you have encountered, feature ideas – or especially whether you got it running on macOS.

IMPORTANT:

CURRENTLY, MAXFORLIVE.COM DOES NOT SUPPORT THE UPLOAD OF THE UPDATED ZIP FILE. THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO DIRECTLY DOWNLOAD THE V1.1.1 FROM MY WEBPAGE.
