. Once installed, this experimental alpha feature enables RNBO users to patch custom instruments and effects and export them to run on Ableton Move hardware.

For RNBO users, Move offers an amazing hardware platform for experimentation and prototyping instrument designs, featuring an 8 x 4 grid of pressure sensitive pads with RGB LEDs, 8 rotary encoders, MIDI I/O, stereo audio I/O, and numerous functional buttons. You can even draw custom graphics on the small display. 

RNBO Move Takeover provides a web-based interface where you can edit connections between multiple exported patches and fine-tune how the system works. This means you can create modular systems for Move that include separate sequencers, synths, effects, and more.

Note that RNBO Move Takeover does not work within the standard Move software. It is an alternative mode that entirely defines how the device should operate using RNBO exports. This also means that normal usage of the Move will be unaffected by RNBO, and you can easily switch between the two modes.

Learn more about RNBO Move Takeover features:

RNBO Move Takeover does not require an installation of Max or RNBO to run and edit graphs on the device, however 

 are required for development, authoring and exporting of patches.

We are interested in discovering what can be done with this feature along with the RNBO and Move communities. There are still many areas to improve as this feature solidifies and we engage with the ideas people bring to it. We hope that our many motivated and curious users will join us in exploring the possibilities and challenging our assumptions.

I could use a little help integrating either grooveduck or zero crossing faders into the phasor-based sample slicer in gen~. Ideally only a slight delay would be introduced to smooth out amplitude discontinuities. I'm much more comfortable programming in Max but I'm having a hard time with learning gen. I've been working at this for a long time but I'm hoping someone here has the knowledge and skill to do this in a few minutes.

A long time I played with capturing the stream from two audio waves with known wavelengths and drawing them as lines in real time. However, although they looked like mesh objects, I was unable to convert them to real mesh objects. That is, I could convert them to OpenGL mesh objects, but the resulting object has polygons in a spiral, whereas one really wants a blob-type mesh so that one can apply materials to the mesh object properly.

Thinking about it again recently, I realized I was going about it the wrong way. Instead of making a continuous line for each of the two audio sources separately, I should be stuffing each two synchronous values from the audio source into the same {x,y,z} mesh coordinate.

I started to figure out how to code it, but I'm not quite sure how to set individual mesh coordinates. I'd rather use a FOR LOOP in jit.gen I guess, processing say 512 samples from a stereo audio buffer for each video frame. But who exactly do I set individual mesh coordinates in an OpenGL mesh?

Hi, I'm pretty new to Max and enjoying it a lot but I've never been a programmer so there's a lot to wrap my head around. I am trying to build a step sequencer driven by tempo-locked phasor~, but I want the phasor shape to be "warped" by a function object, basically a tempo-synched complex modulation curve. I'm confident in my idea but I can't figure out how to make phasor~ drive the function, since it outputs a signal and function wants a float input. I imagine I need to use some sort of mediating buffer but I don't know enough to make that work. Any ideas, or examples I could look to? I haven't been able to find any. Thanks!

sorry if this has been previously addressed, I have searched but can't seem to find anywere that shows the solution

I'm wanting to create sustain with a physical modelling synth (if possible). This will be controlled by  a wind/breath pressure input from an interface through an Arduino. So I want the note to sustain for as long as there is breath pressure, or any other type of velocity from an interface being applied before releasing.

- I believe it might be possible by controlling how the [noise~] object can continuously/sustain producing sound input to the delay line?

I have attempted to try understanding how that might work, using [line~] - but haven't managed to crack it. Has anybody got tips or able to point me in the right direction to get the sustain I'm after? Will be to make a polysynth.

I've base my current patch on this YouTube tutorial"

I've always loved this device, but a glaring omission to me was the lack of a slider for swing amount (as you see on many other sequencer-based devices, like 

 from around that time). Now, I know this is awfully ambitious for someone whose only Max experience is popping the hoods on pre-existing devices, re-aligning text, adding new sliders or knobs and linking it to the live.banks object for Push mapping. I still don't have fundamental knowledge of how all the different objects work together. But without having to learn it all from scratch - what are the steps necessary to add a swing parameter to this thing's internal sequencer? Or where should I look to get the fundamental knowledge for that?

Here is the device with my "edit" so far - under the hood it's still unchanged.
