RNBO Move Takeover Experimental Alpha 1.4.3-alpha.1 Released
We're happy to announce that RNBO Move Takeover mode is now available for RNBO and Ableton Move. 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.

RNBO Move Takeover does not require an installation of Max or RNBO to run and edit graphs on the device, however Max 9.1.3+ and RNBO 1.4.3+ are required for development, authoring and exporting of patches.
Public Experimental Alpha
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.
