create my own Drift presets for Move

Post by StefanS59 » Sun Oct 27, 2024 7:44 am

After an inspiration by this video:
https://youtu.be/gthvyGpTxVQ?si=rWvPnYq71a5jq5Zo

I tried to create my own Drift presets in Live and upload them to Move - with only some success.

First I didn't manage tp find any Templates on the Ableton site, so I took a Drift preset from one of my sets in the could as preset.

Works quite fine, I can tweak the parameters to my liking and assign those 8 macros I find most important.

But - when I upload the preset to Move, only sometimes the names of the macros are on the display when I touch the knob, for some presets this isn't the case.
FrenchTown Media had the same problem in the video.

Currently I can't tell what is the difference between those presets that work fine and those that don't, but I obiously would like to understand!

If anyone has an idea or the answer, please let us know!

I will continue testing and keep you updated if I learn something new.

In case there is some more information and tipps on how to create custom presets for the Move, please let me know too!

Update:

I just found this incredible detailed and useful page by Marc Mosher which contains all the details I seem to be missing:

Update:

Interestingly, in this FAQ article Ableton says it's NOT possbible to display the macro names:
https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/artic ... ts-on-Move

But, apparently this is not true.
I downloaded their Template for drift and made some changes, the macro names ARE displayed on the Move.

I am using the latest Beta of Live 12.1.5b2
