Move4Live – 4-Track Session Starter for Ableton Live & Push 3 Standalone
Posted: Fri May 08, 2026 5:59 pm
Hi,
Just in time for the update to version 12.4 of Ableton Live and Push 3 Standalone, I’ve released my free Max for Live device Move4Live v1.1, the 4-track session starter for Ableton Live.
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 Ableton Live 11/12. 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.
Starting with version 1.1, you can also set up automatically assignable MIDI input channels, so you can start jamming right away with your hardware sequencers or friends using multiple MIDI controllers sending MIDI data to their corresponding port.
It could just as well be called Move4Push now, since starting with Push 2.4, the device also runs on Push 3 Standalone.

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.
Thanks,
