You can now use USB-C as an input source for sampling on Move. This allows you to sample the audio from a connected computer, smartphone, or tablet. For example, you can play a song on your phone and record the audio into a drum pad on Move. Or, you can play a synth on your tablet and record the audio into the Melodic Sampler.
To sample audio from a device, it must be connected to Move via its USB-C port. Devices with USB-C ports typically work with a USB-C cable alone, while phones or tablets with a Lightning port require an adapter and must also be connected to a charger when sampling. You can read more about this in this Knowledge Base Article.
You can now solo tracks by pressing and holding the Shift and Mute buttons simultaneously and then pressing a track button.
Longer entries in the browser, such as sample or preset names, now scroll on the display so that the full name is visible.
When used as an audio interface, Move now defaults to outputting its internal microphone and line-in. Move's main output can still be selected in Setup; however, doing so will disable Move's speaker when a USB-C cable is connected.
Move now sends out polyphonic aftertouch when set to MIDI Out, which lets you play expressively when using external MIDI controllers.
A wider selection of presets is now used when creating a new Set.
Uploads to Ableton Cloud are now faster.
Triggered one shot samples and long release note phases now stop when playback stops and when clips are retriggered. Additionally, an “All Sound Off” MIDI message (CC 120) is sent to the MIDI output.
Fixed a crash that occurred when loading audio files with more than two channels.
Fixed a crash that occurred when successively loading certain Wavetable presets and then undoing those actions.
Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a Note Set with more than four tracks and then pressing Undo.
Fixed download issues with Cloud Sets that were created with a newer version of the Core Library.

It is now possible to send MIDI Sync (i.e., MIDI clock) out when Move is set to receive MIDI notes. This allows USB MIDI devices with internal sequencers and arpeggiators, such as Arturia Beatstep Pro, AKAI MPK Series, or Novation Launchkey series, to be synced to Move's clock, while allowing Move to be played from the device at the same time.
For USB MIDI devices capable of passing MIDI signals through, such as AKAI MPK Series, additional external gear can also be synced to Move’s clock. Such setups allow Move to act as the central clock source while retaining playability from the connected USB MIDI device.
MIDI Sync can be set to Send or Off through the MIDI entry in the Setup menu, both when Move is set to MIDI In and MIDI Out.

The new 16 Pitches layout allows you to play drum samples melodically using the 16 pads to the right of the Drum Rack pads. Press a Drum Rack pad, then use the pads on the right to play the selected sample at different pitches. Change the octave range for the available pitches with the plus and minus buttons.
The 16 Pitches layout is available in tracks that use Drums Track Presets. To use the layout, hold Shift and press Step 8.
You can now turn a chord into a sequence of individual notes with Arpeggiator. Hold Shift and press Step 11 to open the Repeat menu, then press and turn the wheel to select one from three different Arpeggiator styles: Arp Up, Arp Down, or Arp Random. When Arpeggiator is used on individual notes, they are repeated at the rate set in the Repeat menu.
Arpeggiator is only available when using melodic instruments.
Move can now be used as a control surface for Live, allowing you to work on your Live Sets in Move's Note Mode or launch clips and scenes in Move's Session Mode.
To use Control Live Mode, connect Move to your computer via a USB-C cable and open Live. Then, press Shift and Step 2 to open the Setup menu, and select the Control Live entry with the wheel.
It is now possible to select a hostname for accessing Move Manager instead of using the automatically assigned name, which allows you to distinguish your unit from others connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
