I make "bespoke", a free open source modular synth — bespokesynth.com — principal designer at epic games/harmonix — he/him
there's a part of me that _likes_ having everything exposed and messy... but I've finally admitted to myself that it's impractical to stick to that ideal

and once I get this technical part out of the way, the actual "recreate the move workflow" part can begin!

I'm using the move's "control live" mode, and having bespoke pretend to be live. much of the "control live" mode works very similarly to push 2, so I'm able to leverage a lot of the push 2 API that ableton generously released on github, and just need to adapt a few things to work with move instead.

I really love the move hardware and workflow, but (as is my way) I really want the ability to push it a little further add my own features. my goal is to recreate much of the move's functionality within bespoke, paired with bespoke on a steam deck, to make a mini music-making station.

...and it's pretty similar in many ways. the display format for the screen is pretty wild though. once I get further along, the code for this will go up on bespoke's github as well.

I'm using the public push 2 API (github.com/Ableton/push... and github.com/Ableton/push...) which was mindblowingly awesome of them to release, and then doing some reverse engineering from there. I've got a head start since I already wrote bespoke's push2 integration (github.com/BespokeSynth...) ...

there's so much I want to do with bespoke, and so few decades left to achieve it!

sweet! I plugged the push 2 into the steam deck, and the integration with bespoke works out of the box, I didn't have to fix anything!

how did I find the time to put out a new release of my open source project during the height of the christmas season, you ask? why, I simply contracted a rare influenza-A strain and have been living in my basement in quarantine, which is a pretty effective way to clear your calendar.
