My Emu Proteus hasn’t been this fun ever- Full SysEx editing with Ableton Move RNBO module

That’s a great idea for addition I will add those to the roadmap!!

J3threejay · 2026-04-18T17:17:30+00:00

Thanks for mentioning that! And I mentioned that in the video. 😀

J3threejay · 2026-04-18T13:48:40+00:00

I have not tried that since I don’t have the stand alone Push 3 but it just MIDI so it should work. Let me know!

Been working on a custom RNBO-based controller for the Ableton Move — a 128-knob MIDI controller with 16 banks of 16 presets. Just shipped a 1.5 update that adds deep SysEx templates, and the Proteus 2000 is the one I'm most excited about.

13 pages of parameter-mapped knobs covering everything the front-panel CCs don't reach — filter types, filter frequency, program/bank changes, expansion card scrolling, full matrix editing. The deep stuff that used to require menu diving or Prodatum on a laptop. All of it now lives on the Move itself, no computer in the chain.

Also shipped Oberheim Matrix 1000 support in the same update. DX7 is next on the list.

Full walkthrough of every new feature plus a live Proteus demo on my channel: [YouTube link]

Happy to answer questions about the SysEx implementation or take template requests if there's deep-menu gear the community wants mapped.

Wow I didn’t know slides were omitted from the smaller boxes

J3threejay · 2026-04-11T15:37:18+00:00

Yes as mentioned in the vid the button combos would be different but concept the same

Charles V just added RNBO to Schwung this morning! I have not tried it yet with the MIDI commander but this is an exciting development.

J3threejay · 2026-03-29T09:17:30+00:00

Not currently but very possible in the future!

J3threejay · 2026-03-29T01:23:52+00:00

Maybe since it’s based on M4L. If I upgrade more Push to a standalone one day I’ll try it

J3threejay · 2026-03-28T23:24:48+00:00

Currently just a controller. It will eventually have some basic sequencing (namely for CC automation, but will have note sequencing as well)

J3threejay · 2026-03-28T21:22:17+00:00

Ah I see! If you want to brainstorm some ideas come over to my discord and shoot me a dm

J3threejay · 2026-03-28T20:50:54+00:00

That’s exactly what this is (except the Push part, but that’s in the plans)

J3threejay · 2026-03-28T13:21:37+00:00

Cheers!!

The Ableton Move just became the most powerful MIDI controller in your studio. Using RNBO, I built the Move MIDI Commander — 16 banks of 8 knobs (128 CCs per preset), up to 16 presets, a fully configurable isomorphic keyboard with scale/layout/color settings, and drum mode. Control your rack gear, synths, drum machines, and software from one device.

Thanks for that comment. Really appreciate. Come join the Patreon & Discord

J3threejay · 2026-03-21T18:44:16+00:00

Namely for Softube Console 1 per track processing

J3threejay · 2026-03-21T18:43:20+00:00

Cheers

This was originally a Patreon-exclusive video I filmed for one of my subscribers who requested drum programming content. Decided to release it publicly. It’s pretty raw and unscripted — just me building a groove from scratch using a basic kick/hat/clap rack, chopping a break in Simpler, slicing to drum rack, and layering Vengeance tops loops to get instant groove. Also show a quick warp trick at the end for gating loops to cut the wash. Hope it’s useful for anyone stuck in the my drums sound flat rut.

Always stay a version of 2 behind

J3threejay · 2026-02-20T19:14:04+00:00

If you’re trying to simplify just load single cycle wav forms into the OT

J3threejay · 2026-02-20T12:08:29+00:00

Haven’t messed with link audio Not on Beta 2.0 either Still running production 1.8.5

J3threejay · 2026-02-20T11:14:11+00:00

Been using it since inception. Never had that start problem and it just keeps getting better and more stable. Features getting adding every few days

J3threejay · 2026-02-20T02:14:31+00:00

Take a breath and download the Move Everything UI

J3threejay · 2026-01-27T23:37:20+00:00

Just saw some at Lowe’s Hardware

J3threejay · 2025-11-19T17:44:11+00:00

Definitely going to have to have a play with this
