I got my new Ableton Move yesterday. The other one gets returned on Monday. So, for the short time I can do it, I put both of them on the floor, linked them together using Ableton Link, made a crappy complimentary sequence on both of them, and recorded this silly thing.

@BorrisInABox lol, considered getting one of those for my partner but wasn't sure how accessible the tools were particularly if you're on Mac but Windows. Very nifty though

@Tamasg @BorrisInABox I don't think it matters? The screen reader output is done via webpage ARIA Live Regions, so if you can get Mac to do that in a timely fashion, you're good to go as far as I know.

@twynn @BorrisInABox oooh yeah, I heard the 34-minute overview Onj did on it, quite impressive but also a bit steep from say, a standard stylophone or something much more simple like a synth/looping device as such. Although the flexibility of pads and track layouts being so easy to make are both tempting upsides so for sure considering them the more I hear of it, like that production too.

@Tamasg @twynn Speaking of the Stylophone:
I got one of those for Christmas a few years ago, and was disappointed to discover that it is not a true synth anymore like the originals. It now plays tiny little samples and has aliasing. BOOOOOO!

@Tamasg It doesn't matter too much, since the screen reader is currently web-based. It does work a little better out-of-the-box with Voiceover on either Mac or iOS compared to NVDA, but thanks to some code from @tspivey that makes interrupting of regions way, way nicer, I prefer using it with NVDA now. No idea how Jaws does it.
I tried it with Talkback/Google Chrome, and it's much less nice there.
