Move Everything hacks Ableton Move for custom devices -- and accessibility:

https://cdm.link/move-everything-accessibility/

It's crazy how much this can do -- custom synths, effects, display and web streaming and sampling, and controllers.

But I don't want to bury the lede: on-device screenreader support is a major breakthrough for blind and partially sighted users. And let's hope it starts a trend. Thanks @FreakyFwoof !!

@pkirn @zl2tod @FreakyFwoof @JonathanMosen It’s important to me that the original Move Anything project be credited too - I’m just one guy, but building on the backs of many amazing work before me: https://github.com/bobbydigitales/move-anything

Beyond that, the screen reader shortcut has changed, there are new modules (Vocoder! Access Virus! Rex Player!), but that’s all very dynamic. We’re having fun. :)

@charlesv @zl2tod @FreakyFwoof @JonathanMosen I fixed those credits, too! (I think -- how was Move - Extended related to Move Anything?)

Think I got extra confused by your git repo being named "anything" but it makes sense if it was forked! (and the nomenclature generally makes sense!)

Flashbacks to an ancient project by Hans-Christoph Steiner dubbed PD Anywhere (PDa) ... it had integer support to run Pure Data on iPods and vintage smart devices.

@pkirn we’re all in a hacker discord together, back from when extending move started. There was some work to get the M8 launchpad Pro emulator working that works by killing the move and re-launching a new process. Everything just extends that to run code in the same process as the move binary and then all of the techniques to get access to the midi sound and screen. I wouldn’t have got there without them! And yes, branding is a challenge. And yes, branding is a challenge 🥴
