UNOFFICIAL FIRMWARENOT FROM ABLETON · COMMUNITY BUILDS
Community developers are writing their own firmware for the Move. This is everything we’ve found, checked every day. FW Radar doesn’t host these files and doesn’t send alerts for their versions: each link opens the developer’s page.

Schwung
by Charles Vestal
Formerly Move Everything: a framework that runs a Shadow UI next to the stock Move software, adding community synths, effects and tools from a module catalog, plus Song Mode, skipback recording and a quantized resampler, all managed from a web page.
Not approved or supported by Ableton. Back up sets and samples and learn DFU restore mode first. The author calls it a hack, not yet stable as a daily driver.
A framework for writing your own JavaScript code for the Move, with access to the pads, encoders, display, audio and USB MIDI, launched from the stock software and back. Includes a Launchpad Pro emulation for the Dirtywave M8. Schwung is built on its techniques.
Back up all your sets first; the author makes no guarantees about data loss. Re-run the installer after every Move update.
READ THIS FIRSTAt your own risk, and it may void your warranty. Read the developer’s install notes, back up your presets, and make sure you know how to go back: official 2.1.1 and how to install it →
Running one of these?Mark it in your rig: the Move won’t show as out of date, and you still hear about official updates.

We check Ableton's official download page for the Ableton Move every day. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.
It’s written by independent developers, not by Ableton. Some projects are stable, others are early betas: read each developer’s notes before you flash.
Can I go back to the official firmware?
Yes: load the official 2.1.1 with Move Manager, as described in the official update guide.
Does FW Radar track custom firmware versions?
We note the latest version each developer has published when we check the list, every day, but we don’t send alerts for it: alerts are only for official Ableton firmware.
