Show HN: I made tool for slicing up samples to Ableton Move presets
I recently got Ableton Move and was disappointed by how difficult
it was to convert samples into Move-compatible drum racks, so I
made a simple CLI tool for that. I hope others find it useful, and
at some point, Ableton sees the need and provides us with a built-
in solution.
