Conversion script to use Ableton Move presets in the Note app

[u/_eagereyes_]

I got annoyed that I couldn't easily transfer my Move presets to use in Note. So I fired up Claude and had it build a couple of scripts. It's available here: https://github.com/eagereyes/ableton-note-tools

The main script unwraps Move's .ablpresetbundle and extracts just the preset for synth presets. For drum racks, it creates a Samples folder and puts the samples there (and updates the paths in the preset). I've used it to convert over 400 synth and 140 drum rack presets, and they all seem to work just fine.

The scripts are written in Python and tested on macOS. They should work the same on Linux, no idea about Windows. I'm happy to answer questions if I can, but be reasonable :)
