NAVIGATION / TRACK SELECTION
These control specific functions in Ableton Live. When SHIFT is held down, pressing one of these buttons will
select a track – 1-8 or MASTER.
10. TRANSPORT CONTROLS – These transport controls – PLAY, STOP, and REC – represent the same
functions in the software.
11. MIDI OVERDUB – Turns MIDI Overdub on or off.
12. BANK SELECT – These pads move the
cursor/selection in Ableton Live by one track (left
or right) or by one scene (up or down). Holding
SHIFT while pressing this pad will move the
selection by 8 tracks (left or right) or by 5 scenes
(up or down), effectively changing the Clip
Launch View (see #1).
13. NOTE MODE – Press this button to put the CLIP LAUNCH / SESSION OVERVIEW buttons into Note
Mode. In Note Mode, the 8x5 grid will be divided into two equal halves with each button representing a
note in Ableton Live's Drum Rack. Moving left-to-right and bottom-to-top within the left half of the grid,
the buttons ascend chromatically (C1, C#1, D1, D#1, etc.) from C1 to G2. The right half of the grid
ascends similarly from G#2 to D#3. (This is ideal for using with Drum Rack, but it can also be used to
play melodic lines with any MIDI device.)
