Launchpad X Interface

Modes are the core of the Launchpad X interface. They allow you to switch between

views, offering different functionality in each.

There are three different modes available –

Session, Note

and

Custom

Press a mode button (above) to enter the respective mode. The currently active

mode will be lit pale green. Currently available modes will be lit dim white.

When in Session Mode, press Session once again to toggle Mixer Mode. In Mixer

Mode the Scene Launch buttons will become Ableton Live mixer functions in line

with their sub text.

There are 4

Custom

modes available. When the Custom button is pressed you will

enter Custom Mode 1 by default. Access each of these by pressing the top 4 Scene

Launch buttons after the Custom button is pressed. The Custom Mode lit in pale

green is selected, while available ones will be lit dim white. Using Novation

Components, you are able to edit these four modes and customise them to your

needs (see

Custom Modes

Session Mode

Ableton Live’s Session View

Session mode

is designed to control

Ableton Live’s Session View

, seen below.

If you’ve never used Ableton Live before, we recommend visiting our Easy Start

Tool (see

Getting Up and Running

). Here you’ll find your included Ableton Live 10

Lite download code (if you choose to register your Launchpad X), alongside videos

covering installing, the software’s basic features, and how to get started making

music with your Launchpad X in Ableton Live.

Session View is a grid that consists of

clips

tracks

(columns) and

scenes

(rows).

Session mode provides an 8x8 view of your clips in Session view on Launchpad X.

Clips

are typically loops that contain MIDI notes or audio.

Tracks

represent virtual instruments or audio tracks. MIDI clips placed on instrument

tracks will play back on the instrument that is assigned to that track.

Scenes

are rows of clips. Launching a scene will launch all clips in that row. This

means that you can arrange clips into horizontal groups (across tracks) to form a

song structure, launching scene after scene to progress through a song.

A row represents a

scene, highlighted is

scene “9”.

The yellow column

shows a track,

titled “1 Rhodes”.
