and installing Ableton Live 10 Lite. You’ll also find videos covering the software’s

basic features so you can get started making music in Ableton Live with Launchpad

into your Mac or PC’s USB port. When you open Live your Launchpad Mini will be

automatically detected and it will enter Session Mode.

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

Mini’s pads.

Clips

are typically loops that contain MIDI notes or audio.

Tracks

represent virtual instrument or audio tracks. MIDI clips 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 on the grid

represents a

scene

highlighted is scene

“9”.

The yellow

column shows a

track

, titled “1

Rhodes”.
