5. Session Mode
5.1 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 page 5).
Here you’ll find your included Ableton Live 10 Lite download code (if you choose to register your
Launchpad Pro), alongside videos covering installing, the software’s basic features, and how to get
started making music with your Launchpad Pro 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 Pro.
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.

column shows a
