5.4.9.A – Faders for track pans (left) and volume (right)
5.5 Record Arm & Recording
When a track is record armed, all empty clips in a column will be dimly lit red. When a clip is pressed
it will flash red to show that it is queued to record (the record button will also flash in unison). The
pad will pulse red once recording begins, with the record button lit bright red. If the record button is
then pressed, the clip will flash red to indicate that it will soon stop recording. If the track is un-armed
during recording, the clip will immediately stop recording.
5.6 Production Controls
Launchpad Pro offers several shortcuts to aid production within Ableton Live.
5.4.9 Fader orientation
Volume, Pan, Sends and Device are each sets of 8 faders. The faders are vertical for Volume, Sends
and Device, whereas they are horizontal for pans (see below). Press a pad to move the fader position
up and down (or left to right).
For Volume and Send faders, tracks are arranged horizontally across the pads. For Pan faders, tracks
are arranged vertically.
