It feels intuitively like these knobs should reflect the currently selected track, so you'd see all sends for a specific track - eight sends - but what you get instead is all of the send As or Bs or Cs for your grid. Press the pan button to make them pans, press the send A button to control the send A level for each track, likewise with sends B and C. There are eight knobs for pans and sends. Things come up for debate when you get to the top right however. At the right are five scene launch buttons. Press the shift button on its own, and the grid 'zooms out' so that each lit button represents an 8 x 5 grid from your Session View, then tap any one of these to jump straight to that grid.īelow the clip grid you've got nine clip stop buttons, and below those, nine track select buttons. The clips in this area are the ones in focus on the APC clip launcher grid, and you can use the bank select buttons to move this rectangle up/down and left/right in steps of one scene or one track.Īlternatively, press the shift button at the same time to move in steps of five instead. The APC can't differentiate deactivated clips, though, and we'd prefer it if they disappeared from the grid, but tap a launch button (they're not velocity sensitive, by the way), and it'll flash according to global quantisation before the clip launches, just like on screen.Ī red rectangle appears in the Session View, enclosing the first eight tracks horizontally, and the first five scenes vertically (that's right - 8 x 5 = 40). There are four colour states: Off = no clip amber = clip loaded green = clip playing and red = recording. Load some clips into the Session View and the clip buttons light immediately to show their status. Launch Live 8 (or the feature-limited version of Live that comes in the box to get you started), open Preferences, and select the APC as a control surface in the MIDI/Sync tab. Plug the APC into the mains - you can't power that many lights over USB - and connect it to your computer. ![]()
