5 31 Using the APC40
Session View Clip and Navigation Controls.
Pressing a Clip Launch button triggers the clip in the corresponding clip slot in Live. If the track is
armed to record, pressing the button records a new clip.
The buttons in the matrix light up in different colors so you know what’s going on:
•Amber: this slot contains a clip.
•Green: this clip is playing.
•Red: this clip is recording.
Many aspects of the Live interface are replicated in the APC40. You can stop all music in a track
with its Clip Stop button and fire horizontal lines of clips with the Scene Launch buttons. Stop All
Clips does just that.
The controller tells you what’s going on in the software, but, importantly, the software also re-
flects what’s happening on the controller. The clip slots currently being controlled by the APC’s
button matrix are shown in Live with a red border.
