• Press a pad to play the corresponding clip in Ableton. The colour will match between the screen and
Launchpad Mini’s pads.
• When a pad is pressed it will flash green, indicating that the clip is queued and will soon begin to
play. When a clip is playing, the pad will pulse green.
• Only one clip may play at a time per track. Pressing an empty clip will stop the current one on that
track.
• An entire horizontal line of clips is called a Scene. Scenes can be launched using the > (scene
launch) buttons on the right-hand side of Launchpad Mini.
When a track is armed for recording in Live, empty clip slots will appear in dim red. Press one of these
slots to start recording to the pressed clip.
The bottom row of pads can provide track controls: Stop (stop clip from playing on a specific
track), Solo (solo a specific track) or Mute (mute a specific track). These three functions are cycled
between using the Stop Solo Mute button:
When the device is powered on, the bottom row will at first represent clips in the same way as the
rest of the 8x8 grid. After cycling past Mute, the bottom row will return to showing clips. The Stop
Solo Mute button will be lit white when in this state.
