Ableton Live
Ableton Live (often referred to only as Live) is a unique and powerful piece of software for music
creation. Ableton Live 10 Lite is provided with your Launchpad Mini, which gives you all the tools
you’ll need to get started with making your own music.
If you’ve never used Ableton Live before, we recommend visiting our Easy Start Tool (see Getting Up
and Running). Here you’ll be guided through downloading and installing Ableton Live 10 Lite. You’ll
also find videos covering the software’s basic features so you can get started making music in Ableton
Live with Launchpad Mini.
With Ableton Live installed, get your Launchpad Mini up and running by plugging it into your Mac or
PC’s USB port. When you open Live your Launchpad Mini will be automatically detected and it will
enter Session Mode.
