Default Custom Modes
Four custom modes are available by default on the device.
To access custom modes, press the Custom button. The top four Scene Launch buttons will be lit and
can be pressed to switch between Custom modes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Custom 1 is a Drum layout, similar to the Note
mode drum layout. What differs is that this
is a static layout – it is not representative of
the current Ableton Drum rack and will not
respond to changing octave. This mode is
useful for playing Drum machines other than
the Ableton Drum rack.
Custom 2 is a chromatic layout that is
representative of a traditional piano/keyboard.
As with all custom modes, this mode will not
respond to changing octave.
Custom 3 is a non-lit version of Custom 1.
Sending MIDI notes to this layout will light the
pads according to the velocity of the incoming
notes.
Custom 4 is a non-lit layout with different
note values to Custom 3. The note values
match Programmer Mode, but for the 8x8 grid
only.
