Launching Clips
Pressing pads will launch clips in the corresponding location in your Session View. Pads will pulse
green to indicate that a clip is playing. Pressing the pad again will relaunch the clip, and pressing an
empty pad will stop playback on that track.
How fast clips stop or relaunch is set by Ableton Live’s Global Quantisation chooser, located at the
top of the Live screen. By default, this is set to 1 bar, but can go as fast as 1/32 notes, or as slow as 8
bars. It can also be set to ‘None’ so clips react immediately.
Launching Scenes
Pressing the Scene Launch button (>) launches scenes in Ableton Live. This means that all of the clips
in a row can either start, stop, record or relaunch together.
