6. Note mode
6.1 Overview
Use Launchpad Pro’s Note Mode to play drums and melodic instruments expressively with the velocity
and pressure sensitive 8x8 grid.
The layout of Note mode is variable, with the option to have a chromatic, scale, or drum layout. You
are able to customise Launchpad Pro’s playing surface to suit you.
When in any layout, use ▲▼ to increase or decrease the octave, and use ◄ ► to transpose the grid
by a semitone up or down.
Note Mode will react dynamically to the currently armed instrument in Ableton Live. When a track
with a Drum Rack is armed in Live, Note Mode will automatically switch to a Drum layout, and vice
versa for any other instrument.
In Ableton Live, load an instrument into a MIDI track by selecting an instrument from the browser and
double clicking it (or alternatively drag it to a track). If you cannot hear anything, ensure that the track
is record armed and that monitoring is set to auto.

for a smooth experience
6.2 Chromatic Mode
Chromatic Mode is the default layout of Note mode. Press pads in the 8x8 grid to trigger notes.
While Chromatic Mode allows all notes to be played, a visual indication for which notes are in scale is
provided.
