Drum Mode
APC mini mk2’s Drum Mode splits the matrix of Clip Buttons into 4x4 quadrants that
align with Ableton’s 16 slot Drum Rack, starting with the lower-left quadrant.
To enter Drum Mode, press and hold Shift and press the sixth Scene Launch
Button.
Note Mode
APC mini mk2’s Note Mode changes the layout of the Clip Button matrix to be used
to play notes like a chromatic keyboard. The note scale, octave, and layout of the
Clip Buttons can all be adjusted directly from APC mini mk2.
To enter Note Mode, press and hold Shift and press the seventh Scene
Launch Button (Note).
While in Note Mode, the Clip Button colors will change to reflect the selected scale
notes. Scale root notes will be lit red, while other notes in the scale will be lit amber.
When a Clip Button is pressed, all Clip Buttons of the same note and octave will be
lit bright green, while all Clip Buttons of the same note in other octaves will be lit
light green.
