Working with Ableton Live
We’ve designed your Launchkey to work seamlessly with Ableton Live, with deep integration through
powerful production and performance controls out of the box. In addition, you can modify your
Launchkey to suit your needs with Custom Modes. Launchkey’s functionality with Ableton Live is
detailed below.
Installation
If you already own Ableton Live, open the program and plug in your Launchkey. If you don’t yet own
Ableton Live, register your Launchkey at novationmusic.com/register to download and install your
included copy of Ableton Live Lite. If you have never used Ableton Live before, we recommend visiting
our Easy Start Tool (see ‘Getting Started’). There you’ll find videos covering installation, the software’s
basic features, and how to get started making music with your Launchkey.
Setup
With Ableton Live installed, plug your Launchkey into your Mac or PC’s USB port. When you open Live
your Launchkey will be automatically detected and enter Session Mode.
Press Shift on your Launchkey and your pad lights will look like the image below. The top row of pads
(blue) select behaviour or “Mode” of the Pots above, while the lower row of pads (green) select the
behaviour or mode of the pads. A red pad shows this mode (Volume) is assigned to the faders (49, 61
and 88 key models only).
