Novation Launchkey 25 User Manual

Launchkey’s Session mode provides an 8x2 grid of the clips in your Session View. Example of
Launchkey’s pads in Session mode:
Scenes are rows of clips. Launching a scene will launch all clips in that row. This means you can
arrange clips into horizontal groups (across tracks) to form a song structure, launching scene after
scene to progress through a song.
Again, to access Session mode on your Launchkey by hold Shift and press the Session pad (the bottom
left pad).
In Session mode, the pads represent the grid of clips found inside the coloured rectangle in Ableton
Live’s Session View. The image below shows the rectangle (orange) extending from the left-most track
to the Master track:
Clips are typically loops that contain MIDI
notes or audio.
Tracks represent virtual instruments or audio
tracks. MIDI clips placed on instrument tracks
will play back on the instrument assigned to
that track.
