Device Mode - Navigating and Controlling Devices
Device mode allows you to control an Ableton “Device” (Ableton or 3rd-party instruments and effects)
on a Live track. When your Launchkey is connected to Live, the pots will automatically sync to the first
device within the current Live track.
You can also assign faders to control devices (49, 61 and 88 key models only). To do this ensure the
pots are not already assigned to Device mode (you can’t assign a mode to both pots and faders at the
same time) hold the Shift button and press the first Fader button. To re-assign control over devices to
the Pots hold the Shift button and press the first pad in the top row.
If the Track contains an Effect or Instrument Rack the assigned faders or pots sync to the first rack’s
eight Macro Controls. The image below shows an Instrument Rack preset called ‘Percussion 1’. In
this example your Launchkey’s eight pots control a variety of important parameters including sample
volumes, stretch and start times as well as the Dry/Wet values of Delay and Reverb effects.
If the Track does not contain a Rack then Device Mode will sync to a selection of eight parameters of
the first device. To navigate between devices on a track containing multiple see ‘Device Select/Lock’.
