2.1.2 Launching Scenes
Pressing the Scene Launch button (>) launches scenes in Ableton Live. This means that all of the clips
in the top row of the pad grid will start together.
2.1.3 Stop, Solo, Mute
While in Session mode, it is possible to switch the functionality of the bottom 8 pads so that they no
longer launch clips. This is done with the Stop, Solo, Mute button.
The Stop, Solo, Mute button toggles between four different states which affect tracks in the following
ways:
Stop (Red) – In this state, pressing a pad in the bottom row will stop any clip on the corresponding
track. The red pads will glow dimly if tracks are not playing.
Solo (Blue) - Pressing the pads will solo the corresponding tracks, meaning only tracks with Solo on
will be heard. The pads dimly glow if tracks are not soloed (i.e. they are silent). Soloed tracks glow a
steady bright blue.
