Mute (Yellow) – Pressing pads will Mute the corresponding tracks. The pads will dimly glow for muted
tracks, leaving pads for unmuted tracks at their original brightness and colour.
Clips (Multi) – the fourth press (after toggling through Stop, Solo and Mute) changes the function of
bottom pads back to the default Session mode, where the bottom row of pads will again represent
clips.
2.1.4 Record
Pressing this button triggers Session Record while in Session Mode. This will allow you to record what
you’re playing to new clips as well as overdub existing clips.
2.1.5 Capture MIDI
Pressing this button triggers the Capture MIDI function. This allows you to retrospectively capture any
recently played MIDI notes in the record-armed track. This means that if you are not recording, but
you play something that sounds great, you can use Capture MIDI to send it straight into a clip.
2.1.6 Quantise
This button will quantise MIDI notes in the currently active clip on the currently selected track. This
snaps the MIDI notes to the grid, helping to keep them in time with the beat.
2.1.7 Click
Turns Ableton’s metronome on/off.
2.1.8 Undo
Triggers the undo function.
