Keys mode
Keys mode allows you to play your Launchpad Mini’s grid as a chromatic keyboard.
The layout presents 4 octaves of notes in a piano layout, with the octaves stacked
vertically. The lowest pitch is at the bottom, with the highest at the top. The range
of notes is C2-C6.
In Ableton Live, load an instrument (such as Simpler) into a MIDI track and you will
be able to play it in Keys mode. Do this by double clicking an instrument or preset
from the browser (on the left-hand side of Ableton Live), or drag it to a chosen
track. If you cannot hear anything, ensure that the track is record armed, and that
monitor is set to auto (see diagram below).

section of a drum rack consists of 16 slots, arranged into a group of 4x4 pads. There
are 4 of these groups for a total of 64 drum rack slots.
