Drum Layout
This layout is intended to provide a grid suitable for playing a drum rack within Ableton Live.
(See figures 6 and 7.)
Rather like the Note layout, the square pads send Note On and Note Off messages. The round
buttons send MIDI CCs. They self-illuminate when pressed, unless disabled in the set-up page.
When a MIDI Note On is received the associated pad lights up green, returning back to the
original colour when the Note Off message is received.
MIDI Note C1 = 36 (24h), which is the starting point for the Ableton drum rack.
