Ableton/Live/UG/35 Push 1/03 Playing and Programming Beats/05 Step Sequencing Beats
- Tapping a pad also picks it for step sequencing; hold Select while tapping to pick it silently. Tap step pads to place notes; the clip starts as soon as you tap a step. Each step is a 16th note by default, changed with the Scene/Grid buttons.
- A moving green pad marks the playing step, red while recording. Tapping a filled step deletes the note; hold Mute to deactivate a step instead, or Solo to solo a sound. Hold Delete and tap a pad to clear its notes within the loop.
- Step colors: unlit is empty, blue has a note (darker means higher velocity), dull yellow is a muted note. With triplet steps the two right columns turn red and are unused.
- Velocity and micro-timing per note are covered in Ableton/Live/UG/35 Push 1/12 Step Sequencing Automation; loop length pads in Ableton/Live/UG/35 Push 1/06 Step Sequencing Melodies and Harmonies/01 Adjusting the Loop Length.
