9.2.9 Using the Sequencer with Ableton Live
- Ableton Live MIDI tracks accept input from any channel by default. If several sequencer tracks play while multiple Live tracks are armed, the notes can reach every armed track. Assign a separate input channel to each Live track.
- In Live, choose “Launchpad Pro MK3 (LPProMK3 MIDI)” as MIDI From on Mac, or “LPProMK3 MIDI (MIDI 1)” on Windows.
- Ableton Live MIDI input port
- Set each Live track to the channel of its Launchpad sequencer track. By default, Launchpad tracks 1–4 send on MIDI channels 1–4. Sequencer Settings can change those channels.
- Ableton Live track MIDI channels
- Set Monitor to Auto and arm the Live tracks. To arm several at once, hold Command on Mac or Control on Windows while clicking each record-arm button. You can instead disable “Arm Exclusive” from a record-arm button’s context menu.
