Pressing Up or Down moves you up or down one scene at a time. Hold the Shift
button while hitting Up or Down to move ve scenes up or down.
The Left and Right arrow keys move you left or right one track at a time. Hold the Shift
button while hitting Left or Right to move eight tracks at a time.

Session Overview
The APC40's Session Overview lets you navigate through large Live Sets quickly without
looking at your computer screen. Hold down the Shift button and the matrix zooms out to
reveal an overview of your Session View. In the Session Overview, each clip launch button
represents a ve-scene-by-eight-track block of clips, giving you a matrix of 125 scenes by
64 tracks. Hit a button to focus on that section of the Session View. For example, hitting
the Shift button and then pressing the button in row three, column one will put the focus
on scenes 11-15 and tracks 1-8. Furthermore, while Shift is held, each scene launch button
represents a block of 25 scenes (if they are available in your Set.)
In the Session Overview, the color coding is a little different:
Amber: indicates the currently selected block of clips, which will be surrounded by the
red border in the software.
Green: there are clips playing in that block of clips (though that may not be the block
of clips selected).
Red: there are no clips playing in that range.
No color: there are no tracks or scenes in that range.
