Drum Mode
If an
Ableton Live Drum rack
is loaded to the currently armed track, Note Mode will
represent the current state of the drum rack, showing which slots are currently filled.
In Ableton Live, load a drum kit into a MIDI track by selecting a Drum kit from the
browser and double clicking it (or alternatively drag it to a track). If you cannot hear
anything, ensure that the track is record armed and that monitoring is set to auto
(
Note Mode
).
The view is divided into four 4x4 areas, each of which represents the areas of the
Drum rack, shown below.
The visible area of the Drum rack may be scrolled through in sets of 16 slots using
the
▲▼
buttons, or in sets of 4 slots using the
◄
►
buttons. The bottom left 4x4
area will always correspond with the currently visible slots in the Ableton Drum rack.
If there is a sample loaded in the areas 2, 3 or 4 in the diagram above, it will be
visible as a brightly lit yellow pad, exactly as seen in area 1.
When a drum pad is pressed, the pad will turn blue to indicate that it is selected.
The sample present in this slot may then be edited from within the Ableton Drum
Rack.
