CHAPTER 17. INSTRUMENT, DRUM AND EFFECT RACKS 224
Pad View excels as a performance interface, particularly when triggered by a hardware
control surface with pads. If your pad controller is one of Ableton's natively supported control
surfaces, simply select it as a control surface in the MIDI/Sync tab of Live's Preferences. From
then on, as long as you have a Drum Rack on a track that's receiving MIDI, your pad controller
will trigger the pads that are visible on your screen. If you scroll the pad overview to show
a different set of pads, your controller will update automatically.
