CHAPTER 26. USING THE APC20 336
reects what's happening on the controller. The clip slots currently being controlled by the
APC's button matrix are shown in Live with a red border.
The cursor controls allow you to navigate around the Session View:
Pressing Up or Down moves you up or down one scene at a time.
The Left and Right arrow keys move you left or right one track at a time.
26.3 Session Overview
The APC20'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.
In the Session Overview, the color coding is a little different:
Amber: indicates the currently selected block of clips, which will be surrounded by a
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.
26.4 Transport and Global Buttons
Live's Play, Stop and Global Record buttons are all easily accessible, while MIDI Overdub
lets you overdub on a MIDI clip.
