Session
Press Pan or Sends and the grid is Live's Session view: 40 clips in their own colours, five scenes, a stop button per track.
- Launch clips: pads, scenes, stop, moving around

The big picture
Hold Bank in Session: every pad becomes a block of 8 tracks × 5 scenes of your set. Tap a block to jump there, let go of Bank and you're in it.
- white: where you are
- green: clips playing there
- amber: clips, none playing
- dark grey: outside the set
Make a set with 20 tracks, hold Bank and tap the third pad in the top row: the grid shows tracks 17–24.
While you hold Bank only the pads count: the scene buttons, Clip Stop and the arrows rest until you let go.
