These controls work regardless of which view is active: picking the
sequencer and view, the LaunchControl XL modifier buttons that change what
grid presses do, sequencer-level mute/autodrop cues, and octave shifts.
Interaction
Each player has two Launchpads (LHS = steps/overview, RHS = steps/editor)
and one LaunchControl XL. Sequencer selectors select the sequencer;
View selectors select the view for that sequencer. The LC’s six
right-column buttons (SHIFT, MUTE, SOLO, REC ARM, 8A, 8B) are modifiers:
they are held while pressing a pad, and the combination decides the action.
The LC top/bottom button rows manage sequencer mutes and autodrops; the
bottom row doubles as octave control under modifiers.
