APC20 note mode: How do you know which notes are which?

Post by joegrant413 » Sun Jan 22, 2012 6:15 pm

I've started trying out the APC 20 in note mode for both drums and keys.

Basic question... how do you know which note is which on the APC 20 grid? I can see the notes on the Ableton software. But still I don't get the rhyme or reason of how the MIDI notes are layed out on the APC 20 grid.

In other words, I'd like to know what note I'm playing before I play it.

If this doesn't get cleared up... I'll go back to using the NanoKey for notes and drum, and stick to the APC20 for clip and session control.

Thanks,
-- Joe
