. This chapter will help you set up your APC20, and
introduce its capabilities.
29.1 Setup
The APC20 is one of Live’s natively supported control surfaces (page 478), so setup is easy.
Once the APC20 has been powered on and connected to your computer’s USB port, it will be
automatically configured by Live. If it does not configure properly you can manually select the
APC20 in Live’s Preferences:
1. Open Live’s Preferences from the Live menu in OS X, or the Options menu in Windows;
2. Go to the MIDI/Sync Tab;
3. Select the APC20 preset from the Control Surface chooser. Then select the port that the
APC20 is connected to in the Input and Output choosers:
