the selection by 8 tracks (left or right) or by 5 scenes (up or down), effectively shifting the entire

When holding down this button, the 8x5 matrix of Clip Launch buttons will enter Session
Overview Mode. In this view, each Clip Launch button represents an entire 8-track-by-5-scene
matrix of clips in Live. You can then press one of them to view that 8x5 matrix in the Clip
Launch buttons. This allows you to access and use more than the 5 rows and 8 tracks
represented by the Clip Launch buttons. While in Session Overview Mode, the Clip Launch
buttons' colors represent the following:
• Off: No clips are present in this 8x5 matrix.
• Amber: Clips are present in this 8x5 matrix, which is currently selected.
• Green: Clips are present in this 8x5 matrix, which contains clip slots that are currently
playing.
• Red: Clips are present in this 8x5 matrix, but no clip slots are currently playing.
Note: If the current matrix of Clip Launch buttons is "between" two 8x5 matrices, when you
enter Session Overview Mode, both Clip Launch buttons representing those two matrices will
light up amber.
