To learn about creating and using custom groupings of instruments and effects, check out the Instrument, Drum and Effect Racks chapter ( see Chapter 20).
To learn about a particular device and how to operate it, consult the Live Audio Effect Reference ( see Chapter 24), Live MIDI Effect Reference ( see Chapter 25) or the Live Instrument Reference ( see Chapter 26). To save space in the Device View, a device can be collapsed by double-clicking on its title bar or by choosing Fold from its right-click(PC) / CTRL- click(Mac) context menu. The Device View appears in the bottom area of the Live screen. To select a track and open the Device View to access its devices, double-click the track’s name. The Device View is where you insert, view and adjust the devices for the selected track. They can also be placed in MIDI tracks as long as they are “downstream“ from an instrument.
These devices can be of three different sorts: Every track in Live can host a number of devices.
