# Welcome!

**Thanks for using the KeySwitch & Expression Map!**

![](https://www.swub.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/icon_manual.png)

On the following pages, I prepared for you a **solid documentation** with **a lot of illustrations** to give you a good overview about the workflow with the device, how to set it up and the different possibilties to control the key switches.

If you are in a hurry or are an advanced Ableton user, I would recommend you to read at least the [Walktrough](https://www.swub.de/en/software/support/article/keyswitch-expression-map_how-does-it-works/). There you will learn how the KeySwitch & Expression Map basically works and you get a **quick tour** through the interface to explore all the functions and setting options. Additionally, you can as well use the **Info View** directly in Ableton for questions. You will find a short description of everything there.

For those who are new to Ableton, the other chapters provide detailed **step-by-step instructions** on how to set up the KeySwitch & Expression Map for various use cases.

In the **[Knowledge & Tips section](https://www.swub.de/en/software/support/article/keyswitch-expression-map_what-is-midi-in-a-nutshell/)**, Over the next few months, you will find there a growing number of articles that will provide you with basic knowledge about audio engineering and music theory. I strongly believe that the time you invest in a good knowledge base will save you a lot of time later on. It will help you to find quickly creative solutions to problems and may even give you inspiration and new ideas for your music compositions!
