| Axiom Pro User Guide 16 8 Using Axiom Pro Axiom Pro operates in one of two primary modes: Performance Mode and Edit Mode. Most of the time, the keyboard will be in Performance Mode so that you can play your synthesizers and control your audio software. This section covers the operation of the keyboard when it is in Performance Mode. Please see the “Edit Mode” section of this guide to learn how Axiom Pro functions when the keyboard is in Edit mode.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 17 Function Buttons and Soft Keys The Function Buttons and Soft Keys of Axiom Pro are located directly below the LCD screen. These buttons allow you to access various important features of the keyboard (such as loading and saving customized patches, accessing Edit mode, etc.) as well as navigating through menus displayed on the LCD screen.
Axiom Pro User Guide | 18 F1-4 This button is only available on Axiom Pro 25. When the “F1-4” button is pressed, the button becomes illuminated, and the Soft Keys mimic the first four F-Keys of Axiom Pro 49/61. L oad+Save (Hold) Whenever Axiom Pro is in Performance Mode, the LCD screen displays the status of the last used c ontrol and its group.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 19 F-Keys These are assignable buttons that can be used to control your audio applications and virtual instruments. By default (when the first Axiom Pro patch is active), these buttons are configured to send ASCII keystrokes and Axiom Pro patch change messages but can be re-configured to control many other functions within your audio application or a connected synthesizer.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 20 Loading Patches: To load a saved patch: 1. Press the Load button. The button becomes illuminated and the Load page is displayed on the LCD. 2. Turn Encoder knob E5 to select the patch that you would like to load. ✓ T I P : Axiom Pro 49/61 users can also use the +/- buttons or enter the patch number using the numerical keypad. 3. By default, all of the controller groups of Axiom Pro (i.e., the encoder knobs, drum pads, etc.) will be loaded from the saved patch.
Axiom Pro User Guide | 21 Using Axiom Pro with a Computer: Software Configuration When using Axiom Pro in “hosted” mode (i.e., with a computer), you may need to set up your music software to send and receive MIDI data from Axiom Pro. This process varies from application to application, but is usually done through a “Preferences” or “Setup” menu. Refer to your software’s documentation to learn how to do this.
Axiom Pro User Guide | 22 HyperControl Mode About HyperControl Mode HyperControl Mode is a two-way communication protocol that allows your Axiom Pro controls (i.e., knobs, buttons, sliders, etc.) to automatically map and remain synchronized with all supported audio applications (including many popular programs such as Pro Tools, Reason, Cubase, and Logic Pro).
Axiom Pro User Guide | 23 Edit Mode ! IMPORTANT: If you are using Axiom Pro in HyperControl Mode, nearly all of the configuration that would normally take place using Edit Mode (described in this chapter) happens automatically. However, if your application does not support HyperControl or if you are using Axiom Pro to control a hardware MIDI device, this section will cover all of the inner workings of the controller. Axiom Pro has two primary modes of operation: Edit Mode and Performance Mode.
Axiom Pro User Guide | 24 Edit Mode (Main Menu) This top-level menu appears when Axiom Pro enters Edit mode. To navigate this menu, use the numerical keypad on Axiom Pro 49/61 or the black keys of Axiom Pro 25 (each black key on Axiom 25 corresponds to the number that is silk-screened above the note). • Options 1-5 (Global, Control, Group, Zones, MIDI): These items are sub-menus pertaining to specific features of Axiom Pro. Each sub-menu is described in detail in the following pages.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 25 Edit Mode > Global The Edit Mode > Global page contains common parameters that affect all areas of Axiom Pro. press 1 Parameter: Channel Value Range: 1-16 This parameter sets the global MIDI output channel of Axiom Pro. If the “Channel” parameter on any other page of Edit mode is set to “Global,” that parameter will be set to the value selected here.
| Axiom Pro User Guide Velocity Settings (Keys) Low Low-Normal 26 Description 5 These options gradually vary the sensitivity of the keys from “Low” to “High.” “Low” is the least sensitive setting (i.e., you have to strike the keys with more force to achieve the highest MIDI velocities). In contrast, “High” is the most sensitive setting (i.e., you don’t have to strike the keys with as much force to achieve the highest MIDI velocities). “Normal” is the default setting of Axiom Pro.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 27 ✓ Advanced MIDI users: Release Velocity When the VelCurve parameter is selected, Soft-Key 4 displays a note-off logo ( -Off ) that can be checked and unchecked. When this option is unchecked, each time you release an Axiom Pro note, a basic MIDI “note off” command is transmitted. However, if this option is checked, each time you release a note, Axiom Pro transmits a note off message containing release velocity information (i.e., the speed at which you release the note).
| Axiom Pro User Guide Parameter: Program Value Range: 0-127 28 This parameter sends Program Change MIDI messages on your selected Global channel and can be used to select the different sounds contained within your sound module (or virtual instrument). For example, if you set this parameter to “20,” your connected software or sound module will immediately load program number 20.
| Axiom Pro User Guide 29 Edit Mode > Control press 2 The Edit Mode > Control page contains parameters relating to the operation of a specific control on Axiom Pro (i.e., an individual pad, encoder knob, button, etc.). The Control page is automatically set to modify the last item that was manipulated before entering Edit mode. For example, if you adjusted the modulation wheel prior to entering the Edit Mode > Control page, the modulation wheel will be selected for editing.
| Axiom Pro User Guide Parameter: Type Value Range: (varies; see table below) 30 This parameter sets the type of message that will be generated by the selected controller. Your selection for this parameter determines what sub-parameters are displayed on the lower half of the page.

| Axiom Pro User Guide 31 About the “Channel” sub-parameter: This parameter sets the MIDI output channel of the selected control. The parameter can be set in the following ways: • Global Your selected control will transmit on the global MIDI channel as specified on the Edit > Global page. • 1-16 Your selected control will transmit on a MIDI channel between 1 and 16. • Zone 1-4 Your selected control will transmit on the same MIDI channel used by the chosen keyboard zone (1 through 4).
| Axiom Pro User Guide About the “Entry” sub-parameter: This parameter determines how the Min, Max, and CC# parameters will be displayed on screen. When this parameter is set to “DEC” all values will be displayed in decimal format whereas setting this parameter to “HEX” will display the same information in hexidecimal format. A decimal to hexadecimal conversion chart can be found in Appendix G.
Axiom Pro User Guide | 33 About the “Endless” Encoders: he Encoder knobs can function just like the “fixed” knobs found on many synthesizers or MIDI controllers (i.e., fixed knobs T stop rotating and sending MIDI data once you reach the minimum or maximum “ends” of the knob). This is how the Axiom Pro encoders behave if the “Type” parameter of an encoder is set to “MIDI CC.

| Axiom Pro User Guide Parameter: Vel.Lock Value Range: Off, On 35 This parameter engages and disengages velocity locking for the pads. When this parameter is set to “Off,” pads are velocity sensitive. If this parameter is set to “On,” each pad will always transmit at the velocity specified on its Edit > Control page. Note that this feature is only available on pads that are configured to send MIDI note data.
| Axiom Pro User Guide Velocity Settings (Pads) 36 Description 7 Normal These options gradually vary the sensitivity of the pads from “Low” to “High.” “Low” is the least sensitive setting (i.e., you have to strike the keys with more force to achieve the highest MIDI velocities). In contrast, “High” is the most sensitive setting (i.e., you don’t have to strike the keys with as much force to achieve the highest MIDI velocities). “Normal” is the default setting of Axiom Pro.
| Axiom Pro User Guide Parameter: 1-4 Value Range: (varies) 37 The Encoder knobs and drum pads can have up to four profiles allowing you to quickly and easily control up to 32 parameters. When viewing this page in Edit Mode, a selected profile can be enabled and disabled using the “+” and “-“ buttons. Pressing Soft-Key 4 (Edit) lets you edit the name of the selected profile.
