Chapter 4: Advanced Keyboard Functions

Axiom includes extended programming capabilities through secondary functions of the keys. The available

parameters are listed along the top edge of the keyboard, and accessed by pressing the Edit button. The LCD

screen shows the numerical value of the parameter being edited.

Control Assign (Ctrl Assign), Data 1, Data 2, Data 3

The Control Assign function (Ctrl Assign) assigns a MIDI continuous control number (MIDI CC), or other

MIDI parameter to any assignable Axiom control. The Data 1, Data 2, and Data 3 keys define various related

aspects of the parameter or function assigned to a control. For lists of available MIDI continuous control num-

bers, see Appendix A, “Standard MIDI Control Numbers (MIDI CC’s)” and Appendix B, “Assignable MIDI

CC’s.”

For example, it is possible to configure a button to send MIDI note On/Off Data by assigning it to controller

number 147. The Data 1 key is used to specify the pitch (note number) of the note played by the button (see

Appendix C, “Useful MIDI Data”). The Data 2 key is used to set the Note Off velocity (Velocity Off). The Data

3 key is used to set the Note On velocity (Velocity On), determining how loud the note will sound.

For more details and step-by-step control assignment examples, refer to Chapter 5, “Advanced Programming

Functions.”
