14 Press the Edit button.
15 Press the Data 3 key (Velocity On). The LCD screen will read “MAX” and display the currently selected con-
trol (for example “P1”), and the current value (for example “127”).
16 Enter 100 using the number keys. This sets the pad to transmit a Note On message with a velocity of 100
when struck.
17 Press the Enter key.
It is also possible to configure a pad or button to send a note on message when it is pressed and a note off mes-
sage when it is pressed a second time. To do this, follow the configuration steps above, but enter 148 for the
“Control Assign” parameter (see Appendix B, “Assignable MIDI CC’s”).
Setting Buttons or Sustain Pedals to Send Combined Program Change,
Bank LSB and Bank MSB messages
The assignable buttons and the Sustain Pedals can be configured to send a multi-part message, consisting of
a Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB message when pressed. This is useful for specific patch/sound se-
lection from a specific bank of a connected synthesizer or virtual instrument.
This requires four values to be specified (values given are examples):
The following example configures a button or Sustain Pedal to send a total of 3 MIDI messages each time it is
pressed (Bank LSB, Bank MSB and Program Change), allowing you to recall any sound in any bank of a con-
nected software or hardware synthesizer that supports this.
To configure buttons or Sustain Pedals to send combined Program Change, Bank LSB and Bank MSB Messages:
1 Select a button or Sustain Pedal as described earlier.
2 Press the Edit button.
3 Press the Control Assign key. The LCD screen will read “ASIGN” and display the currently selected control
(for example “F10”), and the current MIDI CC assignment (for example “146”).
4 Enter 145 using the number keys. This configures the button or Sustain Pedal to send a combined Bank Se-
lect/Program Change message.
5 Press the Enter key.
In most Axiom factory presets, the pads are already programmed to transmit MIDI note data. In order to
change the pitch of notes sent, you need only follow steps 6 to 9.
