1. Keyboard: This 32-note keyboard is velocity-sensitive and, in conjunction with the
OCTAVE DOWN/UP buttons, can control a ten-octave range. You can also use it to
access extended programming functions when your Axiom is in Edit Mode.
2. Pitch Bend and Modulation Buttons: These controls let you bend pitch and trigger
parameter modulation when controlling a MIDI instrument.
3. Octave/Transpose Buttons ( – / + ): By default, these buttons shift the keyboard up or
down one octave at a time, extending its playable range. The "+" shifts it upward (e.g.,
Note F3 becomes F4), while the "–" button shifts it downward (e.g., Note F3 becomes F2).
These buttons can also be used to transpose the keyboard in half-steps or to send MIDI
Program Changes and user-assigned MIDI messages.
4. Sustain Button: This button acts like the sustain pedal on a piano; it sustains all currently
held notes (on the keyboard or trigger pads). Its action can be momentary (sustaining only
when the button is pressed and held) or latching (sustain will be switched on or off with
each button press). To switch the button between momentary and latching behavior, see
the Sustain section later in this manual.
5. Edit Button: This button puts your Axiom in Edit Mode, allowing you to use its keyboard's
special functions to create or edit MIDI control assignments, global settings, and utility
functions. The button will illuminate when the keyboard is in Edit Mode.
