Default Operation: The Group F button is used to enable or disable the control group when a Patch is stored or recalled.
When the button is illuminated the group is enabled for the operation.
For example, when storing a Patch, the group is enabled by default. Pressing the button disables and excludes the controls
from the newly stored patch. When the patch is recalled, the state of the group is remembered as being disabled, and the
Group F button will not illuminate.
5. Faders – There are nine Faders (F1–F9) on Axiom 49 and 61, and one Fader (F1) on Axiom 25. These faders function based on
the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation: Refer to the separate DirectLink documentation applicable to your DAW at
www.m-audio.com/hypercontrol.
Default Operation: All nine Faders (Axiom 49 & 61) send different types of standard MIDI CC messages, or advanced MIDI
messages based on the parameter they are assigned to. When a fader is moved the LCD screen will display the assigned
MIDI message (for example "cc 74"), its name (for example "F1"), and the values sent. If the Control Mute function (see
"Additional Functions") is active the LCD will display the same information, with the addition of "MUTE." This signifies that
MIDI data will not be transmitted, and the fader can be moved with affecting external software devices. All faders are fully
assignable as described in Chapter 5, "Advanced Programming Functions."
6. Fader Buttons – Axiom 49 and 61 feature nine Fader buttons. These buttons function based on the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation: Refer to the separate DirectLink documentation applicable to your DAW at
www.m-audio.com/hypercontrol.
Default Operation: All nine buttons (Axiom 49 & 61) send different types of standard MIDI CC, MIDI note, or other
advanced MIDI messages based on the parameter they are assigned to as described in Chapter 5, "Advanced
Programming Functions."
Pressing a Fader button causes the LCD screen to display the assigned MIDI message (for example "cc 74"), its name (for
example "F10"), and the value sent. This will also be the case when the button is released. If the Control Mute function is
active pressing one of these buttons with deactivate it.
7. LCD Screen – The LCD screen displays operational, programming, and status information. In DirectLink mode the data seen on
the LCD screen is entirely dictated by the DAW.
8. Group E Button
DirectLink Operation: When this button is pressed, all eight Axiom Encoder knobs (E1–E8) are released from their
DirectLink assignments, and mapped according to the current active preset Patch. A new Axiom Patch can be selected at
any time by using the "Recall" function (see "Additional Functions").
Pressing the Group E button again, returns all controls to their DirectLink assignments. The button also illuminates
confirming the group is in DirectLink mode.
The Axiom Transport buttons are not affected by the Group E button, and they will always retain their default DirectLink
assignments.
Default Operation: The Group E button is used to enable or disable the control group when a Patch is stored or recalled.
When the button is illuminated the group is enabled for the operation.
For example, when storing a Patch, the group is enabled by default. Pressing the button disables and excludes the controls
from the newly stored patch. When the patch is recalled, the state of the group is remembered as being disabled, and the
Group E button will not illuminate.
9. Encoder Knobs – There are eight Encoder Knobs (E1–E8) with functions based on the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation: Refer to the separate DirectLink documentation applicable to your DAW at
www.m-audio.com/hypercontrol.
Default Operation: These knobs send different types of standard MIDI CC messages or advanced MIDI messages based
on the parameter they are assigned to, or the active preset. When a knob is moved the LCD screen will display the assigned
MIDI message (for example "cc 74"), its name (for example "E1"), and the value sent. If the Control Mute function (see
"Additional Functions") is active the LCD will display the same information, with the addition of "MUTE." This signifies that
MIDI data will not be transmitted. All Encoder knobs are fully assignable as described in Chapter 5, "Advanced
Programming Functions."
10. Transport Buttons – These buttons (E9–E14) function based on the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation: In both Mixer and Instrument Modes, these buttons map to the Transport buttons in qualified DAW
applications to control playback, record, start/stop, fast forward and rewind, as well as enabling (or disabling) the loop
function.
Within in qualified versions of Pro Tools, holding the Loop button while pressing one of the other Transport Control buttons
gives access to additional functions. Further information on how to access these functions can be found in the DirectLink
User Guide for Pro Tools.
Default Operation: These buttons send standard MIDI CC, MIDI note, MMC (MIDI Machine Control), or other advanced
MIDI messages based on the parameter they are assigned to. When a button is pressed, the LCD screen will display the
assigned MIDI message (for example "cc 74"), its name (for example "E9"), and the value sent. This will also be the case
when it is released. If the Control Mute function (see "Additional Functions") is active it is deactivated when on of these
buttons is pressed.
All Axiom Transport buttons are fully assignable as described in Chapter 5, "Advanced Programming Functions."
11. Group P Button
DirectLink Operation: When this button is pressed, all eight Trigger pads (P1–P8) are released from their DirectLink
