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). Note that

Parameter: Data
Value Range: Octave, Transpose, Channel, Program, Bank LSB, Bank MSB, Load Patch
The Data Buttons
9
can perform two functions: Octave shift and a user-defined mode. The
functionality of the buttons is toggled by pressing both buttons at the same time. This parameter
determines the user-defined functionality of the Data Buttons and can be set to the following:
•Octave Data buttons shift the keyboard up or down in one octave increments. The right
button shifts the keyboard upward (i.e., note C3 becomes C4) while the left button
shifts the keyboard downward. Note that octave shift is already the primary mode
of operation for the Data Buttons. If you set the Data parameter to “Octave”, both
the primary and user-defined operation of the Data Buttons will be octave shift.
This means the Data Buttons cannot be used for a secondary function. Some
users may find this to be useful since it will prevent them from accidently switching
to another mode during a performance.
•Transpose Data buttons transpose the keyboard up or down in semi-tone steps. The right
button shifts the keyboard upward (i.e., note C3 becomes C#3) while the left
button shifts the keyboard downward.
•Channel Data buttons select the global MIDI output channel of the keyboard. The right
button increases the current selection by one whereas the left button decreases
the selection.
•Program Data buttons send program change messages. The right button increments the
current program number by one (i.e., if program 32 is currently selected, and the
right data button is pressed, program change number 33 will be transmitted) while
the left button decrements the current program number by one.
•Bank LSB Data buttons send Bank LSB messages. The right button increments the current
Bank LSB value by one whereas the left button decreases the current value.
•Bank MSB Data buttons send Bank MSB messages. The right button increments the current
Bank MSB value by one whereas the left button decreases the current value.
✓ NOTE: Bank LSB and MSB messages must be followed by a
“Program Change” message for them to take effect.
•Load Patch Data buttons can be used to load patches stored within Axiom Pro. Axiom Pro can
store up to 50 patches in its internal memory containing button, pad, knob, zone
assignments as well as other parameters relating to the controller’s operation. The
right data button increments your current patch by one whereas the left button
decrements the current value.
