About the “Entry” sub-parameter:
This parameter determines how the Min, Max, and CC# parameters will be
displayed on screen. When this parameter is set to “DEC” all values will
be displayed in decimal format whereas setting this parameter to “HEX” will
display the same information in hexidecimal format. A decimal to hexadecimal
conversion chart can be found in Appendix G.
Note that this parameter only changes the formatting of the displayed Min,
Max, and CC# parameters--it does not actually change the type of numerical
information contained within those parameters.
NOTE: When this parameter is set to “HEX,” it is possible to enter HEX values when
editing other parameters on the page, however, it is not possible to directly select A-F
values using the numerical keypad (on Axiom Pro 49/61) or the keys (Axiom Pro 25). To
select these values, users must select “0” or “9” and use the “-“ or “+” buttons
(Axiom Pro 25 users must use the “-” and “+” keys on the keyboard) to access values in
the A-F (10-15) range.
TIP: Many of the controls on Axiom Pro allow you to set a minimum and maximum limit
via the Edit Mode > Control menu. This makes it possible to reduce the data range
within which the selected control operates. When configuring sliders, the expression
pedal or the aftertouch strip this way, the entire “physical range” will become
available for the reduced data range, essentially enabling you to make more precise
edits.
If you set the minimum and maximum limits of a slider, expression pedal, or aftertouch
strip in the Edit Mode > Control menu, you can use the entire “physical range” of the
slider, pedal, or aftertouch strip to send out MIDI data for your restricted range. This
makes it easier to create precise edits.
For example, if you limit the range of a slider between 32 and 64, you can use the
entire “travel” of the slider to select values between 32 and 64 (the bottom of the
slider is value 32 whereas the top is 64). Note that this does not make the actual
MIDI CC data more precise—it simply means that the physical slider can travel more
distance to reach the next MIDI CC “step.”
