Model number of your AXON from the factory. If there is ”SB” after the ”AXON AX 100”, your AXON is equipped with
the internal sound board built in at the factory. You can of course opt to purchase the sound board later.
Serial Number of your AXON.
RIGHT (MONO): This is the right side line level output from the internal sound board, if you have the AXON AX 100
SB. If this output jack alone is connected (without the left output being connected) the resulting signal from this output
jack is a composite MONO signal.
LEFT (STEREO): This is the left side line level output from the internal sound board, if you have the AXON AX 100
SB. If this output jack alone is connected (without the right jack being connected) the resulting signal from this jack is
still the left side of the stereo signal alone.
MIDI IN jack: Your AXON AX 100 (SB) receives program change and sysex data on this port. If you also use the setting
LOCAL OFF in GLOBAL mode, you can have all incoming MIDI data sent directly to the optional internal sound board.
This is the typical setting if you are using your AXON with a sequencer.
MIDI THRU jack: All data that is received on the MIDI IN jack will be echoed unchanged to this port.
MIDI OUT jack: All MIDI data generated by your AXON will be sent to this port. If you are using an external MIDI
instrument with your AXON, be sure to connect this port with the MIDI IN port on your external instrument.
EXP1, EXP2 jacks for foot swell pedals: You can connect to separate swell pedals to these jacks to control any MIDI
controller you choose. Especially valuable when assigned to modulation and filter effects. Because your AXON supports
the NRPN/RPN controllers, you can assign controllers #6 and #38 to these pedals and have access to a wide variety of
usable functions that are not presently available in any other machine of this category.
CHAIN footpedal jack: In chain mode, you can use a pedal switch attached to this port to cycle through a series of
preprogrammed presets.
HOLD footpedal jack: connect the foot pedal included with your AXON to this port to access any of the various HOLD
modes such as COMMON, SEPARATE, LAYER, ARPEGGIATOR and CONTROL.
ADAPTER: Connect the powersupply included with your AXON to this jack.
GUITAR OUT jack: The normal analog signal from your guitar pickups is transmitted through the 13-conductor cable
from your guitar interface along with all the other information sent to your AXON. This unchanged analog signal is fed
through your AXON to this port so that you can, for example, combine your natural guitar sound with the MIDI sounds
generated by your AXON. In order to eliminate possible hum from the guitar analog signal, always use this port and the
signal coming through the 13-conductor cable for the source of your analog guitar sound if you are going to be combining
it with MIDI sounds. Your guitar interface AX101/102 has a mini phone jack for this purpose. You can connect it directly
to the included 13-conductor cable.
CE symbol: This symbol certifies that your AXON follows the appropriate standards of the European Union (EU).
