AXON AX-100 GUITAR TO MIDI CONVERTER
AUTO:
This setting corresponds to your AXON’s unique ability to recognize
your intentions as you play with respect to pitch quantization and
then translate them appropriately. Chords for example, are interpreted
exactly (no pitchbend information), whereas for melodic notes of a
solo which contain string bends and slides, hammer-ons and pull-
offs, pitch quantization is turned off, allowing for normal pitchbend
information to be sent.
OFF:
All pitch changes (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, etc.) will be translated
into pitchbend information allowing for true representation of what
you play. (see Global Parameters: Pitchbend range).
ON:
Any variation in pitch will NOT be translated in pitchbend information
until the given pitch reaches the next half step and will at that point
jump to the new pitch chromatically, but using pitchbend information
and NOT sending new note information. Hammer-ons, pull-offs,
slides, etc. will not be carried out as they are intended. The pitches
you play are then locked (quantized) to the nearest half step. This
setting is advantageous for playing chords.
TRIGGER:
This setting turns pitchbend off altogether, affecting simple chromatic
half steps when playing bends or slides. It is the same as setting the
global setting PBEND RANGE to OFF (see Global Parameters), but
only affects this one particular split zone. It is recommendable to use
this setting when using a piano sound, for example, which
characteristically cannot be bent.
For our example set the Quantize parameter to AUTO. It applies to
the Bass split and allows for string bending (pitchbend), whereas the
piano sound will be triggered in half steps.
PAN POS
Panorama Position (L15…L1, MID, R1…R15)
This is where you place the selected sound of your MIDI instrument
in the overall panorama left to right in stereo. The values L15 to L1
represent the left side, L15 being all the way to the left and R15 to R1
being the same in reverse. R1 and L1 are close to the center. MID is
exactly centered in the stereo panorama.
