AXON AX-100 GUITAR TO MIDI CONVERTER
Problem Solving
External MIDI instrument doesn’t play
Description::
When I play the guitar, the AXON reacts properly on
the meters in the display but my external MIDI instrument does not
play.
Possible problem:
Set up… cable connections
Solution:
• Make sure the MIDI cables are connected properly. From the
AXON’s MIDI OUT jack to the instrument’s MIDI IN jack.
• The MIDI channels of both instruments need to be correctly set.
• The MIDI instrument should be in multi timbral mode.
• Make sure the audio cable between your MIDI instrument and the
amplifier is correctly connected.
• Check the volume control on your guitar interface.
• The select button on your guitar interface could be set to “GUITAR”.
(This would cause no signal to the AXON.)
String bending does not function properly.
Description:
When I play a string, I hear the right note, but hammer-
ons, pull-offs, slides, and string bending do not function like I expect.
Possible problem:
The Pitchbend settings on your AXON do not match
the settings in your MIDI instrument; or Pitch Quantize is turned on.
Solution:
• Make sure that the pitchbend range settings in your MIDI instrument
correspond to the same settings in your AXON (GLOBAL MODE).
• Make sure the QUANTIZE value in the preset split (PRESET
MODE) is set to AUTO or OFF.
Sometimes wrong notes
Description:
When I play the guitar, the notes I hear are all or partly
wrong notes.
Possible problem:
Discrepancy in tuning.
Solution:
• Tune your guitar using the AXON’s tuning aids.
• If you want to tune your AXON to your guitar, use the Tune-Base
function in GLOBAL MODE.
• It’s possible that the transpose function in the preset split is ON.
Turn TRANSPOSE OFF in PRESET MODE.
• Your MIDI instrument may be set to another tuning or have its
transpose function turned ON. Check to see if these parameters are
set to the correct values.
