Features of the AXON
Your AXON is fitted with a novel method of pitch recognition
working so quickly and safely that you can use your AXON also
with a bass guitar. At present, no comparable device offers you
this feature.
The AXON is unique because it recognizes the pick position of
each string, and the AXON offers you new possibilities to
control your MIDI instrument.
Your AXON is able to reduce the MIDI output data stream as far
as possible to a minimum. According to the setting of the preset
parameter, further reliefs are the result. At previous devices,
Pitch Bend data load the MIDI interface strongly.
If you did not work with a comparable device before, you will
get to know some terms which are perhaps new for you.
Therefore we would like to explain here the extraordinary
possibilities you can use with your AXON.
The most interesting and the most extraordinary features of your
AXON are undoubtedly the different split possibilities.
You can set a string split in order to divide the six strings of your
guitar into two parts. In each part, your MIDI instrument could
give out another sound. For that purpose you will fix a split
point - in this case a string number - in order to set the border
between the two parts.
Assign a fret split in order to divide the neck of your guitar into
two parts.
Think of an accord accompaniment which you play in low-
pitched registers with an optional sound. Then you change to a
solo which is played in higher notes with another sound. In this
case the split point is a fret number.
The most unique feature of the AXON NGC 60 is the possibility
of pick splitting.
One split point can be defined to split the pick range between the
pickup and the neck into two pick regions. An individual sound
can be assigned to each of these regions.
At each of the three split possibilities you can additionally use
the pick control function. You can change the value of each
MIDI controller with the pick position. Keyboard players often
use a modulation wheel in order to produce vibrato or filter
effects. With the pick control function you have the same
possibilities, only by changing the pick position.
