Global Parameter
If you use your AXON for the first time you have to check the
settings of some global parameter in correspondence to your
MIDI instrument:
Please check the basic MIDI channel and tune your guitar with
the embedded tuning aid of your AXON. If you are in a hurry
and if you would like to play immediately with your AXON, read
the explanations in the sections BASIC CH and tuning of the
guitar. You must ensure that the connected MIDI instrument
receives Pitch Bend Range information, otherwise you set this
value at your MIDI instrument on 12. Then you leap over all
further parameters for the present and you can test the factory
presets.
In order to change one of the GLOBAL parameter, switch your
AXON into the GLOBAL mode. Please press first the GLOBAL
key. If the GLOBAL LED lights, your AXON is in the GLOBAL
mode. With the +- keys, you move the blinking cursor in the line
in which the desired parameter is shown. Please change the
shown value with the +- keys. If you are satisfied with the
setting, leave the GLOBAL mode and change again to the
SCRATCH, ARRANGE or CHAIN mode by pressing the
corresponding key. You see the current mode on the appropriate
LED.
BASIC CHAN
Basic MIDI channel 1-10
Your AXON needs maximal seven successive MIDI channels in
order to control a connected MIDI tone generator. One channel is
necessary for each string and an additional channel is required if
you would like to use the special function of the Hold Pedal.
With the basic MIDI channel you assign the first of seven
channels which will be used by your AXON. All further channels
follow implicitly.
PBEND RANGE
Pitchbend Range OFF/I...24
Since your connected MIDI instrument should convert the pitch
changes of your guitar correctly, you have to set the Pitch Bend
Range of your MIDI instrument to the same value as this one on
the AXON. The value shows the maximum number of semitone
steps that can be converted with Pitch Bend information, without
triggering a new note on your MIDI instrument. If your MIDI
instrument allows, this value should be set to at least 12. For bass
guitars it is especially recommended to set it even higher, to 24.
