AXON AIX 101/103 (English)
9
5. VOLUME
: this knob controls the volume of the sound generators connected to the
AXON (the AXON translates the control position into a master volume value and
sends this value to the connected oscillators). To adjust the volume of the conven-
tional guitar sound, use the controls on the guitar itself.
6. UP (higher) and DOWN (lower) buttons:
use these buttons to select different sounds
and other functions while playing. Press the buttons as required to step through the
memory numbers of the AXON (and the corresponding voice numbers of the con-
nected synthesizer). Press and hold the buttons to switch numbers without stopping.
7. GUITAR/MIX/SYNTH selector:
this switch determines the signal to be sent to the
AXON:
GUITAR:
the output contains only the signal from the conventional pickups (no
MIDI)
MIX:
both the direct guitar signal and synthesizer signals (MIDI) are sent.
SYNTH:
only the synthesizer signals (MIDI) are sent, not the conventional guitar
signal.
Installation
While mounting the AIX 101/103 on a guitar or bass is not difficult, it does require great
care and a certain degree of manual skill. If you are not sure you have the necessary
skills, we recommend leaving the installation work to someone who has experience in
modifying and repairing guitars.
Note:
before installing the AIX 101/103, be sure that the neck and the string
height/intonation (bridge) of the instrument are set correctly.
Suitable guitars/basses
The AIX 101/103 can be used with most electric guitars and basses as well as acoustic
guitars with steel strings, with the following exceptions:
As the AIX 101/103 is equipped with a magnetic pickup, it will not work with nylon or
other nonmetallic strings.
The AIX 101/103 is designed for 6-string guitars or 4/5/6-string basses. The system
cannot work correctly with 12-string guitars or unconventional string configurations.
The AIX 101/103 pickup must be fitted between the bridge and rear pickup of the gui-
tar. Installation is not possible if there is not enough room between the bridge and rear
pickup or the body and the strings.
