Safety information
Please ensure that analogue devices are turned off before plugging them
in. This will protect you from any possible—albeit weak—electrical
shocks, as well as protecting your speakers and your hearing from sud-
den peaks.
Congratulations!
You've purchased the AXON AX 100 MKII, the world's fastest and most powerful guitar-to-MIDI converter
available on the market. The AXON AX 100 MKII is an enhanced development of the NGC 77, which had set
standards for innovative technology and had become standard equipment for many professional guitarists,
including John McLaughlin. Thanks to its neural network, the AXON AX 100 MKII is able to determine the
precise pitch of a note the instant it is picked, whereas other devices require several oscillations of the string
for analysis. The early recognition of transients lets the AXON simultaneously determine pitch, amplitude, and
even the location at which the string was picked—an unparalleled ability to date. This is due to the AXON's
unusual splitting options. For example, you can use a string split to divide the strings of your guitar into two
zones, each with its own sound properties. Or use a fret split to divide the fingerboard of your guitar into two
separate playing zones. Pick splits let you divide the picking area of the guitar into up to three independent
sound zones that you can select instantly by changing your picking position. You can achieve impressive ef-
fects with the pick control function, which lets you control modulation effects and others with your picking posi-
tion. Special effects such as COMMON (bypass), SEPARATE (hold), LAYER (ensemble/doubling) and others
can be applied with the multi-programmable hold switch. The implementation of a full-featured arpeggiator
provides users further options to add expression to their playing with striking variations. Splits and effects can
be combined, stored in up to 128 complex presets and recalled as needed. Another unique feature of the
AXON AX 100 MKII is its unrestricted support for both acoustic guitars and basses with piezo hex pickups.
This opens the MIDI world to bass players and classical guitarists that are looking for new, contemporary
forms of expression. The internal soundboard upgrades the AXON AX 100 MKII to a professional guitar syn-
thesizer for live use supporting ambitious musicians with over 500 excellent sounds, including 10 drum kits.
The AXON AX 100 MKII system is fully MIDI compatible, and also features an editable drum sequencer.
