Section 3: Advanced Features
In Section 2 we saw how to use the keyboard, send program and bank changes and assign MIDI controllers to the various controls on your Axiom.
These basic skills allow you to perform with many software applications, sound modules or synthesizers. However, the Axiom has some more
advanced features that allow you to take your performance even further. In this section we look at these features and what they can do for your
performance.
(If you have not done so already, please familiarize yourself with the various functions used when programming your Axiom. Details of these
functions are given in section 2.0.)
3.1 MIDI Controllers
Appendix C lists all the standard MIDI controller messages and some additional common messages all of which can be assigned to the controls
on your Axiom.
Here we introduce an expanded list of MIDI controllers and also different ways that the controls on the Axiom are able to function. Since these
extra controller numbers are specific to different types of controls on the Axiom, please consult the appendices:
Axiom Control Controller Definition Table
Sliders Appendix D
After-touch strip Appendix D
Expression pedal Appendix D
Pitch Bend Wheel Appendix D
Modulation Wheel Appendix D
Sustain pedal Appendix E
Transport buttons Appendix E
Assignable buttons Appendix E
Rotary encoders Appendix F
Trigger Pads Appendix G
Each MIDI controller has either 2 or 3 extra data parameters associated with it, as shown in the appendices listed above. The function of these
extra data parameters depends on what MIDI controller number is assigned to the selected Axiom control. The appendices above show the
details of what this functionality may be. The extra data parameters for a controller are accessed using the Data 1, Data 2 and Data 3 buttons on
the 49 and 61 note versions, and the Advanced button, followed by the Data 1, Data 2 or Data 3 keys on the 25 note version.
The useful programming examples given below describe some of the uses for these extra data parameters.
3.1.1 Limiting The Range Of Controllers
It is possible to limit the range of the sliders, after-touch strip, expression pedal or dials on your Axiom. This is achieved using the extra data
parameters for the controller as follows:
49 and 61 note versions:
<
Set the control to transmit a MIDI controller message as described in section 2.4.2.
<
Press Data 2 and enter the minimum value for the controller’s range.
<
Press Data 3 and enter the maximum value for the controller’s range.
25 note version:
<
Set the control to transmit a MIDI controller message as described in section 2.4.2.
<
Press the Advanced button.
<
Press the Data 2 key and enter the minimum value for the controller’s range.
<
Press the Data 3 key and enter the maximum value for the controller’s range.
