4.2 Recording Your Performance On A Sequencer
A sequencer records, stores and edits MIDI data. Although hardware sequencers also exist, we will focus on the more commonly used software
sequencers in this manual. Examples of popular software sequencers are Pro ToolsTM, CubaseTM and LogicTM, although there are many different
sequencing applications available for your computer.
In order to use the Axiom with your sequencer, you need to set up the sequencer software so that the Axiom is recognized as the sequencer’s
MIDI input device.
You need to choose a MIDI output device that is capable of making sound when MIDI data is sent to it. This may be a soundcard on your computer,
or a sound module connected to a MIDI port which is in turn connected to your computer. Please consult your sequencer’s user manual for more
information on how this is done. Section 1.3.3, “Using The Axiom With Your software” details how the Axiom will appear in the device listing of
your sequencer.
With the Axiom set-up to communicate with the sequencer, data will go into the sequencer, and straight back out of the sequencer to trigger the
sounds on the computer’s soundcard or the external sound module you have selected as the output device.
You can then record and edit your performance on your sequencer.
4.3 Controlling A Sound Module From The Computer
By turning on MIDI Out from USB mode (section 4.1), the data coming in from the computer will go directly out of the MIDI Out port and trigger the
sounds in the external sound module. This means that your Axiom is effectively acting as a USB to MIDI interface. In order to channel MIDI data
from the computer to the MIDI Out port, you should set the MIDI Output device on your computer to be the Axiom.
Alternatively, you may want to merge the MIDI data from your Axiom with the data from the computer. This would allow you to play and record to
a sequencer, and play back the entire performance on a sound module connected to the MIDI Out port of your Axiom. To do this:
<
Set MIDI Out from USB mode on (section 4.1).
<
Select the Axiom as the MIDI Input device in your sequencer.
