only the range within the pick split will be available, not the entire range from the bridge to
the fingerboard.
(Pick) Value 1 (0-127):
Once you have associated the split zone with a MIDI controller via
Pick Controller, use this parameter to set the starting value for the controller. Moving your
picking position from the bridge toward the neck will cause the value sent to the MIDI con-
troller to continuously move toward the value set for Value 2.
(Pick) Value 2 (0-127):
Once you have associated the split zone with a MIDI controller
via Pick Controller, use this parameter to set the end value for the controller. Moving your
picking position from the neck toward the bridge will cause the value sent to the MIDI con-
troller to continuously move toward the value set for Value 1.
Notes
Send Notes:
If this button is disabled, no more MIDI notes are sent. This can be useful if
using the AXON to control a non-sound generator (e.g. effects unit, mixer etc.) using only
MIDI controllers.
Transpose (-36 to +36):
the MIDI notes can be transposed in pitch. Each step equals a
semitone, so +/-12 = +/-1 octave.
Quantize (Auto, Off, On, Trigger):
This parameter determines whether pitch changes
within the set pitchbend range will be realised continuously or stepwise (quantised):
Auto:
If more than one note is played, pitchbend quantisation is enabled automati-
cally. Chords are thus played precisely (without pitchbend), while pitchbend quantisa-
tion is disabled for single-note solos with bending, hammer-on, sliding and similar
techniques.
Off:
No quantisation, continuous pitchbend. All pitch changes (bends, hammer-ons
and other techniques) are followed as closely as possible (also see Global: Pitchbend
Range).
On:
Quantisation with pitchbend in steps. Increases in pitch are NOT followed with
pitchbend until the next semitone is reached, at which point the new pitch value is u-
sed. Continuous bends and other techniques are not reproduced as expected. This
setting is advantageous when playing chords exclusively, as minor changes in pitch
due to varying pressure on the strings no longer have any effect.
Trigger:
Quantisation through new Note On command. This value disables pitchbend
completely, triggering chromatic semitones when bending or sliding. It corresponds
exactly to the global setting Pitchbend Range: 0 (see Global Parameters) but only af-
fects the current layer in the split zone. This setting is especially suited to organ or pi-
ano sounds, which would otherwise sound extremely unnatural.
