M-Audio Axiom AIR 25 [12/60] Instruments

Other Controls

Directional Buttons

The Directional buttons can be used to control certain supported software features. Press the

HyperControl button next to the Directional buttons to enable this function.

Trigger Pads

The trigger pads can be used to trigger drum or instrument sounds mapped by your software, but they

have additional functions in HyperControl Mode (depending on your software's specific

implementation of HyperControl). Press the HyperControl button next to the trigger pads to enable

this function.

Identifying Control Assignments

Whether you're in HyperControl Mode or using your own control assignments, it can be helpful to see

which hardware control is assigned to which software parameter.

To check the control assignment of a hardware control:

1. Press and hold the Identify button, or double-press it to "latch" it on. All control output from

Axiom AIR will be temporarily halted, and the button will flash red.

2. Manipulate the control you want to identify. The assigned parameter and its current setting will

appear on the LCD.

3. To go back to normal operation, release the Identify button or, if you latched it, press it once

again.

Controlling Ignite

Ignite, included with your Axiom AIR, is a creative tool designed for rapid and fluid capture,

refinement, and sharing of musical ideas. You can use it on its own or as a counterpart to your

favorite DAW.

following ways:

transport buttons to control those transport functions in Ignite.
