Default Operation
The Group E button is used to enable or disable the control group when a Patch is stored or recalled. When
the button is illuminated the group is enabled for the operation.
For example, when storing a Patch, the group is enabled by default. Pressing the button disables and ex-
cludes the controls from the newly stored patch. When the patch is recalled, the state of the group is re-
membered as being disabled, and the Group E button will not illuminate.
9 Encoder Knobs
There are eight Encoder Knobs (E1–E8) with functions based on the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation
In Mixer Mode (default), these knobs map to the Pan function within qualified DAWs by default.
When Instrument Mode is active, these Encoder knobs generally map to parameters on the virtual instru-
ment within the targeted DAW track.
The operation of these knobs may vary slightly in different DAW applications. For more information
about Instrument and Mixer modes, refer to the DirectLink User Guide for your qualified DAW.
Default Operation
These knobs send different types of standard MIDI CC messages or advanced MIDI messages based on the
parameter they are assigned to, or the active preset. See Appendix A, “Standard MIDI Control Numbers
(MIDI CC’s)” and Appendix B, “Assignable MIDI CC’s.” When a knob is moved the LCD screen will dis-
play the assigned MIDI message (for example “cc 74”), its name (for example “E1”), and the value sent. If
the Control Mute function (See “Additional Functions” on page 12) is active the LCD will display the
same information, with the addition of “MUTE.” This signifies that MIDI data will not be transmitted. All
Encoder knobs are fully assignable as described in Chapter 5, “Advanced Programming Functions.”
10 Transport Buttons
These buttons (E9
E14) function based on the type of operation, as follows:
DirectLink Operation
In both Mixer and Instrument Modes, these buttons map to the Transport buttons in qualified DAW ap-
plications to control playback, record, start/stop, fast forward and rewind, as well as enabling (or dis-
abling) the loop function.
Within in qualified versions of Pro Tools, holding the Loop button while pressing one of the other Trans-
port Control buttons gives access to additional functions. Further information on how to access these
functions can be found in the DirectLink User Guide for Pro Tools.
Default Operation
These buttons send standard MIDI CC, MIDI note, MMC (MIDI Machine Control), or other advanced
MIDI messages based on the parameter they are assigned to. See Appendix A, “Standard MIDI Control
Numbers (MIDI CC’s)” and Appendix B, “Assignable MIDI CC’s.” When a button is pressed, the LCD
screen will display the assigned MIDI message (for example “cc 74”), its name (for example “E9”), and the
value sent. This will also be the case when it is released. If the Control Mute function (See “Additional
Functions” on page 12) is active it is deactivated when on of these buttons is pressed.
All Axiom Transport buttons are fully assignable as described in Chapter 5, “Advanced Programming
Functions.”
