Control Select (Ctrl Select)
The Control Select function (CTRL SEL) is used to select a MIDI control (knob, button, fader, or pedal jack) for
editing. This is useful when a control needs to be selected without sending unwanted MIDI data because the
control was moved or pressed.
To select an Axiom control for editing:
1 Press the Edit button.
2 Press the group button that contains the control you want to select.
3 Press the Control Select key.
4 Enter the control's ID number using the number keys.
The Control is now selected for programming, and another advanced function can be selected for further pro-
gramming of the control.
Snapshot
This function sends the current values of all mapped Axiom knobs and faders on the external MIDI out port
to a DAW or virtual instrument. This simultaneously adjusts multiple parameters. When the Edit button is
pressed followed by the Snapshot key, the values are sent immediately, and the LCD screen will read “SNAP”
as the MIDI data is transmitted.
All Axiom controls are labeled with a unique number, such as F1, P2, etc. It is not necessary (or possible)
to enter the letter when following the editing examples below.
Alternatively, if unwanted MIDI transmission is not an issue, an Axiom control can be selected by moving
or pressing it either before or after pressing the edit button.
When a patch is stored, the positional value of each control is saved within the patch as the 'Null' values.
In other words, if you use Axiom controls to set up a virtual instrument or synth and save the settings to
a patch, pressing snapshot after pressing the Edit button, will send the null values to the synth to set the
sound up as programmed.
