14 Press the Edit button.
15 Press the Data 3 key. The LCD screen will read “MSb” and display the currently selected control (for exam-
ple “E1”), and the current value (for example “87”).
16 Enter the value to be transmitted via MIDI CC 99 (MSB) using the number keys.
17 Press the Enter key.
For an in-depth explanation of RPN/NRPN MIDI messages and their usage, refer to Chapter 7, “MIDI Messages
Defined.”
SysEx Messages and Device ID
When transmitting SysEx messages, the individual control channel number does not define a transmit chan-
nel, but a Device ID. This being the case, when the Channel Assign key is pressed, the LCD screen will display
the Device ID.
Device IDs range between 0 – 127. In most cases, the Device ID should be set to 127 so that all devices will re-
ceive the SysEx message.
The Device ID for a SysEx message assigned to a control cannot be changed using the Device ID key. This key
is used for changing the global Device ID of Axiom.
For more information, refer to the SysEx section in Chapter 7, “MIDI Messages Defined.”
Non-Volatile Memory
Axiom features non-volatile memory, which automatically saves the current state of operation when the de-
vice is powering down. The current control and channel assignments are stored even if the Save function has
not been used.
The Program, Bank LSB and Bank MSB data, Global Channel settings, MIDI Out from USB, Velocity Lock, and
the last Axiom preset used are also stored and recalled the next time Axiom is powered up.
Restoring the Factory Settings
Factory default settings can be restored by holding down the Patch “Up” and “Down” buttons during
power-up. At this point all previously saved data will be erased.
Axiom factory preset 16 is already configured with NRPN controls for Yamaha XG and Roland GS
synthesizers.
