Using DirectLink
Once installed and configured, DirectLink is activated by launching a qualified DAW application on the host
computer. This automatically maps Axiom controls to functions in your recording software and offers the fol-
lowing modes of operation:
Mixer Mode This is the default mode which maps Axiom Faders, Encoder knobs, and Fader buttons to their cor-
responding DAW mixer functions.
Instrument Mode Pressing the Instrument Mode button (See “Function Buttons” on page 11) switches Di-
rectLink to Instrument Mode, and assigns Axiom controls to virtual instrument parameters within a selected
DAW track.
Because DirectLink configuration and operation varies slightly in different DAW applications, please refer to
the DirectLink documentation for your qualified DAW for further details and installation instructions.
Where applicable, this section provides an overview of these controls using DirectLink, as well as their default
MIDI assignments.
