For example, if you want to store the settings for the trigger pads only:

49- and 61-note versions:

<Press the Store button.

<Press group button C to activate group C only.

<The LCD display will now only flash the Group C symbol.

<Use the numeric keypad to enter the memory location to store the Pad settings.

25-note version:

<Press Advanced.

<Press the Store key.

<Press the REC button to activate group C.

<The LCD display will now only flash the Group C symbol.

<Use the numeric data entry keys to enter the memory location.

<Press Enter to overwrite the selected memory location.

Note: When recalling a preset, only the groups currently active at that time are recalled.

3.2.2 Storing Your Presets on a Computer

It is possible to store the entire memory contents of your Axiom on a Mac, PC or a hardware sequencer. This is done using the Memory Dump feature which sends a MIDI SysEx dump to the connected device.

You can record the SysEx data to a MIDI track on a sequencer, or we recommend using M-Audio’s Enigma software to store and manage you Axiom controller presets.

To send the entire memory contents of your Axiom to a computer:

49- and 61-note versions:

<Press Store and Recall together to initiate the Memory Dump feature.

<The LCD display will flash SYS while the Axiom is transmitting its Memory content.

<Do not touch your Axiom until the SysEx dump has completed and the LCD display has returned to normal.

25-note version:

<Press the Advanced button.

<Press the Mem Dump key.

<The LCD display will flash SYS while the Axiom is transmitting its Memory content.

<Do not touch your Axiom until the SysEx dump has completed and the LCD display has returned to normal.

By sending an externally stored SysEx dump back through the MIDI IN or the USB port on your Axiom, it is possible to reprogram the memory just as it was saved.

Note: The SysEx data will program the 20 memory locations on your Axiom. It does NOT affect the current control settings on your Axiom.All current settings and assignments remain unchanged until you recall one of the 20 memory locations.

3.2.3 Device ID

On the 49- and 61-note versions, you can define the device ID of your specific Axiom keyboard when sending a SysEx memory dump. The device ID is used to distinguish between any number of connected Axiom keyboards, if you own more than one.

The 25-note version does not have a device ID feature and so the device ID remains hard coded at 127. (127 is also the default device ID for the 49- and 61-note versions.) With the device ID set to 127, your Axiom responds to any SysEx memory dump that it reads at the MIDI IN or USB port – even if the received memory dump specifies a different device ID.

If you change the device ID to any number other than 127, the device will only respond to SysEx memory dumps which were originally recorded on the same device ID number.

To change the default device ID on Axiom 49 or 61, simultaneously press the Ctrl Assign and Store buttons, then enter the desired device ID using the numeric keypad or the -/+ buttons.
