3.5.4 Pressure Control

Using the pressure control, the pads give you a different type of performance option on your Axiom. You can control parameters on your software in a way that would not be possible on a standard dial or slider. The pressure pads can be used to make some very interesting effects.

As we’ve seen above, each pad can be assigned an individual MIDI controller number. It is also possible to assign minimum and maximum values to the controller. As you apply more and more pressure to the pad, the value of the controller you are sending will increase, until the maximum value you specified is reached. On release, the pad will return to the minimum value you specified.

To set the controller for a pressure pad with a minimum and maximum value:

49- and 61-note versions:

<Select the pad as described in section 2.

<Press the Ctrl Assign button.

<The LCD display will show the currently assigned controller for the pad.

<Enter the controller number from Appendix C that you want the pad to send.

<If you want to specify a minimum value limit, press the Data 2 button and enter the minimum value.

<If you want to specify a maximum value limit, press the Data 3 button and enter the maximum value.

25-note version:

<Select the pad as described in section 2.

<Press the Advanced button.

<Press the Ctrl Assign key.

<The LCD display will show the currently assigned controller for the pad

<Enter the controller number from Appendix C that you want the pad to send, using the numeric data entry keys. Press the Enter key to confirm.

<If you want to specify a minimum value limit, press the Advanced button, followed by the Data 2 key and enter the minimum value. Press the Enter key to confirm.

<If you want to specify a maximum value limit, press the Advanced button, followed by the Data 3 key and enter the maximum value. Press the Enter key to confirm.

3.5.5Pad Curve

The Pad Curve setting is used to set the response curve of all eight pads. It is not possible to set the response curve of the pads independently.

There are nine velocity response curves and three fixed curves.

To change the velocity curve for the pads:

49- and 61-note versions:

<Press the Bank LSB and Bank MSB buttons together to access the Pad Curve setting.

<The LCD will show the currently selected pad curve. Proceeded by a ‘C’ if a curve is selected, or ‘F’ if a fixed velocity* is selected.

<Enter the new curve number using the numeric keypad or use the -/+ keys to step through the options.

25-note version:

<Press the Advanced button.

<Press the Curve key twice.

<The LCD will show “Pd” on the small 2-digit display as well as the currently selected velocity curve on the 3-digit display.The current curve is preceded by a C if a curve is selected, or ‘F’ if a fixed velocity* is selected.

<Enter the new curve number using the numeric data entry keys or use the -/+ keys to step through the options.

<Press the Enter key to confirm the Pad Curve setting.
