1.LCD Display: This 128x64 pixel display indicates the current status of the Axiom Pro controller. This display changes depending on the currently selected mode of the controller. The “Edit Mode” section of this User Guide covers the various menus and pages of Axiom Pro in detail.

2.Sliders: The Axiom Pro 49/61 controller has nine fully assignable sliders that provide real time control over your MIDI hardware and software through MIDI messages. Each slider is assignable and can be configured to send out many kinds of control data, including MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages. See the “Edit Mode > Control“ and

“Edit Mode > Group (Slider)” sections of this guide to learn how to program these sliders.

3.Encoders: Like the Sliders, these knobs can be configured to control your MIDI-capable hardware and software by sending out many kinds of MIDI commands. See the “Edit Mode” > “Control and Edit Mode > Group (Encoder)” sections of this guide to learn how to program these knobs.

4.Transport Buttons: These buttons allow you to control your DAW application or hardware sequencer through the use of ASCII keystrokes and MIDI Machine Control (MMC) messages. These buttons are customizable and can be reprogrammed to send out other kinds of commands to suit your particular needs. See the “Edit Mode > Control” section of this manual to learn how to set these buttons.

5.Slider Buttons: These illuminated buttons can be configured to control your MIDI hardware and virtual instruments by sending out many kinds of MIDI commands. See the “Edit Mode > Control” and “Edit Mode > Group (Slider)” sections of this guide to learn how to program these buttons.

These buttons can also be programmed to send ASCII keystrokes just like a computer keyboard. These ASCII keystrokes can correspond to your audio application’s “keyboard shortcuts” allowing you to access various features of your software straight from Axiom Pro (i.e., without having to touch your computer keyboard).
