M-Audio Axiom Pro manual An Unsynchronized Slider, Synchronized Slider

Axiom Pro User Guide	41
Parameter:	Drawbar
Value Range:	Off, On
	This parameter engages Drawbar Mode. When this mode is engaged, the operation of the sliders
	is reversed and the maximum MIDI CC value (127) is reached when the slider is at the bottom
	whereas the minimum CC value (0) is reached when the slider is pushed to the top. This operation
	mimics the behavior of typical organs with draw bars.

Parameter:	NullMode
Value Range:	Off, On
	When this parameter is set to its default “on” position, the MIDI output of the sliders is muted if the
	physical slider is out-of-sync with the “expected” position of the slider shown on the LCD display.
	This prevents associated parameters within your audio applications from potentially “jumping” or
	“snapping” to a different MIDI CC value as soon as a slider is moved.
	Unsynchronized sliders feature a horizontal line across the LCD display’s on-screen fader 1 that
	represents its expected position. A square represents the location of the physical slider 2 . Once
	the square moves over the line, the physical and on-screen sliders are synchronized 3 and that
	slider begins to output MIDI data once again.

An Unsynchronized

Slider

1.Your DAW (or Virtual Instrument) is expecting the slider to be in this

position.

2.This is the actual position of the

hardware slider on

Axiom Pro.

ASynchronized Slider

3. Once the hardware

slider passes over the “expected” slider

position, the slider

becomes synchronized

and linked.

When this parameter is set to “off,” the horizontal line representing the “expected” slider position does not appear.

Note that the values of the Sliders are remembered each time a patch change occurs. When that patch next becomes active, the values are restored.
