Other Controls

Directional Buttons

The Directional buttons can be used to control certain supported software features. Press the HyperControl button next to the Directional buttons to enable this function.

Trigger Pads

The trigger pads can be used to trigger drum or instrument sounds mapped by your software, but they have additional functions in HyperControl Mode (depending on your software's specific implementation of HyperControl). Press the HyperControl button next to the trigger pads to enable this function.

Identifying Control Assignments

Whether you're in HyperControl Mode or using your own control assignments, it can be helpful to see which hardware control is assigned to which software parameter.

To check the control assignment of a hardware control:

1.Press and hold the Identify button, or double-press it to "latch" it on. All control output from Axiom AIR will be temporarily halted, and the button will flash red.

2.Manipulate the control you want to identify. The assigned parameter and its current setting will appear on the LCD.

3.To go back to normal operation, release the Identify button or, if you latched it, press it once again.

Controlling Ignite

Ignite, included with your Axiom AIR, is a creative tool designed for rapid and fluid capture, refinement, and sharing of musical ideas. You can use it on its own or as a counterpart to your favorite DAW.

Axiom AIR keyboards come pre-configured to control Ignite through HyperControl. When you launch Ignite with your Axiom AIR connected to the computer, you can use Axiom AIR's controls in the following ways:

Transport Controls

Press the HyperControl Mix Mode button ( button) on the main control panel, and then use the transport buttons to control those transport functions in Ignite.

Navigation

Use the Directional buttons to navigate through Ignite's tabs and sub-menus, depending on the current control focus.

Instruments

Refer to your Ignite's HyperControl user guide (at m-audio.com/hypercontrol) to see which parameter is assigned to each control.
