Essential Downloads

Windows users: Visit m-audio.com/axiomair25 to download the additional drivers for your Axiom AIR to enable HyperControl to work properly (see below). These drivers also let you use your Axiom AIR with more than one application simultaneously and/or in conjunction with other class-compliant USB devices with audio capabilities.

Mac users: You do not need to install any Mac-specific drivers.

HyperControl Installations

Rather than assigning parameters one by one, activating Axiom AIR's HyperControl Mode automatically maps its controls to many of the most frequently used digital audio workstation (DAW) features and settings. When used with a supported DAW, you can control the transport, mixing controls (faders and panning) and virtual instrument or signal processing plug-in parameters. You can also switch between HyperControl and custom MIDI operation on the fly to match your particular needs.

To enable HyperControl with your Axiom AIR, you need to install some additional software, including the Hypercontrol "personality" for your specific DAW. Visit m-audio.com/hypercontrol for a current list of DAWs that support HyperControl.

Also, see the HyperControl section of this manual for more information.

Additional Installations

We also highly recommend installing the following software applications:

Ableton Live Lite: We've included Ableton Live Lite with your Axiom AIR so you can get started making music with professional software right out of the box. Insert the DVD into your computer's DVD drive, open the "setup" application or .exe (Windows) or .mpkg file (Mac), and then follow the on-screen instructions to install the software. Also, visit ableton.com to check for any available software updates.

Ignite (airmusictech.com/getignite): We recommend downloading Ignite, a music creation tool designed by AIR Music Technology to be easiest way to capture, build, and share musical ideas. Ignite works well on its own or as a writing companion to the production capabilities of your DAW. Axiom AIR's controls are fully integrated with Ignite, providing easy control of common tasks like preset selection, parameter control, and interface navigation. See the Controlling Ignite section of this manual for more information.

Quick Start

1.Use the included USB cable to connect your Axiom AIR to an available USB port on your computer. (If you are connecting to a USB hub, ensure that it is a powered hub.) When connected properly, and when your computer is on, power Axiom AIR on using the power switch on its rear panel. Its buttons, fader button, knobs, trigger pads, and LCD will illuminate.

2.Open your digital audio workstation (DAW).

Windows users: Visit m-audio.com/axiomair25 and download the Axiom AIR drivers to enable HyperControl to work properly. (Please see the Essential Downloads section above.)

3.You may need to open your DAW's Preferences and select your Axiom AIR as the control surface or device. See your software's documentation for more information.
