Drawbar Mode

This mode reverses the polarity of Axiom AIR's faders: the fader's lowest physical position sends the maximum value, and the fader's highest physical position sends the minimum value. This is useful for organ instrument plug-ins where the various parameters appear as organ drawbars; the farther down you pull a drawbar, the greater its volume.

To activate Fader Drawbar Mode:

1.Press the Edit button. It will flash red.

2.Press the Drawbar key on the keyboard. The LCD will show whether Fader Drawbar Mode is on or off.

3.Press the Drawbar key or use the up and down Directional buttons to activate/deactivate Fader Drawbar Mode.

4.Press the Enter key to save the new setting, or press Cancel or Edit to exit Edit Mode and discard any changes.

To set the global MIDI Channel:

1.Press the Edit button. It will flash red.

2.Press the MIDI Chan key on the keyboard. The currently selected channel will appear on the LCD.

This is the default hardware MIDI output port over which Axiom AIR sends MIDI messages. Because this is a global setting, it applies across all memory locations, overridden only by custom channel selections for controls in MIDI Mode.

To set the global MIDI output port:

1.Press the Edit button. It will flash red.

2.Press the MIDI Out key on the keyboard. MIDI Out will appear on the LCD with the current setting:

•USB: Sends MIDI over the USB port only.
