3.5.2Drum Pattern Composition

When you ﬁrst turn your Axiom on, you will ﬁnd that the pressure pads are set up as drum triggers for composing drum patterns in MIDI sequencers.

To set up the drum triggers, you need to program the pads to send speciﬁc MIDI note numbers (see previous section). The note numbers you assign depend on the drums that you want to control. Please refer to Appendix B to see which drums are mapped to which MIDI note numbers. Then, using the Data 1 parameter for each pad on your Axiom, assign that note number to the pad, as described above.
