Fader Buttons

Important: Only Axiom AIR 49 and Axiom AIR 61 have the eight fader buttons described in this section. All three keyboards, however, have a master fader button, which serves an identical function but for your Cubase session's master track rather than for a particular track.

On Axiom AIR 49 and Axiom AIR 61, press the Mode button (next to the fader buttons) to cycle through the four modes described below. Use the left or right directional buttons (when they are in Track Select Mode) to select another bank of tracks.

Select Track Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be dimly lit red. Press any of the eight buttons to select any of the eight track(s) of the current bank. The currently selected fader buttons will be dimly lit red.

Mute Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be lit amber. Press any of the eight buttons to mute any of the eight track(s) of the current bank. The currently selected fader buttons will be lit amber.

Solo Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be lit green. Press any of the eight buttons to solo any of the eight track(s) of the current bank. The currently selected fader buttons will be lit green.

Record-Enable Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be fully lit red. Press any of the eight buttons to record-enable any of the eight track(s) of the current bank. The currently selected fader buttons will be fully lit red.
