Using Axiom Pro

Axiom Pro operates in one of two primary modes: Performance Mode and Edit Mode. Most of the time, the keyboard will be in Performance Mode so that you can play your synthesizers and control your audio software. This section covers the operation of the keyboard when it is in Performance Mode. Please see the “Edit Mode” section of this guide to learn how Axiom Pro functions when the keyboard is in Edit mode.

Overview and Basic Operation:

The LCD Screen

When Axiom Pro is in Performance Mode, the LCD screen (shown below) gives you a quick overview of the keyboard. The contents of the screen may change slightly depending on what type of control (i.e., knob, slider, pad, etc.) was used most recently, but the basic layout remains the same.
