M-Audio Axiom Pro manual About Sysex and Snapshot data

Axiom Pro User Guide	48
Parameter:	Send Patch
Value Range:	Send
	When this parameter is selected, a “Send” option appears for Soft Key 4. Pressing this button
	will send a SysEx dump of the memory contents of the currently loaded Axiom Pro patch out of the
	selected SysEx port (see the SysEx parameter above to select a SysEx output port).
	✓ Tip for advanced MIDI users: It is also possible to trigger this function
	externally using a SysEx message requesting the data. To request the contents of the currently
	loaded patch, the following SysEx messsage must be sent to Axiom Pro:
	F0 00 01 05 20 7F 01 00 F7
	If you would like to transfer the contents of a patch that is not currently loaded, the following
	SysEx message must be sent to Axiom Pro:
	F0 00 01 05 20 7F 05 xx F7
	The placeholder “xx” represents the number of the patch you would like to request. Note that
	this number must be entered as a hexadecimal value (i.e., 01-32 in hexadecimal instead of 0-50
	as a decimal). Please see Appendix G for a decimal-to-hexidecimal conversion chart.

Parameter:	Snapshot
Value Range:	Send
	When this parameter is selected, a “Send”
	option appears for Soft Key 4. Pressing
	this button will send the current values of all
	encoder knobs and sliders (Axiom Pro 49/61
	only). This data is sent out of the MIDI ports
	that have been selected for the Encoder and
	Slider groups. See the “Edit Mode > Group
	(Encoder)” and “Edit Mode > Group (Slider)”
	sections of this guide to learn how to set the
	output ports of a group.

✓About Sysex and Snapshot data:

The “Send All,” “Send Patch,” and “Snapshot,” options sends MIDI data that can be recorded into a sequencer. This information can then be played back to Axiom Pro to quickly set all of the controller assignments or positions to your preferred positions. For example, if you’ve created customized control assignments or would like controls to be set in a certain way before you begin playing

a song, record the “patch” and “snapshot” information at the beginning of a sequence. This way, when the sequencer begins playing back, the assignments and positions will always be in the correct position.

Parameter:	Panic
Value Range:	Send
	When this parameter is selected, a “Send” option appears for Soft Key 4. Pressing this button will
	send an “All Notes Off” (or “Panic”) message on all 16 MIDI channels.
	This feature should be used to stop any “stuck” notes (i.e., notes that continue to play even after the
	key has been released) on your virtual instrument or connected MIDI module.
