18 Zone Button

This button is used for accessing the individual Zone buttons described above.

Holding down the this button for at least one second, in both Performance and DirectLink Modes, will put

Axiom into Zone Edit Mode. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Keyboard Zones.”

19 Patch Buttons

These buttons function based on the type of operation, as follows:

DirectLink Operation

While Axiom is in Instrument Mode, the Patch buttons scroll up or down through virtual instrument

Patches on the currently selected Track within a qualified DAW. In certain applications these buttons also

allow you to scroll the various devices or plug-ins inserted in the currently selected DAW channel strip.

Refer to the appropriate DirectLink guide for further information.

Default Operation

These buttons allow you to scroll the 20 Axiom Patch presets.

In Edit Mode, the Patch buttons are used to increment/decrement the selected parameter value.

20 Keyboard

The velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keyboard is not only the primary method of sending Note On/ Off

and Velocity data when performing, it is also used to access extended programing functions listed along

its upper edge. For more information on the extended programming functions, refer to Chapter 4, “Ad-

vanced Keyboard Functions.”

• Aftertouch Axiom features a fully assignable Aftertouch Strip. When additional pressure is applied to a

key that has been pressed the Aftertouch Strip will transmit MIDI data based on the assigned MIDI CC.

When pressure is applied to the Strip the LCD screen will display the assigned message type (“CH AT”),

the active keyboard Zone (for example “z1”), and the value sent (for example “0”).

A unique MIDI CC can be assigned to the Aftertouch Strip for each active keyboard Zone, so that the

messages sent are defined by the active Zones.

For more information on reassigning the Strip see Chapter 5, “Advanced Programming Functions.”
