For example, if the "MIDI CC" parameter is assigned to "64" (Sustain), and the Press 1 is assigned to "127" whereas the "Press 2" parameter is set to "0", your button or drum pad can be used to simulate the functionality of a sustain pedal. One press will engage, while pressing the button again will disengage MIDI sustain. This parameter lets your selected button or drum pad generate a MIDI note. The "On Vel" number determines the velocity of the note whereas the "Off Vel" determines the release velocity when the button or drum pad is released. In many cases, the "Off Vel" parameter should be set to "0" to generate a regular "note off" command. This parameter lets your selected button or drum pad toggle between two MIDI note values. For example, if the "Note" parameter is set to "C-1, " while "Press 1" is set to "127" and "Press 2" is set to "0", you can tap the pad once to trigger the note and tap it a second time to stop the note.

Once Axiom Pro is configured as a generic remote device, the sliders and encoder knobs can be re-assigned to control Cubase in any way that suits your personal preference. By default, the Sliders and Encoders mirror the General MIDI assignments used in Axiom Pro Patch 1. [. . . ]
