Load Button ­ This button brings up a prompt allowing you to load patches stored in Axiom Pro Loading of patches is covered in the "Function Buttons and Soft Keys" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Save Button ­ This button brings up a prompt allowing you to save the current settings of your Axiom Pro Saving of patches is covered in the "Function Buttons and Soft Keys" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Hold (Load + Save Buttons) ­ By default, the LCD screen displays the position and status of the last control that was moved For example, if the screen is displaying the status of the drum pad group and you turn an encoder knob, the LCD will immediately switch to the encoder group, highlight the encoder that was turned, and display that encoder's associated parameter and value on the lower-left side of the screen Whenever you change pages using the Soft-Keys, the LCD screen displays the parameter names assigned to each encoder knob In certain cases, you may wish to "hold" this information on the LCD screen, preventing the screen from changing to a graphical representation when a control is moved To do this, simultaneously press and hold the Save and Load buttons When the display is locked, if you move a control outside the"locked" group, you will still see the control's parameter name and value in the display, but the text on the LCD screen will remain in place Pressing the Save and Load buttons again will disable the Hold feature Why do I need patches?Note that HyperControl "Transport" and "Normal" modes can be toggled on the fly while HyperControl is active. This lets you switch between HyperControl's automatic track and plug-in parameter mapping to your own custom controller assignments and MIDI mappings. This gives you even more hands-on control over Live features that you frequently use. 11. Zone/Group Button ­ This button switches the functionality of the buttons beneath the sliders (on Axiom Pro 49/61) or Transport control (on Axiom Pro 25) and allows you to select the Performance Groups and Zones When the button is not illuminated (i e , not pressed), the associated buttons send out HyperControl commands When the button is pressed, it becomes illuminated, and the associated buttons can then be used to activate/deactivate Zones and Groups The "Edit Mode > Zones" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide covers this subject in great detail Peek (Edit + Zone/Grp Buttons) ­ You can return to view knob assignments at any time by simultaneously pressing the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons For example, if knob positions are being displayed on screen but you would like to return to the top level screen that shows the encoder assignments press the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons The Peek function also lets you check the current value of a specific knob without changing its corresponding Live parameter To do this, press and hold the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons while moving the desired control This will display the control's current value without causing any changes to your Live Devices or tracks 12. Numerical Keypad 5 ­ The numerical keypad buttons can be programmed to send MIDI commands as well as QWERTY keystrokes (just like a computer keyboard) These QWERTY keystrokes can correspond to your audio application's "keyboard shortcuts" allowing you to access various functions of your software directly from Axiom Pro (i e , without having to touch your computer keyboard) Axiom Pro ships with a variety of pre-programmed patches that map the numerical keypad buttons to popular DAWs (a detailed list of these patches can be found in Appendix A of the Axiom Pro User Guide) See the "Edit Mode > Control" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how to make customized patches for these buttons 9 Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61.

The upper-right corner displays either the type of device or the active track parameters such as 1-8 Pan, 1-8 Send A, etc. [. . . ] All other trademarks contained herein are the property of their respective owners. www. m-audio. com M-AUDIO 5795 Martin Road Irwindale, CA 91706, USA TECHNICAL SUPPORT Visit the M-Audio Online Support Center at www. m-audio. com/support PRODUCT INFORMATION For company and product information visit us on the web at www. m-audio. com [. . . ]
