Other Controls 

Directional Buttons 

 
The Directional buttons can be used to control certain supported software features. Press the 
HyperControl button next to the Directional buttons to enable this function. 
 

Trigger Pads 

 
The trigger pads can be used to trigger drum or instrument sounds mapped by your software, but they 
have additional functions in HyperControl Mode (depending on your software's specific 
implementation of HyperControl). Press the HyperControl button next to the trigger pads to enable 
this function. 
 

Identifying Control Assignments 

 
Whether you're in HyperControl Mode or using your own control assignments, it can be helpful to see 
which hardware control is assigned to which software parameter. 
 

To check the control assignment of a hardware control: 

1.

Press and hold the Identify button, or double-press it to "latch" it on. All control output from 
Axiom AIR will be temporarily halted, and the button will flash red. 

2.

Manipulate the control you want to identify. The assigned parameter and its current setting will 
appear on the LCD. 

3.

To go back to normal operation, release the Identify button or, if you latched it, press it once 
again. 

Controlling Ignite 

 
Ignite, included with your Axiom AIR, is a creative tool designed for rapid and fluid capture, 
refinement, and sharing of musical ideas. You can use it on its own or as a counterpart to your 
favorite DAW.

current control focus.
