capture, refinement, and sharing of musical ideas. You can use it on its own or as a counterpart 
to your favorite DAW.

Axiom A.I.R. keyboards come pre-configured to control Ignite through HyperControl. When you 
launch Ignite with your Axiom connected to the computer, you can use Axiom's controls in the 
following ways: 

Transport Controls 

Press the Transport buttons on Axiom A.I.R. Mini 32 to control those transport functions in 
Ignite.  
 

Tabs & Submenus 

 
When you've selected the Sounds, Players, Editors, or Sharing tab at the top of Ignite's 
interface, you can use the left and right Directional buttons on your Axiom to switch between 
those tabs. Additional control features are available for each of the following tabs:  
 

Sounds Tab:

Navigation.

 When the Sounds tab is selected, press the up and down Directional buttons to 

cycle through the Browse Sounds and Edit Sound sections.  

•

 When the Browse Sounds section is selected, use the 

Directional buttons to choose the desired sound category and preset. Once 
you've chosen a sound, press the center Directional button to load it.  

•

Sound Editing.

 When the Edit Sound section is displayed, eight of the most 

common controls for the currently selected sound are mapped to the knobs. 
Ignite displays text labels of the current function of each knob.  

Players Tab: 

Mode Selection. When the Players tab is selected, press the up and 

down Directional buttons to switch the Players function between Chord, Phrase,

MIDI display left, right, up, or down.  

Arranger 

Sound Selection:

 When one of the currently loaded sounds is selected in the Arranger area, 

use the left and right Directional buttons to shift focus from sound to sound.  
 

Mix Control Show/Hide:

 When a sound is selected in the Arranger, use the up and down 

Directional buttons to show or hide the mix controls for that sound.  
 

Trigger Pads 

 
When a Drum kit is loaded and selected, the Trigger Pads are automatically mapped to the 
sounds in the kit. Use the Pad Bank button to switch between two banks of drum sounds in the 
current kit.
