Trigger Pads
You can easily assign sounds from the keyboard to the trigger pads by using the Pad Learn function. This
can be useful if you want to use the trigger pads to send certain MIDI notes to trigger a sound in your virtual
instrument.

Global MIDI Channel
The "global" MIDI channel is the default MIDI channel over which Axiom sends MIDI messages. Because this
is a global setting, it applies across all memory locations, overridden only by custom channel selections for
controls in MIDI Mode.
To set the global MIDI Channel:
1.
Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.
2.
Press the MIDI Channel key.
3.
Use the numerical keys (0–9) to enter the desired MIDI channel (1-16).
4.
Press the Enter button to save the new global MIDI channel assignment, or press Cancel or Edit to exit
Edit Mode and discard any new settings.
MIDI Panic
When you trigger a MIDI Panic message, it sends an "All Notes Off" message on all channels and through all
outputs. This is useful when a connected hardware or software synthesizer has a stuck Note On.
To send a MIDI Panic message:
1.
Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.
2.
Press the MIDI Panic key. An "All Notes Off" MIDI message will be sent. Your Axiom will automatically
exit Edit Mode.
