Preset 5: Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600
To use this preset:
Click on the TimewARP 2600 logo.
<
Select Load MIDI map.
<
Select the default map and click OK.
<
The trigger pads are assigned to send controller data in this preset. The pads on the left will control the filter cut-off and
resonance. The other pads can be assigned to any control you choose. To assign the pads, hold down SHIFT (Windows) or
CONTROL (Mac) and click on a control. Make sure "MIDI learn" is ticked in TimewARP's Global MIDI Map Settings dialog.
Then, press a pad.
Preset 6: Wizoo Darbuka/Latigo
Wizoo's Darbuka and Latigo are VST/AU/RTAS plug-ins so you must access these applications within a host application. Make
sure the MIDI input to the host is set to be your Axiom keyboard. Set one of the tracks in the host to output to Darbuka or
Latigo. Please consult the documentation for the host to see how this is done. To make the most of the Wizoo preset, the
host should be set to transmit on all MIDI channels to Darbuka or Latigo.
Presets 7 to 12: Propellerhead Reason
Each Reason module is specifically covered by these presets, except for Redrum. Redrum is always triggered by the trigger
pads no matter which Reason preset is selected. To set up your Axiom keyboard to control the desired Reason module:
Select the Edit menu (Windows) or Reason menu (Mac), followed by "Preferences."
<
Select Advanced MIDI from the Page drop-down menu.
<
Select your Axiom keyboard as the Bus A device. Close the Preferences dialog.
<
In the MIDI IN device section at the top of the Reason rack, select the desired module in the Channel 1 box.
<
In the MIDI IN device section, select Redrum in the Channel 10 box.
<
You may wish to alter the channel settings of presets 7 to 12 so that you can control two Reason modules at once. In the
MIDI IN device section at the top of the Reason rack, simply set the Channel 2 device to a different module from the Channel
1 device , for example. This way there is no need to keep changing the module that Channel 1 is assigned to.
Presets 17 and 20: Ableton Live / Unassigned MIDI controllers
These presets use MIDI controller assignments that are undefined in the General MIDI specification. This means that there is
a reduced risk of altering a MIDI control by accident with this preset selected. Many applications do not have their parameters
set up with default MIDI controllers. Most of these applications allow you to set up the controllers in the software yourself.
You should consult the documentation for your application to see how this is done. For applications that learn the MIDI
controllers for their parameters, you should select this preset.
Preset 20 is similar to preset 17, but the encoders are set up to send increment or decrement messages for the MIDI
controllers they are assigned. The encoders will send data in relative (binary offset) format when this preset is selected.
Preset 18, 19 and 20: Unassigned MIDI controllers with increment/decrement
These presets use MIDI controller assignments that are undefined in the General MIDI specification. In addition, the encoders
are set up to utilize endless dial data formats. Preset 18 provides an inc/dec data format used by Linplug VST instruments such
as daOrgan and CronoX. Preset 20 provides an inc/dec method used by Native Instruments in applications including Reaktor
and Absynth. Since most of these applications use a MIDI learn feature for assigning controllers to their various parameters,
you will need to consult your application's documentation to see how this is achieved. Preset 19 covers another inc/dec
method known as "2's compliment."
Note: If Group A is active, all the presets will send a program change when recalled. This is in order to set up the Zone
information in a sequencer. If you wish to avoid sending a program change when changing presets, simply turn off group A.
