3.5 Pressure Pads

The eight pressure pads on your Axiom are unique controls. As you apply more pressure to a pad, a higher value of effect is transmitted. The
pads can also be used as triggers for composing drum patterns, or triggering samples and loops.
You can program the pads to any of the controllers listed in Appendix G.
If you program a controller number from 0 to 144, the pad sends a value according to the pressure you apply.
If you program a controller number from 145 up to 156, the pad works as a trigger, sending a single value when you press the pad, and another
value when you release it.
Some useful settings for these pads are:
3.5.1 Sample/Loop Triggers With MIDI Notes
Setting a pad to controller 147 sets the pad to send a MIDI Note On message when you press it, and a MIDI Note Off message when you release
it. This is useful when triggering samples on your external MIDI gear or software. When you program a pad to controller 148, the MIDI Note Off
message is not sent until you press the pad a second time (toggle effect). This can be useful if you want to keep a loop playing continuously.
To program the pads to send a MIDI note on/off message:
