Bank Changes - M-Audio Axiom AIR Mini 32 User Manual

To send a Program Change message using the numerical keys:
1. Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.
2. Press the Program Change key.
3. Use the numerical keys (0–9) to enter the desired program number.
4. Press the Enter key. The Edit button will return to half-brightness, indicating that you have selected a
new Program (and that your Axiom is no longer in Edit Mode).
Press both "+" and "–" simultaneously to return to the default program "0."
Returning the Octave Buttons to Octave Mode
To return the Octave buttons to Octave mode:
1. Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.
2. Press the Oct = Octave key. The Edit Mode button will return to half-brightness, indicating that the
Octave buttons control the octave range (and that your Axiom is no longer in Edit Mode).
Pitch Bend & Modulation Rate
Because the keyboard uses buttons to control the Pitch Bend and Modulation functions (as opposed to
variable controls like wheels), we've added a variable rate feature, which lets you set the rate at which these
buttons change pitch or modulation (or MIDI values, in MIDI mode).
Pitch Bend and Modulation Rate keys
To set the Pitch Bend or Modulation rate:
1. Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.
2. Press the Pitch Bend Rate or Modulation Rate key.
3. Use the numerical keys (0–9) to enter the desired setting (0-127). The settings are as follows:
• 0: Ramp occurs slowly, over 2 seconds
• 64 (default, center): Ramp occurs more quickly
• 126: Ramp occurs very quickly
• 127: No ramp. Value varies instantly from min to max
4. Press the Enter key. The Edit button will return to half-brightness, indicating that you have set the Pitch
Bend or Modulation rate (and that your Axiom is no longer in Edit Mode).

Bank Changes

If you have a need to switch between banks of programs on a connected instrument, you can send MIDI
Program Changes and Bank LSB (Least Significant Byte) and Bank MSB (Most Significant Byte) messages
right from Axiom.
Most instruments have fewer than 127 banks of programs, so bank-switching can be done purely by sending
a Bank LSB message (0-127). Bank MSB messages are useful when very large numbers of banks are
present. For more information, see your instrument's user guide.
