Getting Started; Transport Controls - M-Audio Axiom Air 61 User Manual

HyperControl
Rather than assigning parameters one by one, activating Axiom AIR's HyperControl Mode
automatically maps its controls to many of the most frequently used DAW features. This section is a
general outline of HyperControl Mode's features. Keep in mind that features, control behaviors, and
workflows differ between DAWs.
Please note that your specific DAW must have an Axiom AIR HyperControl profile to use this feature.

your DAW.

Getting Started

Depending on the brand and version of your software, you may need to install HyperControl support
software. Follow the setup instructions in the HyperControl User Guide for your specific DAW,
available at m-audio.com/hypercontrol.
After setting up HyperControl, test the transport controls to ensure they are working properly (see next
section).

Transport Controls

All transport controls should respond like their counterparts in your DAW software (Play, Record,
etc.).
To test the transport controls:
1. Connect Axiom AIR to a free USB port on your computer and power it on.
2. Launch your DAW and open a project file.
3. Press Axiom AIR's Play button, and then press its Stop button. If the DAW transport responds to
both commands, HyperControl is working properly.
HyperControl Mix Mode

this easy. After you install your DAW's HyperControl "personality," you can enter HyperControl Mix
Mode, which will automatically map various useful software parameters to Axiom AIR's controls.
