HyperControl for Pro Tools
Why do I need patches? Doesn't HyperControl assign controls automatically?
HyperControl technology automatically handles the assignment of most Axiom Pro controls and—in many cases—you will not
need to load or save any Axiom Pro patches However, there are some cases in which you may need to use customized
patches:
1
Using external MIDI hardware If you are using Pro Tools to control hardware MIDI devices (synthesizers, samplers,
etc ), you will need to load a customized patch that assigns MIDI CC values of Axiom Pro controls (encoder knobs,
sliders
, etc ) to the parameters of your hardware device

2
Assigning the performance controls (drum pads, keyboard zones, sustain/expression pedals, etc ) and the numerical
keypad
6
The numerical keypad is not automatically assigned so that you can still customize some of the Axiom Pro controls
to your preference even if HyperControl is in use For example, you can assign Pro Tools keyboard shortcuts to the
buttons of the Axiom Pro keypad Before you begin customizing the keypad, note that Axiom Pro ships from the factory
with a number of useful patches that may already assign the numerical keypad to functions you wish to use Please
see Appendix A at the end of the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how each factory patch is configured
The performance controls are not automatically assigned by HyperControl so that you can set note, zone, and other
assignments to your preference For example, your virtual instrument may require you to assign the pads to send
specific MIDI note or velocity values Alternatively, you may wish to configure keyboard zones in a specific way to help
you accomplish a specific task This can be done through Edit mode Please see the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn
how to do this
3
Running Pro Tools and other audio applications concurrently It is possible to simultaneously use Pro Tools and
other audio applications at the same time When working in this configuration, Pro Tools makes use of HyperControl
technology while your other audio applications are controlled using standard MIDI messages (i e , Axiom Pro acts as a
"traditional" MIDI controller keyboard)
Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61
