When using HyperControl, many of the Axiom Pro controls (i e , buttons, knobs, transport controls, etc ) are automatically
assigned to the on-screen controls of your software However, you can customize the numerical keypad 12 and
performance controls (the drum pads, keyboard zones, sustain/expression pedals, etc ) to your personal preference by

useful when working with MIDI tracks that route to external MIDI hardware devices (e.g. synthesizers) as it allows
transmission of customized MIDI messages such as standard MIDI CC data.
To do this, enter Edit Mode and change the "HyperControl" parameter (on the main menu) from "Normal" to
"Transport. " For more information, see the "Edit Mode" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide.
Note that HyperControl "Transport" and "Normal" modes can be toggled on the fly while HyperControl is active.
This lets you switch between "normal" HyperControl assignments and an additional set of your own custom
controller assignments that you can specifically tailor to the external MIDI devices you wish to control.
11. Zone/Group Button – This button switches the functionality of the buttons beneath the Sliders (on Axiom Pro 49/61) or
Transport Control (on Axiom Pro 25) and allows you to select the Performance Groups and Zones When the button is not
illuminated (i e , not pressed), the associated buttons send out HyperControl commands When the button is pressed, it
becomes illuminated, and the associated buttons can then be used to activate/deactivate Zones and Groups The

The Peek function also lets you check the current value of a specific knob without changing its corresponding Pro Tools
parameter To do this, press and hold the Edit and Zone/Group buttons while moving the desired control This will list the
moved control's current value without causing any changes to your Pro Tools track, insert, or virtual instrument
