HyperControl for Pro Tools Axiom Pro 1

What is HyperControl?

HyperControl is a powerful new technology that automatically maps your Axiom Pro controls (i e , knobs, buttons, sliders , etc ) to the
1
on-screen controls of Pro Tools and all of its RTAS or TDM plug-ins and virtual instruments This helps you make music more quickly
since you no longer have to perform the tedious and time-consuming task of assigning MIDI controls
Furthermore, since HyperControl is a two-way communication protocol, your Axiom Pro hardware and Pro Tools software always
remain synchronized with each other For example, if a knob is turned on Axiom Pro, its corresponding knob in Pro Tools will update
Alternatively, if an on-screen knob is turned within Pro Tools (using the mouse), the corresponding knob position of Axiom Pro (as
shown on the LCD display) updates as well If a new instrument (or a different preset within the same instrument) is loaded, the
parameter names and various button, knob, and slider positions automatically update on the Axiom Pro display This makes Axiom Pro
feel like a "dedicated" hardware controller since the knobs and LCD screen are "tightly" integrated with Pro Tools and always reflect
what is currently happening within your software
Finally, HyperControl allows for more than just MIDI data to be sent from Axiom Pro—ASCII keystrokes can also be sent, emulating
Pro Tools keyboard shortcuts This allows the controller to have "deep" integration into Pro Tools, and allows things like zoom presets,
markers, copy, undo and many other features to be controlled right from Axiom Pro This minimizes the amount of time you must
spend using a mouse to control your software
In short, these features let you use Pro Tools more intuitively and give you more "hands on" control of your software to inspire your
creativity
Only available on Axiom 49/61
