This parameter functions similarly to the fixed velocity setting found on the Edit Mode > Global page. However, this parameter lets your selected control determine the velocity of the keys in real-time (e. g. during a performance). This parameter functions similarly to the fixed velocity setting found on the Edit Mode > Group (Pads) page. However, this parameter lets your selected control determine the velocity of the drum pads in real-time (e. g.

Standardized MIDI parameters (such as Continuous Controllers "CC" or "Master Volume") are not described in this guide. If you require more information, please note that standard MIDI parameters are well documented on the Internet as well as in a number books about the MIDI protocol.

This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Transpose setting on the Edit Mode > Global page to a specific value. This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Global MIDI Channel setting on the Edit Mode > Global page to a specific value. This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Program setting on the Edit Mode > Global page and transmit that Program change message. This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Bank LSB setting on the Edit Mode > Global page and transmit that Bank LSB change message. This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Bank MSB setting on the Edit Mode > Global page and transmit that Bank MSB change message. This parameter lets you use a button or drum pad to quickly change the Patch setting on the Edit Mode > Global page and load that Axiom Pro patch.

For example, if the "MIDI CC" parameter is assigned to "64" (Sustain), and the Press 1 is assigned to "127" whereas the "Press 2" parameter is set to "0", your button or drum pad can be used to simulate the functionality of a sustain pedal. One press will engage, while pressing the button again will disengage MIDI sustain. [. . . ] Once Axiom Pro is configured as a generic remote device, the sliders and encoder knobs can be re-assigned to control Cubase in any way that suits your personal preference. Please refer to the Cubase user guide to learn how to do this. By default, the Sliders and Encoders mirror the General MIDI assignments used in Axiom Pro Patch 1. For full two-way integration of Axiom Pro with Cubase, please use HyperControl.
