HyperControl for Ableton Live | User Guide | 6 Controlling Live through Axiom Pro and HyperControl Live includes a variety of different "Devices" and "Racks" that can be created and added to each track in your session You can switch between controlling specific track Devices (and Devices within a Rack or "Chain" of effects) by using the Mode button on Axiom Pro The Mode button will toggle between Mixer control (which lets you adjust track volume, pan and send amounts) and Device control, which automatically maps Macro and Device-specific parameters to the Axiom Pro encoder knobs In Mixer mode, the Axiom Pro sliders 4 and transport buttons will control track volume and Live's transport, respectively The encoders will automatically map to track Pan and Send parameters 5 The track < and > buttons will allow you to select the previous and next tracks in your session In Device mode, encoders are mapped to Rack Macro knobs by default For tracks that use single Devices that are not combined within a Rack, the Axiom Pro knobs are mapped to the Device's parameters Additionally, the Axiom Pro knobs can automatically be linked to other Device parameters on a track simply by selecting the Device you wish to control from the Device pane below the Tracks in Session/Arrangement view For example, if you wish to use HyperControl to control a track that uses Filter Delay, simply select the Filter Delay from the track's chain of effects The Axiom Pro controls will automatically map to the Filter Delay's parameters 4 Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61 On Axiom Pro 25, the encoders default to control track volume. The four soft keys give access to the Volume, Pan, Send A and Send B parameters respectively. 5 HyperControl for Ableton Live | User Guide | 7 Axiom Pro Hardware Controls 9 6 10 11 2 3 5 8 1 4 7 1.

Soft-Keys ­ These four buttons access the HyperControl menus (known as "Pages") displayed along the bottom of the LCD screen Each page contains various parameters that correspond to the on-screen parameters of Live Devices and Racks 6 Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61. On Axiom Pro 25, the encoders default to control track volume. The four soft keys give access to the Volume, Pan, Send A and Send B parameters respectively. 7 HyperControl for Ableton Live 7. | User Guide | 8 Transport Controls ­ These buttons have different functions depending on whether you're in Session or Arrangement view Control LOOP REWIND FAST FORWARD STOP PLAY RECORD Mapping in Session View TRIGGER SCENE SCENE UP SCENE DOWN STOP PLAY RECORD Mapping in Arrangement View LOOP ON/OFF REWIND FAST FORWARD STOP PLAY RECORD 8.

Load Button ­ This button brings up a prompt allowing you to load patches stored in Axiom Pro Loading of patches is covered in the "Function Buttons and Soft Keys" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Save Button ­ This button brings up a prompt allowing you to save the current settings of your Axiom Pro Saving of patches is covered in the "Function Buttons and Soft Keys" section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Hold (Load + Save Buttons) ­ By default, the LCD screen displays the position and status of the last control that was moved For example, if the screen is displaying the status of the drum pad group and you turn an encoder knob, the LCD will immediately switch to the encoder group, highlight the encoder that was turned, and display that encoder's associated parameter and value on the lower-left side of the screen Whenever you change pages using the Soft-Keys, the LCD screen displays the parameter names assigned to each encoder knob In certain cases, you may wish to "hold" this information on the LCD screen, preventing the screen from changing to a graphical representation when a control is moved To do this, simultaneously press and hold the Save and Load buttons When the display is locked, if you move a control outside the"locked" group, you will still see the control's parameter name and value in the display, but the text on the LCD screen will remain in place Pressing the Save and Load buttons again will disable the Hold feature Why do I need patches?Doesn't HyperControl assign controls automatically?Note that HyperControl "Transport" and "Normal" modes can be toggled on the fly while HyperControl is active. This lets you switch between HyperControl's automatic track and plug-in parameter mapping to your own custom controller assignments and MIDI mappings.
