3. 操作手順

3.1 キーボードのキー

The Axiom 25 features 25 semi-weighted keys with aftertouch. These keys are velocity-sensitive, meaning the volume and character of the sound will vary based on how hard you press them. Aftertouch allows for additional expressive control by applying pressure to a key after it has been pressed.

3.2 Dynamic Trigger Pads

The 8 dynamic trigger pads are designed for intuitive beat programming and triggering one-shot samples. These pads are also velocity-sensitive, allowing for nuanced rhythmic performances.

3.3 Assignable Control Surface

The controller includes 8 rotary encoder knobs, 1 slider, and 9 buttons. These controls are assignable, allowing you to map them to various parameters within your DAW or virtual instruments. The backlit LCD provides visual feedback for parameter values.

3.4 ピッチベンドとモジュレーションホイール

Use the pitch bend wheel to momentarily raise or lower the pitch of notes for expressive effects. The modulation wheel can be assigned to control various parameters, such as vibrato, filter cutoff, or other effects, adding dynamic movement to your sounds.

3.5 オクターブとトランスポーズボタン

The dedicated Octave Up/Down buttons allow you to shift the entire keyboard range up or down in octaves, extending the playable range beyond the 25 physical keys. Transpose buttons enable shifting the pitch in semitone increments.

3.6 DAW Integration (Direct Link Mode)

The Axiom 25 features Direct Link mode, which provides seamless, automatic mapping to common functions in popular DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Live, and Reason. This eliminates the need for complex manual setup, allowing you to control transport (play, stop, record), mixer functions (volume, pan), and virtual instrument parameters directly from the controller.
