M-AUDIO 32 ユーザーズマニュアル

 

 

 

Edit Mode lets you reconfigure your Axiom's controls and functions in a variety of ways. Please see Edit 
Mode Functions in the Appendix for a full-page illustration of all Axiom A.I.R. Mini 32 advanced functions, 
which you can print and use as a quick visual reference.  

 

 

By default, the Octave "+" and "–" buttons shift the keyboard's range up or down one octave at a time. Each 
time you power up your Axiom, the octave setting will be at the default value of "0," and the buttons will be 
red in color at half-brightness.  

 

When you use the "+" button to raise the octave of the keyboard, it will either illuminate or flash at full-
brightness based on the octave chosen. The "–" will remain at half-brightness. Pressing the "–" button has 
the opposite effect; it will illuminate or flash at full-brightness based on the octave chosen, while the "+" 
button will remain at half-brightness.  

 

Each octave is identified by color, as follows: 

• 

Dim red: 0 (default) 

• 

Green: +1 or -1 octave 

• 

Amber: +2 or -2 octaves 

• 

Red: +3 or -3 octaves 

• 

Flashing red: +4 or -4 octaves 

 

 

 

 

The Octave buttons can also be assigned to control two additional MIDI functions: transposition and program 
changes.  

 

 

You can also use the Octave "+" and "–" buttons to transpose the keyboard, raising or lowering its pitch by a 
number of semitones (half-steps) as opposed to an entire octave. For example, if you are playing a song with 
a singer that is having difficulty singing the top notes, you may want to lower the pitch by one or two 
semitones. You can transpose the keyboard a maximum of two octaves in either direction.  

 

To assign the Octave "+" and "–" buttons to the Transpose function: 
1.

 

Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.  

2.

 

Press the Oct = Transpose key. The Edit button will return to half-brightness, indicating the Octave "+" 
and "–" buttons now control transposition (and that your Axiom is no longer in Edit Mode). 

3.

 

Now, you can press the "+" or "–" buttons to raise or lower the pitch, respectively. 

 

Press both "+" and "–" simultaneously to return the keyboard to the default "0" transposition.  
 

 

You can also use the Octave "+" and "–" buttons to send MIDI Program Change messages, moving to the 
next highest or lowest program between 0 and 127. Alternatively, you can use your Axiom's Program Change 
button and the numerical keys (0–9) to enter a desired program number. 

 

To assign the Octave "+" and "-" buttons to send Program Change messages:  
1.

 

Press the Edit button. It will illuminate to full-brightness.  

2.

 

Press the Oct = Program key. The Edit button will return to half-brightness, indicating the Octave "+" 
and "–" buttons now send Program Change messages (and that your Axiom is no longer in Edit Mode). 

3.

 

Now, you can press the "+" or "–" buttons to move to the next highest or lowest program, respectively. 
You can continue playing notes as you move through the programs to hear what each sounds like.
