M-AUDIO AXIOM49 ユーザーズマニュアル

 

 

 

 
Congratulations on your purchase of an M-Audio Axiom Series MIDI Controller. Designed for both studio and 
stage, Axiom offers 25, 49, or 61 semi-weighted velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch, and DirectLink. Once 
installed and configured, DirectLink automatically maps Axiom faders, buttons, knobs, and Transport 
Controls to numerous functions in qualified versions of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). 
 
Axiom faders, knobs buttons, and trigger pads can be mapped to various parameters in your DAW or virtual 
instrument, by using the DAW's MIDI Learn function (if available), or by manual assignment as described in 
Chapter 5, "Advanced Programming Functions."  

Refer to the documentation provided with your software for further information about its MIDI Learn 
capabilities and functions. For a current list of qualified recording applications, the most recent Windows 
drivers, and DirectLink installers and User Guides, visit www.m-audio.com. 
 
A single USB connection not only sends MIDI data to the computer, but also provides power to the device. 
Axiom functions as a class-compliant device, and will be recognized by a host computer without the need for 
additional drivers. However, downloading and installing the latest Axiom drivers (from www.m-audio.com) is 
strongly recommended before installing DirectLink, controlling more than one application at the same time, or 
simultaneously using other class-compliant USB audio devices. Otherwise, connect Axiom to an available 
USB port on a computer using the included USB cable, and set the power switch to the On position. 
 
The 5-pin MIDI connectors transmits MIDI data to and from Axiom when controlling external hardware 
synthesizers or sound modules. Axiom will also function as a USB MIDI interface between a host computer 
and external MIDI hardware while connected via USB. 
 
For more information about installing drivers on Windows systems, as well as Axiom setup and DAW 
configuration for Windows and Mac OS X, see Chapter 2, "Driver Installation." Further information on 
installing and configuring DirectLink can be found in the appropriate DirectLink User Guide at 

www.m-audio.com/hypercontrol. (DirectLink is the original name of what M-Audio calls "HyperControl" 
today. The technology is identical—just keep in mind that it might be called "HyperControl" in newer 
documentation you find on our website.)
