Axiom 25 - 8 knobs not working w/ live...

Post by Grahambo! » Mon Jun 18, 2007 3:05 pm

For anyone who uses an Axiom series controller, or would just like to help a brother out:
Howdy. I'm new to Live, sort of. New to my Axiom. New to MIDI in general. Just been messing around for a couple months.

The 8 knobs on my Axiom 25 aren't being read by Live or any of the plug-ins (Massive, FM8). I downloaded Enigma, which was useless and didnt seem to do anything, no matter how many times I tried (I read the directions, so dont think I'm just stupid, haha). So i made all my zones and stuff manually. But when I go into a plugin to assign the knobs, they arent read.
My Axiom's LCD shows the knobs' values changing, which is a good sign, but even when I press "midi-learn" nothing happens. The keys work. The transport keys work too, I think. And the Modulation wheel works and is assignable.

Any thoughts on what I should do? I checked my Live settings, it's all good (i.e. Remote is checked, input is correct, etc).

Well, I can't help you (maybe you've already figured it out) but I'm in the same boat-My Axiom 25's keys, pads, transport controls all work (NOT the mod wheel- though the pitch bend does) and I can't assign any parameters to any of my Axiom's knobs.

I do it like they say:

Click the midi button-
Choose a parameter
Adjuist the control knob-
and... nothin'.

(There is this whole issue of presets 17-20 being relevant to the Axiom's learning fuction. I had no luck getting my pads up and responding til I used preset 18(?)

I'm new to MIDI but this ain't working like it should. I know it's human error, BUT WHAT???
I just got this thing yesterday (and I'm using Live Lite) so it's already great for playing, but I sure would like to assign some stuff to the encoders/knobs.
So, if you figure this out, PLEASE let me know.
(I also have the Enigma software, but it doesn't seem to help)

OP goto settings and look in the Midi section. You should see a Midi Ports section on the bottom of the page. Make sure that Track and Remote next to USB Axiom 25 (Port 1) and (Port 2) are set to ON. Tab to the mixer page, click the Midi button on the top right, then click on one of the Send knobs on any channel. When it's selected turn one of the knobs on the Axiom and you should see it mapped on the right hand side. Click the Midi button on the top right again, and it is mapped. **You need to turn the knob down to 1 and all the way up to 127 for it to work. After the inicial turning it will work fine. Let me know if this solved you problem...
