M-Audio Axiom 49

I believe you can do this with the Zones feature. The keys, pads and knobs are each on their own zone. Each zone can be set to the global midi channel (all channels) or individual channels. If the keys have a different midi channel then the pads, in Live you can specify what the input instrument is for that midi track. Instead of All Instruments, select Axiom channel 1 or what ever channel you selected for the keys or pads. The Axiom user has the details to set up Zones. Maybe a little confusing.

Edit: I think you also need to use Groups. Check out page 28 in the Axiom user guide.

Edit again: After messing around with the Axiom 25, Live preset 18, I discovered the pad are on midi channel 10 and the keyboard zone 1 is on midi channel 1. So in Live, have your drum tracks midi input Axiom channel 10 and the synth tracks midi input Axiom channel 1. By default Live uses all midi inputs for midi tracks, thus causing the pads to trigger the snyth, vice versa.

I purchased my Axiom 25 as an open box so it never came with a user manuel. I watched a video on Youtube to learn how to set the preset 20 but I am having trouble assigning & dumping.

any suggestions?

Is the DUMP for the "Axiom" and the "Axiom 49 61 Classic" the same?

I ask because I'm back to trying to get the automatic mapping working with my Axiom 49 and since Live 7.0 I've *never* gotten an active DUMP button when I choose "Axiom".

Hi Diablodale,

please indeed use the "Classic" Axiom control surface for the Midi Dump. You can find more information on setting up the instant mapping with the Axiom in this Livepack, which will install a lesson into Live´s lessons section:
