Axiom 25 (2nd generation) and other questions

Post by robosanta » Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:43 pm

A few questions, some related to Axiom 25 (2nd gen) and others related to recording:

1) When using DirectLink mode with an Axiom 25 (2nd gen), is there some buttons I can press on the Axiom to switch the currently selected device? Like to move that little blue hand to the next device over? I tried using the Shift + Bank button and it doesn't do anything. This is in Live version 8.1.5.

2) How do you setup the pads on the Axiom 25 to work as toggles? I want to be able to hit the pad once to turn off a filter, and hit it again to turn it back on. All I can get now is it having the filter on while the pad is pressed and off when it's released. With the P-button off (so I'm out of DirectLink and in regular MIDI), I followed the instructions from M-Audio here: http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=sup ... 0cdcd7a562 and did exactly what they said. I mapped the first pad to CC 102 with Data 2/Min at 0 and Data 3/Max at 127. But it only hits 127 when i hit the pad, and when I release it it goes back to 0. I want it to go to 127 the first hit, and stay at 127 when I release, then go to 0 on the second hit.

3) Is there a way to map the "start recording a new clip" action to a MIDI button?

4) Is there a way to specify that the new clip I am about to record should be only X bars long, so it auto-loops as I record?
