How to set trigger pads on the Axiom 25 for Live Impulse?

I'd like to set the trigger pads on my M-Audio Axiom 25 midi controller such that the 8 drum sounds of a Live Impulse softsynth are triggered by the pads.
On the keyboard of the Axiom, Middle C triggers the bass drum, D the snare, etc.
But I can't set the pads to trigger the drum sounds.
Anybody out there who can help?
