What Is HyperControl?
HyperControl is a powerful technology that automatically maps your Axiom Pro controls (i e , knobs, buttons, etc ) to the on-screen controls of Live This helps you make music more quickly since you no longer have to perform the tedious and time-consuming task of assigning MIDI controls Furthermore, since HyperControl is a two-way communication protocol, your Axiom Pro hardware and Live software always remain synchronized to each other For example, if a knob is turned on Axiom Pro, its corresponding knob in Live will update Alternatively, if an on-screen knob is turned within Live (using the mouse), the corresponding knob position of Axiom Pro (as shown on the LCD display) updates as well If a new Live Device is selected (or a different Device within the same Chain), the parameter names and various button, knob, and slider 1 positions automatically update on the Axiom Pro display This makes Axiom Pro feel like a dedicated hardware controller since the knobs and LCD screen are tightly integrated with Live and always reflect what is currently happening within the application Finally, the Axiom Pro controller can generate more than just MIDI commandsQWERTY key commands can also be sent, emulating Live keyboard shortcuts This allows the controller to have deep integration into Live, and allows menu functions like copy, undo and many other features to be controlled right from Axiom Pro This minimizes the amount of time youll spend using the mouse and computer keyboard to control your software In short, these features let you use Live more intuitively and give you more hands on control of your software to inspire your creativity

Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61.

Controlling Live through Axiom Pro and HyperControl

Live includes a variety of different Devices and Racks that can be created and added to each track in your session You can switch between controlling specific track Devices (and Devices within a Rack or Chain of effects) by using the Mode button on Axiom Pro The Mode button will toggle between Mixer control (which lets you adjust track volume, pan and send amounts) and Device control, which automatically maps Macro and Device-specific parameters to the Axiom Pro encoder knobs In Mixer mode, the Axiom Pro sliders 4 and transport buttons will control track volume and Lives transport, respectively The encoders will automatically map to track Pan and Send parameters 5 The track < and > buttons will allow you to select the previous and next tracks in your session In Device mode, encoders are mapped to Rack Macro knobs by default For tracks that use single Devices that are not combined within a Rack, the Axiom Pro knobs are mapped to the Devices parameters Additionally, the Axiom Pro knobs can automatically be linked to other Device parameters on a track simply by selecting the Device you wish to control from the Device pane below the Tracks in Session/Arrangement view For example, if you wish to use HyperControl to control a track that uses Filter Delay, simply select the Filter Delay from the tracks chain of effects The Axiom Pro controls will automatically map to the Filter Delays parameters

Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61 On Axiom Pro 25, the encoders default to control track volume. The four soft keys give access to the Volume, Pan, Send A and Send B parameters respectively.

Load Button This button brings up a prompt allowing you to load patches stored in Axiom Pro Loading of patches is covered in the Function Buttons and Soft Keys section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Save Button This button brings up a prompt allowing you to save the current settings of your Axiom Pro Saving of patches is covered in the Function Buttons and Soft Keys section of the Axiom Pro User Guide Hold (Load + Save Buttons) By default, the LCD screen displays the position and status of the last control that was moved For example, if the screen is displaying the status of the drum pad group and you turn an encoder knob, the LCD will immediately switch to the encoder group, highlight the encoder that was turned, and display that encoders associated parameter and value on the lower-left side of the screen Whenever you change pages using the Soft-Keys, the LCD screen displays the parameter names assigned to each encoder knob In certain cases, you may wish to hold this information on the LCD screen, preventing the screen from changing to a graphical representation when a control is moved To do this, simultaneously press and hold the Save and Load buttons When the display is locked, if you move a control outside thelocked group, you will still see the controls parameter name and value in the display, but the text on the LCD screen will remain in place Pressing the Save and Load buttons again will disable the Hold feature

Why do I need patches? Doesnt HyperControl assign controls automatically? HyperControl technology automatically handles the assignment of most Axiom Pro controls and in many cases, you will not need to load or save any Axiom Pro patches However, HyperControl technology does not assign the performance controls (drum pads, keyboard zones, sustain/expression pedals, etc ) and the numerical keypad 8 The numerical keypad is not automatically assigned, so that you can still customize some of the Axiom Pro controls to your preference even if HyperControl is in use For example, you can assign Ableton Live keyboard shortcuts to the buttons of the Axiom Pro keypad Before you begin customizing the keypad, note that Axiom Pro ships from the factory with a number of useful patches that may already assign the numerical keypad to functions you wish to use Please see Appendix A at the end of the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how each factory patch is configured The performance controls are not automatically assigned by HyperControl so that you can set note, zone, and other assignments to your preference For example, your virtual instrument may require you to assign the pads to send specific MIDI note or velocity values Alternatively, you may wish to configure keyboard zones in a specific way to help you accomplish a specific task This can be done through Edit mode on Axiom Pro Please see the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how to do this

Edit Button This button lets you enter and exit Edit mode When using HyperControl, many of the Axiom Pro controls (i e , buttons, knobs, transport controls, etc ) are automatically assigned to the on-screen controls of your software These automatic assignments cannot be edited However, you can customize the numerical keypad9 and performance controls (drum pads, keyboard zones, sustain/expression pedals, etc ) to you personal preference by using Edit mode This mode is covered in greater detail in the Edit Mode section of the Axiom Pro User Guide

NOTE: It is possible to set HyperControl to only map the Axiom Pro transport controls to your software while

allowing all other control groups (encoder knobs, buttons, etc.) to function like a conventional MIDI controller. This is useful for users who have created their own fully-customized Axiom Pro patches for their audio applications but would still like the Axiom Pro transport controls to automatically map to the software that they are using. To do this, enter Edit mode and change the HyperControl parameter (from the main menu) from Normal to Transport. For more information, see the Edit Mode section of the Axiom Pro User Guide. Note that HyperControl Transport and Normal modes can be toggled on the fly while HyperControl is active. This lets you switch between HyperControls automatic track and plug-in parameter mapping to your own custom controller assignments and MIDI mappings. This gives you even more hands-on control over Live features that you frequently use.

11.

Zone/Group Button This button switches the functionality of the buttons beneath the sliders (on Axiom Pro 49/61) or Transport control (on Axiom Pro 25) and allows you to select the Performance Groups and Zones When the button is not illuminated (i e , not pressed), the associated buttons send out HyperControl commands When the button is pressed, it becomes illuminated, and the associated buttons can then be used to activate/deactivate Zones and Groups The Edit Mode > Zones section of the Axiom Pro User Guide covers this subject in great detail Peek (Edit + Zone/Grp Buttons) You can return to view knob assignments at any time by simultaneously pressing the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons For example, if knob positions are being displayed on screen but you would like to return to the top level screen that shows the encoder assignments press the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons The Peek function also lets you check the current value of a specific knob without changing its corresponding Live parameter To do this, press and hold the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons while moving the desired control This will display the controls current value without causing any changes to your Live Devices or tracks

12.

Numerical Keypad 5 The numerical keypad buttons can be programmed to send MIDI commands as well as QWERTY keystrokes (just like a computer keyboard) These QWERTY keystrokes can correspond to your audio applications keyboard shortcuts allowing you to access various functions of your software directly from Axiom Pro (i e , without having to touch your computer keyboard) Axiom Pro ships with a variety of pre-programmed patches that map the numerical keypad buttons to popular DAWs (a detailed list of these patches can be found in Appendix A of the Axiom Pro User Guide) See the Edit Mode > Control section of the Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how to make customized patches for these buttons
