Repeatedly pressing the Flipbutton [4] cycles through the functions (track select, solo, etc.) for the slider buttons.2.Sliders 6 – These automatically map to track volume within your Live session.3.Master Slider 6 – This slider automatically maps to the master fader in your session.4.Flip Button 6 – Use this to cycle among four modes for the slider buttons: Track-Select, Record-Arm, Mute, and Solo.5. Encoder Knobs – The functionality of the encoder knobs varies depending whether you’re in Mixer mode or Device mode.Mixer mode: In Mixer mode, the encoder knobs are automatically mapped to track Pan and Send A, B, and C levels (which isdetermined by selecting the Pan, Send A, Send B, and Send C soft-key buttons below the LCD).7 Device mode:In Device mode, the encoder knobs automatically map to the currently selected Device on whatever track is selectedin Live. When you select an Instrument or Drum Rack, the encoders map to the Rack’s macro functions. When a singleDevice is selected, the encoders will map to the Device’s specific parameters. The soft-keys below the LCD will togglebetween multiple pages of parameters.6. Soft-Keys – These four buttons access the HyperControl menus (known as “Pages”) displayed along the bottom of theLCD screen. Each page contains various parameters that correspond to the on-screen parameters of Live Devices andRacks.6Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61.7 n Axiom Pro 25, the encoders default to control track volume. The four soft keys give access to the Volume, Pan, Send A andOSend B parameters respectively.

HyperControl for Ableton Live User Guide9. Load Button – This button brings up a prompt allowing you to loadpatches 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 thecurrent settings of your Axiom Pro. Saving of patches is covered in the“Function Buttons and Soft Keys” section of the Axiom Pro User Guide.9 Why do I need patches?Doesn’t HyperControl assign controlsautomatically?HyperControl technology automatically Hold (Load Save Buttons) – By default, the LCD screen displaysthe 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 youturn an encoder knob, the LCD will immediately switch to the encodergroup, highlight the encoder that was turned, and display that encoder’sassociated parameter and value on the lower-left side of the screen.handles the assignment of most Axiom Pro Whenever you change pages using the Soft-Keys, the LCD screendisplays the parameter names assigned to each encoder knob. In certaincases, you may wish to “hold” this information on the LCD screen,preventing the screen from changing to a graphical representation whena control is moved. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the Saveand Load buttons.pedals, etc.) and the numerical keypad 8. When the display is locked, if you move a control outside the”locked”group, you will still see the control’s parameter name and value in thedisplay, but the text on the LCD screen will remain in place.Live keyboard shortcuts to the buttons ofPressing the Save and Load buttons again will disable the Hold feature.useful patches that may already assign thecontrols and in many cases, you will notneed to load or save any Axiom Pro patches.However, HyperControl technology doesnot assign the performance controls (drumpads, keyboard zones, sustain/expressionThe numerical keypad is not automaticallyassigned, so that you can still customizesome of the Axiom Pro controls to yourpreference even if HyperControl is inuse. For example, you can assign Abletonthe Axiom Pro keypad. Before you begincustomizing the keypad, note that AxiomPro ships from the factory with a number ofnumerical keypad to functions you wish touse. Please see Appendix A at the end ofthe Axiom Pro User Guide to learn how eachfactory patch is configured.The performance controls are notautomatically assigned by HyperControlso that you can set note, zone, and otherassignments to your preference. Forexample, your virtual instrument may requireyou to assign the pads to send specificMIDI note or velocity values. Alternatively,you may wish to configure keyboard zonesin a specific way to help you accomplish aspecific task. This can be done through Editmode on Axiom Pro. Please see the AxiomPro User Guide to learn how to do this.8Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61.

HyperControl for Ableton Live User Guide 10Edit Button – This button lets you enter and exit Edit mode.10. When using HyperControl, many of the Axiom Pro controls (i.e., buttons, knobs, transport controls, etc.) are automaticallyassigned to the on-screen controls of your software. These automatic assignments cannot be edited. However, you cancustomize the numerical keypad9 and performance controls (drum pads, keyboard zones, sustain/expression pedals, etc.) toyou 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 whileallowing all other control groups (encoder knobs, buttons, etc.) to function like a conventional MIDI controller. Thisis useful for users who have created their own fully-customized Axiom Pro patches for their audio applications butwould 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 HyperControl’s automatic track and plug-in parameter mapping to your own customcontroller assignments and MIDI mappings. This gives you even more hands-on control over Live features that youfrequently use.11. Zone/Group Button – This button switches the functionality of the buttons beneath the sliders (on Axiom Pro 49/61) orTransport control (on Axiom Pro 25) and allows you to select the Performance Groups and Zones. When the button is notilluminated (i.e., not pressed), the associated buttons send out HyperControl commands. When the button is pressed, itbecomes illuminated, and the associated buttons can then be used to activate/deactivate Zones and Groups. The “EditMode 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 Editand Zone/Grp buttons. For example, if knob positions are being displayed on screen but you would like to return to the toplevel 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 Liveparameter. To do this, press and hold the Edit and Zone/Grp buttons while moving the desired control. This will display thecontrol’s 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 QWERTYkeystrokes (just like a computer keyboard). These QWERTY keystrokes can correspond to your audio application’s“keyboard shortcuts” allowing you to access various functions of your software directly from Axiom Pro (i.e., without havingto touch your computer keyboard). Axiom Pro ships with a variety of pre-programmed patches that map the numerical keypad buttons to popular DAWs (adetailed 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.9Only available on Axiom Pro 49/61.

HyperControl for Ableton Live User GuideHyperControl Display and Sof t-KeysThe Axiom Pro display indicates what Device or Track is currently selected within Live and how the encoder knobs map to thatDevice’s or Track’s on-screen parameters. Below is an example of how Tracks appear on the LCD.The name of the currentlyselected Live track is displayedat the top left of the screen.The upper-right corner displays either thetype of device or the active track parameterssuch as 1-8 Pan, 1-8 Send A, etc. Whena page is selected using the Soft-keys, thename of the page will be displayed here.The center of the screendisplays either the namesof the tracks that areunder the control ofAxiom Pro or the currentposition of the encodersand other controls ofAxiom Pro.The bottom row lists pages and options thatcan be accessed using Soft-Keys 1–4.11
