Topic Axiom 25
I just bought a used like new axium 25. I have no idea what to do with it. I am totally ignorant in this feild. I'm also trying to learn Propeller Head Reason 3 and Cubase se 3 but I've been able to find in depth manuals, books, dvd's, and tutorials for these programs. I found a book " The Idiots Guide To Cubase". I have downloaded the manual for the axium but it really isn't written to a beginner like me. It's completely over my head. I can turn on the axium and stare at it not having a clue what the words written on it mean. I have to start somewhere sometime but need more training resources to get started. Are there any tutorials, books (I looked but couldn't find any), dvd's. etc. out there?

do you see the "fine" knob here?



and the "pitch" knobs here?

Wow sending the picture was great. I don't know how to do that.I'm familiar with those knobs and have used them. I guess what I'm trying to say is when I'm creating a song and want to play a three note E chord (notes G#, E, B I play the G# and the E and then I come to the end of the keyboard and the B note key is in the next upper octave level on the keyboard.This makes it impossible to play the full chord. Can I play the G# and E and stick the B note in the sequencer later incorporating the pitch bend or by using some kind of editing process? Like going back to the song and when I get to that chord and overdub the note with the sequencer on record?
Thanks

as far as overdubbing, yeah sure, you can overdub on the same track as many times as you'd like. you can also draw in the note.

My focus has been elsewhere for a while. Recently I replaced my old Sony monitor. It was a real dinosaur and very space consuming. It had gotten so faded that I found myself using a magnifying glass to read small print. I picked up an LG 22" flat screen monitor. What a difference!!
I'd like to learn about zones. What are they? When do I use them? How do I use them? Can you make up a simple tutorial for me to try? Section 3.6 of the manual talks a little about them but it hasn't helped a lot.
Thanks

Can somebody help me out. I just bought an axiom 25 and have no idea how to got it to play using the Ableton software that came with it.
31
Do you mean how to get it to play ableton, and not vice versa?
32
Are there more than the one manual (downloadable pdf) for axiom 25

33
I don't think so. why would you want more than one?
34
I thought there might be one that's a little easier for me to understand. Like the reason 4.0 manual. I'm still trying to assign my 8 axiom encoders to my reason subtracter. I've been getting some info from the reason manual which is pretty step by step but I'm not getting the results that I should. I just downloaded Midi-ox. I'm trying to learn how to use it. Perhaps this program will help me find the problem.

What do you think of midi-Ox, and how did you hear about it?
36
Okay kon-tiki i have another possibly more challenging "adventure" for you
i am completely new to the subject of midi. i have dabbled with ableton and several other software and have found ableton to be the best for me and what i want to do.
i have just purchased my m-audio axiom 25 and its on the way in the mail. for now i plan to just mess around with the included software which i believe is ableton live lite 5 or 6
do you have any advice or tips to get started?
37
Well, maybe you shouldn't worry about the specifics of Midi. Just try to understand that your axiom is a "controller", it doesn't have any sounds of its own inside of it. it just controls (like your computer keyboard/keypad or mouse, even).

So basically with that in mind, your axiom needs something to control. in this case it will be Ableton Live, and more specifically, elements within Live.

If you can control and/or play the elements you want, then you really don't need to know anything more about midi, unless you want to maybe do more advanced stuff.

Generally, these days, things have been simplified quite a bit. it's usually the highlighted element (the one you last clicked on) that will be controlled. This way you just click on the thing you want to control.

So really the only tricky thing might be configuring your axiom in the beginning. But i guess if you follow the instructions, and your the least bit familiar with computers, it should be easy.

Let me know how it goes...
