Axiom 49/61 - Setup w/ Cubase (SX 3 and SX 4).


This Zip file contains an XML file for Cubase (NOT for Enigma).  By importing this File into a Generic Remote setup in Cubase, you can use factory preset 1 on your Axiom 49/61 for volume, panning, and transport control over Cubase.


This setup was created using a "24 track (Mono Inputs) Audio Sequencer" Template in Cubase SX 3.1.1.  This setup has also been tested with Cubase SX 4.0.1 by creating and empty project and adding 24 mono audio tracks.


In Cubase, go to the Devices Menu and choose "Device Setup".  Click the "+" sign in the top left and select Generic Remote.  The new Generic Remote should automatically be selected, but if not, it's under Remote Devices>Generic Remote.  Click the "Import" button, then locate and Open the unzipped "Axiom 49-61 Cubase.xml" file.  At the top, choose your Axiom for MIDI input, click Apply, then click OK.



The controls are mapped as follows:

The transport control buttons all function.  The Fast Forward and ReWind toggle FF & RW, the loop button toggles cycle (aka loop) on/off, the Stop button stops with 1 press, and returns to where play began with the second press, and Play just plays.


The sliders and knobs on the Axiom 49/61 will control volume and pan for Audio Tracks.  When assigned to Midi Channel 1, they will control Tracks 1-8, Midi Channel 2 switches controls to tracks 9-16, and Midi Channel 3 controls tracks 17-24.

The knobs/sliders on the Axiom default to transmit on Midi Channel 00, which means these controls will transmit on the Global Channel, which is set to Midi Channel 1 by default.  In it's default state, the Axiom will be controlling volume and pan for tracks 1-8.  Changing the Global Channel on the Axiom will allow you to control the other banks of tracks (Ch2 = 9-16, Ch3=17-24).  To change the Global Channel on your Axiom, press the "Glob Chan" button and use the numeric keypad to enter the desired Midi Channel.



* Since the Master Fader is also assigned to Channel 00, you will want to assign this to Midi Channel 1 so it always functions, regardless of the selected Global Channel.  To do this, first move the 9th (aka Master) fader to select it for editing.  Press the "Chan Assign" button on the Axiom follows by "1" on the Axiom's numeric keypad.  Next, Press the "Store" button on the Axiom, again followed by "1" on the numeric keypad.  This will store this setting to memory.

* The transport buttons also default to Channel 00.  To always have transport control, regardless of the Global Midi Channel, follow the procedure above to select a button for editing by pressing it, and then assign each button to Midi Channel 1.  Be sure to "Store" this setting to memory when finished.

* Since Cubase doesn't require that you move a fader/knob on your Axiom past the point on screen to "catch", you may notice that faders/knobs will "jump" when changing the Global Midi Channel.  To minimize any "jumping", press the "Mute" button on the Axiom and move the sliders/knobs to the approximate position they appear on screen, and press the "Mute" button again to regain control over Cubase.
