2.4.3Panic
At times you may nd that the sound on your sound module or virtual instrument does not seem correct, or that notes get stuck
and sound continuously. When this happens, press the button combination for Panic which will send reset all controllers and all
notes off commands. This will release stuck notes and reset controller values back to normal. The messages are sent on all 16
MIDI channels. The LCD will show Panic while these messages are transmitted.
49- and 61-note versions:
< Press Data 1 and Data 2 together.
25-note version:
< Press Mute and Null together.
2.4.4Reset
It is possible to completely reset your keyboard at any time. To do this, turn the Axiom off and then press and hold down both of
the -/+ buttons as you power up the keyboard.
Important Note: When you perform this reset, all of the factory presets are lost. To restore the factory presets, please use the
Enigma software, available as a free download at www.m-audio.com.
Section3:AdvancedFeatures
In section 2 we saw how to use the keyboard, send program and bank changes, and assign MIDI controllers to the various controls
on your Axiom. These basic skills allow you to perform with many software applications, sound modules and synthesizers. However,
the Axiom has some more advanced features that allow you to take your performances even further. In this section we look at these
features and how you can make use of them.
(If you have not done so already, please familiarize yourself with the various functions used when programming your Axiom. Details
of these functions are given in section 2)
3.1MIDIControllers
Appendix C lists all the standard MIDI controller messages and some additional common messages all of which can be assigned to
the controls on your Axiom.
Here we introduce an expanded list of MIDI controllers and also different ways that the controls on the Axiom are able to function.
Since these extra controller numbers are specic to different types of controls on the Axiom, please consult the appendices:

Each MIDI controller has either two or three extra data parameters associated with it, as shown in the appendices listed above. The
function of these extra data parameters depends on what MIDI controller number is assigned to the selected Axiom control. The
appendices above show the details of what this functionality may be. The extra data parameters for a controller are accessed using
the Data 1, Data 2 and Data 3 buttons on the 49- and 61-note versions, and the Advanced button, followed by the Data 1, Data 2 or
Data 3 keys on the 25-note version.
The useful programming examples given below describe some of the uses for these extra data parameters.
