AXON AX-100 GUITAR TO MIDI CONVERTER

AUTO:

This setting corresponds to your AXON’s unique ability to recognize your intentions as you play with respect to pitch quantization and then translate them appropriately. Chords for example, are interpreted exactly (no pitchbend information), whereas for melodic notes of a solo which contain string bends and slides, hammer-ons and pulloffs, pitch quantization is turned off, allowing for normal pitchbend information to be sent.

OFF:

All pitch changes (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, etc.) will be translated into pitchbend information allowing for true representation of what you play. (see Global Parameters: Pitchbend range).

ON:

Any variation in pitch will NOT be translated in pitchbend information until the given pitch reaches the next half step and will at that point jump to the new pitch chromatically, but using pitchbend information and NOT sending new note information. Hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, etc. will not be carried out as they are intended. The pitches you play are then locked (quantized) to the nearest half step. This setting is advantageous for playing chords.

TRIGGER:

This setting turns pitchbend off altogether, affecting simple chromatic half steps when playing bends or slides. It is the same as setting the global setting PBEND RANGE to OFF (see Global Parameters), but only affects this one particular split zone. It is recommendable to use this setting when using a piano sound, for example, which characteristically cannot be bent.

For our example set the Quantize parameter to AUTO. It applies to the Bass split and allows for string bending (pitchbend), whereas the piano sound will be triggered in half steps.

Panorama Position (L15…L1, MID, R1…R15)

This is where you place the selected sound of your MIDI instrument in the overall panorama left to right in stereo. The values L15 to L1 represent the left side, L15 being all the way to the left and R15 to R1 being the same in reverse. R1 and L1 are close to the center. MID is exactly centered in the stereo panorama.
