Audio Damage Axon - Manual (Page 20)

MIDI Notes
Axon both sends and responds to MIDI note on/off messages. You can use Axon as a software synthesizer
without using its Neuron Sequencer, and you can use its Neuron Sequencer to control other synthesizers.
Receiving MIDI Notes
Axon’s seven voices are permanently assigned to the whole notes C4 through B4, i.e. the white keys on the
keyboard starting with middle C. Here’s a chart showing the voices and their assigned notes and MIDI note
numbers:
Voice Note Name MIDI Note Number
0 C4 60
1 D4 62
2 E4 64
3 F4 65
4 G4 67
5 A4 69
6 B4 71
Sending MIDI Notes
The VST versions of Axon transmit a MIDI note message every time a voice is triggered. The MIDI note’s pitch
is set by the voice’s Pitch control. Its velocity is proportional to the position of the voice’s level slider in the
mixer (i.e. the higher the slider, the higher the velocity value). As described previously, if you turn on a
voice’s MIDI ONLY switch, the internal synthesizer for that voice will be turned off.
The AudioUnit version of Axon does not transmit MIDI. At the time of Axon’s production, very few AudioUnit
hosts provide the necessary information for AudioUnits to transmit MIDI data with accurate timing.
