HyperControl for Pro Tools
|
Axiom Pro
Instrument Mode
Axiom Pro can operate in two different modes when using HyperControl: Mixer Mode and Instrument Mode The previous
sections of this User Guide have covered Mixer Mode This section covers Instrument mode and describes how HyperControl
and Axiom Pro can be used to give you “hands-on” control over your virtual instrument plug-ins
To use Instrument Mode, you must first:
1 Create an Instrument Track within Pro Tools
2 Load a virtual instrument into one of the instrument track’s insert slots
3 Make sure that the track containing your virtual instrument is selected within Pro Tools (for example by using the F2 and
F3 ‘Track’ keys on Axiom Pro or by clicking the name of the track that contains your virtual instrument)
4 Finally, press the F1 “Mode” button to enter Instrument mode (Pressing Mode again will return you to Mixer Mode)
If a virtual instrument has been loaded on the selected track, a page similar to the one shown below will be displayed on your
Axiom Pro If the selected Pro Tools track does not contain a virtual instrument, pressing the Mode button will list “NoInstr” at the
top-right corner of the display and the center of the display will be blank
The name of the currently selected
Pro Tools track is displayed at the
top-left of the screen.
The name of the virtual
instrument is displayed at the
top-right of the screen.
The center of the
screen displays the
various parameters
contained by the
virtual instrument.
The listed
parameters can be
modified by the
Encoder Knobs of
Axiom Pro.
The bottom row lists menus and options that can
be accessed using Soft-Keys 1-4. These options
are described in detail in the following section of
this guide.
