Safety information
Please ensure that analogue devices are turned off before plugging them
in. This will protect you from any possible—albeit weak—electrical
shocks, as well as protecting your speakers and your hearing from sudden peaks.
Congratulations!
You've purchased the AXON AX 100 MKII, the world's fastest and most powerful guitar-to-MIDI converter
available on the market. The AXON AX 100 MKII is an enhanced development of the NGC 77, which had set
standards for innovative technology and had become standard equipment for many professional guitarists,
including John McLaughlin. Thanks to its neural network, the AXON AX 100 MKII is able to determine the
precise pitch of a note the instant it is picked, whereas other devices require several oscillations of the string
for analysis. The early recognition of transients lets the AXON simultaneously determine pitch, amplitude, and
even the location at which the string was picked—an unparalleled ability to date. This is due to the AXON's
unusual splitting options. For example, you can use a string split to divide the strings of your guitar into two
zones, each with its own sound properties. Or use a fret split to divide the fingerboard of your guitar into two
separate playing zones. Pick splits let you divide the picking area of the guitar into up to three independent
sound zones that you can select instantly by changing your picking position. You can achieve impressive effects with the pick control function, which lets you control modulation effects and others with your picking position. Special effects such as COMMON (bypass), SEPARATE (hold), LAYER (ensemble/doubling) and others
can be applied with the multi-programmable hold switch. The implementation of a full-featured arpeggiator
provides users further options to add expression to their playing with striking variations. Splits and effects can
be combined, stored in up to 128 complex presets and recalled as needed. Another unique feature of the
AXON AX 100 MKII is its unrestricted support for both acoustic guitars and basses with piezo hex pickups.
This opens the MIDI world to bass players and classical guitarists that are looking for new, contemporary
forms of expression. The internal soundboard upgrades the AXON AX 100 MKII to a professional guitar synthesizer for live use supporting ambitious musicians with over 500 excellent sounds, including 10 drum kits.
The AXON AX 100 MKII system is fully MIDI compatible, and also features an editable drum sequencer.

AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 7
QuickStart guide — for those of you can't wait
Connect your guitar to the AXON AX 100 MKII. If your guitar is equipped with one of the optional interfaces
(PU 100, AIX 103), use the 13-pin cable (AXK 100) to do so. The socket at the left of the front panel labelled
GUITAR INPUT is the one you need.
If you are using an external MIDI instrument for audio output, connect the MIDI OUT of the AXON to the MIDI
IN of the instrument. You can skip this step if you intend to use the internal soundboard, of course.
Now connect the AXON AX 100 MKII to your mixer or amplifier using the SOUNDBOARD RIGHT / LEFT ports
on the rear panel. If you're using an external sound module, ensure that the optional sound module is connected to the mixer or amplifier.
Switch the device on now—but first, set the volume of your amplifier to zero to prevent possible peaks from
damaging your speakers and eardrums.
You're almost finished now. You should check a few basic settings before getting started, however. Press the
GLOBAL button. BASIC CHANNEL will now appear on the display. It should have the value 1. If not, change it
using the VALUE + and VALUE - buttons.
Press the PARAMETER + button to navigate to the next menu item, the HOLD CHANNEL. It should have the
value 11. (At any rate, the value should not be lower than 7. Refer to page 19 for more information)
Press PARAMETER + again for the SEQ CHANNEL. Ensure that it is set to 10.
We will skip over the next three settings for Sequencer Port and Pitchbend—for more information on these,
refer to page 19. The next important one is LOCAL MODE, which you can access by pressing the
PARAMETER + button. It should be set to ON if you intend to address the internal soundboard of the AXON
AX 100 MKII directly, or if the generated MIDI data are to be sent to the MIDI OUT. You can disable local
mode if you would like to control the AXON using a sequencer or MIDI recording software. The AXON AX 100
MKII then behaves like any other external sound module.
The next item is the TUNE BASE. The AXON AX 100 MKII is preset to a reference pitch of 440 Hz, which is
indicated on the display by a "0". If you would like to play together with other, hard-to-tune instruments (such
as the piano), you can adjust your tuning in cent increments.
8 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
The next item to check is the type of instrument used. Press the PARAMETER + button again and GUITAR
NO will appear on the display. Up to 8 presets for different instruments can be stored here.
Press ENTER to open the submenu and select the instrument you will be using from the available instruments:
BASS, GUITAR, VIOLIN and CELLO.
Press PARAMETER + to open the selection menu for the pickup you will be using. MAGNETIC is selected by
default. If you are going to be using an instrument with a piezo pickup, change this setting to PIEZO.
Check the setting by playing the connected guitar. If you hear so-called double triggers (i.e. two notes hit in
rapid succession) even though you have only hit the string once, you should adjust the input sensitivity of the
AXON to your personal playing style and hardware. To do so, press the PARAMETER + button until you reach
the SENSE menu item.
Begin with the low E string and adjust the value at the bottom right of the display using the VALUE +/- buttons.
Use PARAMETER + to move on to the
Finished! We can deal with the other parameters later—the AXON has been preconfigured at the factory to let
you get started with a minimum of hassle.
remaining 5 strings.
Editing preset sounds
Ensure that the AXON is in Preset mode (Preset LED lit on the front panel). This is automatically the case
when you switch the device on and none of the other modes (GLOBAL, UTILITY or CHAIN) are selected.
The top half of the display shows the name of the currently active preset, with the number of the preset to the
right.
Use the VALUE +/- buttons or the UP/DOWN buttons of the guitar interface to step through the presets 1-256.
Presets 1-128 are reserved for the user and can be edited. 129-256 are fixed factory presets. By default, these
presets have been copied to the programmable user area (1-128) to ensure that it contains playable parameter settings, but they can be overwritten as needed, of course.
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 9
Once you have familiarised yourself with them, you can try modifying one of the existing presets:
1. Use the VALUE +/- buttons to select preset 1, "Grand Piano" (same as factory preset 129). You can also
use the UP/DOWN buttons of the guitar interface to select the preset. Next, press the EDIT button.
2. Press ENTER to open the AXON's split zone area. Confirm the selected split zone with ENTER. Then,
confirm the selected layer, likewise using the ENTER button.
3. You can now use the VALUE +/- buttons to select any INSTRUMENT. The instruments are sorted logically according to groups. Using the PARAMETER button, you can move the cursor towards the left to the
group and navigate through it using the VALUE +/- buttons in order to reach the desired sound more
quickly.
Pressing the PARAMETER + button again4. takes you to additional settings for the preset; these are explained in detail later on in the manual. For example, you can use the VALUE +/- buttons to set the
VOLUME parameter to the desired value.
5.
You may also change the TRANSPOSE setting in the next parameter. This can be useful for a bass
sound, for example
the PARAMETER + button and set the value with the VALUE +/- buttons (+12 or -12 raises or lowers the
pitch one octave).

The operating modes of the AXON AX 100 MKII
The many options of your AXON require a wide range of parameters that you can adjust to suit your requirements. The following explanation of the user interface will help you find your way around quickly.
For a clear overview, the operating functions of your AXON have been organised in four different modes or
sections that can be selected using the buttons on the front panel. Each of these modes (GLOBAL, PRESET,
UTILITY, CHAIN) contain a number of parameters that can be displayed using the PARAMETER +/- buttons
after pressing the appropriate mode button.
Press the PARAMETER + button to switch to the next parameter. PARAMETER - returns you to the previous
parameter. Change the values of the individual parameters using the VALUE +/- buttons, using VALUE + to
raise the value and VALUE - to lower it. The VALUE +/- buttons feature an acceleration function to help ensure
that you don't get a repetitive strain injury. You can accelerate the counting even more by pressing both buttons (+ and -) at the same time while counting up or down.
A number of parameters contain submenus with additional parameters. Dots at the end of the parameter name
indicate the presence of a submenu. To open a submenu, press the ENTER button. Press the PARAMETER
+/- buttons to access the various parameters within the submenu. The EXIT button will return the AXON to the
original parameter. The EXIT button will also return the AXON to its default Preset mode.
Global Mode
The global parameters contain all higher-level parameters related to the MIDI channels, the instrument used,
the reference tuning and input sensitivity of the individual strings. You should check a number of the global
parameters before using your AXON for the first time to ensure its best possible interaction with your instrument.
Preset Mode
All of the parameters that your AXON needs for managing individual presets can be found here. Preset mode
is the most extensive mode, with a wide range of split and effect settings. This is the mode that is active by
default whenever you have not selected one of the other modes.
Utility Mode
This mode contains a wide range of settings for drum sequences. It also contains the functions for loading and
storing settings via MIDI (SysEx), letting you manage and save the parameter settings of your AXON on your
computer. It's easier using the included Editor, by the way. ;-)
Chain Mode
The Chain parameters let you define preset chains for easy access to presets sorted by style for live performances.
CAUTION: For greater ease of use, they are divided up a little differently in the Software Editor. The areas
there are: Global, Presets, Arpeggiator/Sequencer, Chains, CC Defaults, MIDI Mapping and About.
14 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
The Computer Editor
The included Editor offers direct on-screen access to all parameters of the AXON AX 100 MKII. All you need is

Basic Channel
Basic MIDI channel (1 – 16) Various options are available for sending the MIDI information generated by the
AXON from the vibrations of your guitar strings to the sound module or MIDI instrument. Ideally, a MIDI channel is assigned to each string (see STRING MODE SEPARATE) This has the advantage of evaluating each
string separately. For example, bending a string affects only that string's channel. Otherwise, bending would
affect the pitches of the other strings being played at the same time, an effect that is generally undesirable.
Use BASIC CHANNEL to specify the first of six MIDI channels. All other channels follow automatically in ascending order. If you select "1", for example, MIDI channels 1 to 6 will be reserved by your AXON. The value
'5' would assign channels 5 to 10,
and the value '11' the channels from 11 to 16. '1' is the default value.

channel 10 is the default setting.
Sequencer MIDI Ports (SEQPORTS)
(MIDI OUT and/or Soundboard) Here, you can select the outputs to which to send the MIDI signal of the
internal drum sequencer. You can choose between the MIDI Out on the rear side of the AXON and/or the
internal soundboard.
Pitchbend Range (PBEND RANGE)
(OFF, 1 – 24) Bending and sliding are techniques frequently used by guitarists. Your AXON uses the MIDI
pitchbend command for these effects. As with a keyboard pitch wheel, the pitch of the last note picked is modified without picking a new note. The value ranges must be adjusted to ensure that the sound module or a
connected MIDI instrument reproduces the pitch changes accurately.
The displayed value indicates the maximum number of semitone steps that can be applied to a pitchbend. Set
this value to 12 (one octave). For bass, we recommend setting the value to 24.
The value OFF disables pitchbend, triggering chromatic semitones when bending or sliding.
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 19
Resend Pitchbend Range (SND PBENDRG)
(ON/OFF) If your MIDI instrument supports separate pitchbend settings for each preset, you must set this
parameter to ON. In this case, your AXON will send the required pitchbend settings to the MIDI instrument
after every Program Change command. If your MIDI instrument stores the pitchbend range globally, set this
value to OFF.

available only via MIDI OUT. Connect the MI encer to the MIDI IN of your AXON and activate the echo or monitor function of the sequencer. The sequencer will loop the incoming MIDI data through to
MIDI OUT and send it to the internal sound module. Note that the sequencer is configured such that it transmits all MIDI data on the same channels on which it receives them.
Local mode is always set to ON when switching the AXON on. If you set this parameter to OFF, this setting will
only be retained until you switch the device off.

with musicians using instruments that are difficult to tune, such as a piano, you can adjust your AXON to the
situation. We recommend the following procedure when using a reference frequency other than 440 Hz: start
by carefully tuning the open A string to the reference instrument by ear.

(1 to 8) So that your AXON works optimally with your guitar, you have to configure various basic settings pertaining to sensitivity and other parameters. These settings depend on the type and setup of your guitar. They
can vary widely from one instrument to the next. However, the AXON stores up to eight sets of basic settings,

The positions of the bars correspond to the levels of the individual strings, varying depending on how hard you
pick and the sensitivity settings of the individual strings. In the Software Editor, you can select the eight guitar

vantage for guitarists is that piezo pickups, which can be installed invisibly in the bridge of the instrument, can
also be used on instruments with nylon strings such as classical guitars.
Note Off Limit
(2 – 30) Unlike a keyboard, which holds its notes until the key is released, a guitar string will sound until the
note dies out naturally or the string is stopped. The duration of the note depends primarily on the type of guitar,
how it is set up, and the type of strings used. Some guitars therefore sound percussive, while others have
more sustain. This can be represented as an envelope curve in which the volume or amplitude values gradually decline to zero. By specifying a threshold value on this envelope, it becomes possible to control the duration of the note. Selecting a higher value will cause the MIDI Note Off command to b

CC Defaults
Controller reset values Using the various control options of the wheel and pick control functions requires a
precise reset of the MIDI controller to its default values (i.e. after a preset change). This is generally the value
0, but there are exceptions. The soundboard expects the value 64(40h) as the default value for the controllers
71-74, as these controllers are used as offset. A wide range of free controllers are available that manufacturers can use as they see fit, so your AXON lets you set default values for all available controllers. Press

The first line displays the controller and its number, the second line contains the default value in hexadecimal
notation. The cursor is initially in the first row while you use the VALUE +/- buttons to display the desired controller. Use the PARAMETER + button to move the cursor to the second row and the VALUE +/- buttons to
change the default value of the displayed controller. The settings will be stored in the AXON's memory. The

Preset Parameters
The preset parameters contain all of the settings that the AXON needs to manage a preset. A preset is a playing environment that you have defined which contains a wide range of playing and audio property settings that
you can select at any time. You can choose from up to 128 complex programmable presets. The complexity of
your presets is entirely up to you. For example, you can organise the strings of your guitar as 12 completely
different split areas that can be combined freely. Countless effects and playing parameters can be assigned to
each of the splits independently.
Selecting Presets
To navigate the presets, use the VALUE +/- buttons. You can also use the UP/DOWN buttons of the guitar
interface or press the "Get Preset" button in the editor.

Guitar Tuner and Instrument
In its default setting (see Utility Mode, Display), the lower half of the display shows a guitar tuner with which
you can monitor the correct tuning of your instrument. It is important for the guitar to be tuned within certain
tolerances for the AXON to identify MIDI note values correctly. Tune each string until the line is located over

Preset Programming
With your AXON in Preset mode, press the EDIT button to program or edit the current preset. The graphic that
now appears at the bottom of the display indicates the current split zone in preset 1, "Grand Piano". This preset has only one playing zone, so the entire graphic is selected.
For a more detailed explanation of split zones, we will be taking a closer look at the split options of your AXON
below. 'Splitting' refers to dividing the playing area of your instrument into two or more independent zones.
Your AXON supports the following split types:
String Split
You can divide the six strings of your instrument into two groups, with a different synthesiser sound for each
group. For example, you can assign a bass guitar sound to the low E and A string, while using an e-piano
sound for the remaining strings. It's entirely up to you where you would like to locate the split.
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 27
Fret Split
You can also divide the fingerboard of your guitar into two areas with a different synthesiser sound assigned to
each area, regardless of the string you are currently playing. You can freely choose the fret position for the
split.
Pick Split
It's also possible to divide the area between the bridge and the highest fret—the area in which you normally
pick—into up to three sections. The width of each section is freely customisable. You can thus use completely
different sounds, depending on whether you are picking near the neck, in the middle, or near the bridge.
Split Combinations
These three different split types can be combined freely, giving you up to 12 different split combination options
(2 string * 2 fret * 3 pick split zones). Being able the split points freely within these combinations

(ON, OFF) Sometimes, you may not want the AXON to send any Program Change commands, for example
when using it together with a Software Sequencer. You can disable this function here. To do so you have to
switch off the Program button in the Editor.
MIDI Output Channel
MIDI channels (B/H, 1 – 16) Here define the channels on which the MIDI information is to be sent. As men-
tioned above, it is important that the channels used on the same output port of the various layers do not overlap. B/H stands for Basic/Hold Channel. The globally configured channels are used. Note that the configured
String Mode has an effect on the MIDI channels. Refer also to page 38.
So that you not lose track of what you are doing, the Editor (to the left of the fretboard on the Presets page)
shows the currently used channels for all 6 strings.

MIDI Output Ports
(MIDIOUT, SOUNDBOARD, MIDIOUT+SB, NONE) In this menu item, define the output ports to be used for

Volume
(OFF, 0 – 127) Each layer in the split can be assigned a separate volume, which you can configure here. Use
the +/ - Value buttons to set the volume to the desired level. In the "OFF" position, the AXON sends no volume
information whatsoever. In the Editor, the Volume button serves this function.
32 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
Transpose
(-36 to +36) Use this parameter to transpose the notes played in semitone steps. This lets you play notes on
your MIDI instrument that are outside the normal range of your guitar. For our example, enter a value of -12 (-1
octave) to put the bass in its characteristic range.
Quantize
(AUTO, OFF, ON, TRIGGER) This parameter determines whether pitch changes within the set pitchbend
range will be carried out continuously or stepwise (quantised):
Auto: If more than one note is played, pitchbend quantisation is enabled automatically. Chords are thus
played precisely (without pitchbend), while pitchbend quantisation is disabled for single-note solos with bending, hammer-o
n, sliding and similar techniques.
Off: No quantisation, continuous pitchbend. All pitch changes (bends, hammer-ons and other techniques) are
followed as closely as possible (also see Global Parameters: Pitchbend Range).
On: Quantisation with pitchbend in steps. Increases in pitch are NOT followed with pitchbend until the next
semitone is reached, at which point the new pitch value is used. Continuous bends and other techniques are
not reproduced as expected. This setting is advantageous when playing chords exclusively, as minor changes
in pitch due to varying pressure on the strings no longer have any effect.
Trigger: Quantisation through new Note On command. This value disables pitchbend completely, triggering
chromatic semitones when bending or sliding. It corresponds exactly to the global setting PBEND RANGE:
OFF (see Global Parameters) but only affects the curren
or piano sounds, which would otherwise sound extremely unnatural. You can also set the Quantize parameter
to AUTO for our example. It then on
triggers chromatic halftones.
Panorama (PAN POS)
(OFF, L15-L1, MID, R1-R15) This parameter shifts the selected sound of your MIDI instrument in the stereo
image. The values L15-L1 indicate that the current sound will be shifted more toward the left channel, while the
values R1-R15 would result in a shift toward the right channel. The value MID corresponds to the middle position. To disable the panorama function, select "OFF".

Pan Spread
(-15 to +15) Use this parameter to spread the positions of individual sounds across the panorama to ensure
that not all (up to six) sounds appear in the stereo position you selected with the PAN POS parameter. Set the
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 33
PAN POS value to MID (middle position), for example. Play your guitar and vary the PAN SPREAD value.
Please note that your MIDI instrument must support panorama information. Please refer to the manual of your
MIDI instrument for more information.
+15: low notes to the left, high notes to the left in the panorama
-15: low notes to the left, high notes to the right in the panorama
Reverb
(OFF, 0 to 127) Use this parameter to set the degree of reverb for the sound used. Increasing the value in-
creases the amount of reverb added to the original sound. You can switch off this controller; to do so, select
the value "OFF". You can disable this function in the Editor using the Reverb switch.
Chorus
(OFF, 0-127) You can adjust the strength of the effect using this parameter. Increasing the value will make the
effect that your MIDI instrument adds to the original sound more pronounced. The "OFF" position shuts off the
Controller data.
Attack Time
Shorten/lengthen the attack time (OFF, 0-127) Attack time refers to the time from the start of a sound to the
point at which it reaches its maximum volume. The effect of this parameter is strongly dependent on the sound
being used. If you have selected a percussive instrument such as a piano, shortening the attack time will not
be possible, as it is already minimal. This parameter is especially useful for sounds that develop slowly, such
as pad sounds. A value of 64 means no change from the sound generator's default attack time. Values less
than 64 shorten this time, while larger values lengthen it.
Velocity Sensitivity (VEL SENSE)
(0-127) You can reduce the dynamic range of your MIDI instrument by reducing the value of this parameter. In
an extreme case, a value of 0 will cause all sounds from the MIDI instrument to be played at the same volume,
regardless of the velocity with which they are played. The value 127 will result in the greatest possible dynamic
range.

(-64 to +64) If the restricted dynamic range (see VEL SENSE) of your MIDI instrument has caused it to be-
come too loud or soft, use this parameter to raise or lower the overall volume. In the Software Editor, a graphic
lets you configure this setting very easily.
If Velocity Sensitivity is set to 0 and Velocity Offset is set to –64 at the same time, no more MIDI notes are
sent. In the Editor, the "Send Notes" button has this purpose. This can be useful if using the AXON to control a
non-sound generator (e.g. effects unit, mixer etc.) usi
Pick Control
(NO CONTROLLER, CONTRLxxx) This submenu lets you associate your current sound with one of the many
MIDI controllers. This can be used to control effects thanks to the AXON's ability to recognise your picking
position. For example, if you set the value to Controller 1 (Modulation Wheel), you can simulate the effect of a
keyboard modulation wheel with your picking position.
Other interesting effects can be achieved with CTRL 74 (Filter) or CTRL 10 (Pan), for example. Press the
ENTER button and use the +/- Value buttons to choose a suitable controller.
The function of the controller will be displayed in plain text. A horizontal line will appear for non-specified controllers. Use the following parameters to specify the value range for which the controller is suited. The effective
range of the controller is restricted to one pick split zone (Your AXON supports up to three pick zones, for
which you can theoretically use three different pick controllers). Generally, you will not use additional pick splits
for a pick control effect. You should therefore set both preset parameters PICKSPLIT1 and PICKSPLIT2 to
0—otherwise the entire picking area from the bridge to the neck will not be available, but only the section
within the pick split zone.
ng only MIDI controllers.
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 35
Pick Control Value 1 (PICK VAL1)
(0-127) Once you have associated the split zone with a MIDI controller via PICK CONTRL, use this parameter
to set the starting value for the controller. Moving your picking position from the bridge toward the neck will
cause the value sent to the MIDI controller to continuously move toward the value set for PICK VAL2.
Pick Control Value 2 (PICK VAL2)
(0-127) Once you have associated the split zone with a IDI controller via PICK CONTRL, use this parameter
to set the ending value for the controller. Moving your picking position from the neck toward the bridge will
cause the value sent to the MIDI controller to continuously move toward the value set for PICK VAL1.
String instruments
If you have selected a string instrument such as violin or cello in a preset, the Pick Control menu item changes

Changing parameters shared by split zones
Until now, the preset parameters pertained solely to individual layers in the split zones. A preset also consists
of higher-level parameters used to manage split zones and describe shared characteristics. The transitions or
borders between the individual split types are also defined here. To access this level, press the EDIT button
while in Preset mode (PRESET LED on). If you are still in the split zone level, simply press the EXIT button
twice. Use the PARAMETER +/- buttons to select the following parameters and modify them with the VALUE
+/- buttons:
String Split
(1-5) When configuring a string split, use this parameter to specify the first string of the lower string segment,
i.e. the start of the lower playing zone. The number refers to the string, w

Fret Split
(0-23) If you are using a fret split in your preset, use this parameter to specify the first fret of the left split seg-
ment, i.e. th
with fret 0 being the open string. For example, if you set the fret split to 4, the open strings and frets 1 through
3 will be assigned to the right split zone, while frets 4 and up will belong to the left split zone.
Pick Split 1 and 2
(0-99) If you are using pick split options in your preset, these parameters determine the width of the individual
picking zones between the bridge and neck. The picking area is divided into 100 units: 0 is the bridge, and 99
corresponds to the start of the fingerboard. If you have divided this area into two zones, the parameter in PICK
SPLIT 1 will indicate the s
divided into two equally large zones. To divide the picking area into 3 zones, specify a value for the start of the
third zone in PICK SPLIT 2. For three equally large zones, set the value for PICK SPLIT 1 to 33 and the value
for PICK SPLIT 2 to 66.

String Mode
(COM, SEP) String Mode determines how the strings of your guitar are assigned to the MIDI basic channel
(see Global Parameters):
38 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
Common Mode (COM) In Common mode, all of the strings of your guitar are assigned to the MIDI basic
channel. To prevent conflicts with notes still sounding on the same channel, no pitchbend information is sent
when more than one note is being played in this mode. Solo playing is therefore possible with some restrictions. Use this mode if your MIDI instrument can only receive on one MIDI channel. Also, not all sequencer
programs support recording multiple channels at the same time. You should also select this m
ode in this case.
Separate Mode (SEP) In Separate mo
(see Global Parameters). This mode provides the greatest possible flexibility. Pitchbend effects such as bending, hammer-on and sliding only affect the channel of the string being played. These techniques can thus be
applied without restrictions. Virtually all current MIDI instruments support multiple channels, so choose this
mode whenever possible.
Hold Mode (HOLDMD)
(COMMON, SEP, LAYER, ARPEG, CNTRL, STACK) A variety of effects are available while playing that can
be triggered by pressing the hold switch. Your AXON supports five different Hold modes:
• Common: A chord played previously will be played by the MIDI instrument until the hold switch is re-
leased. Refer also to page 39.
• Separate: You can add a pad sound to accompany our solos, for example. Refer also to page 39.
• Layer: This operating mode lets you combine two presets—in other words, you can play two presets at
the same time. Refer also to page 41.
• Arpeggiator: This operating mode provides a powerful arpeggiator with which you can virtually accom-

Volume
(OFF, 0 – 127) You have the option of reducing the volume of the hold preset to ensure a correct balance
between the main and hold preset. This will not change the settings of the hold preset itself.
Sequencer Pattern (SEQ PATTERN)
(OFF, 1 – 32) AXON AX 100 MKII users can play a sequencer pattern (drum sequence) parallel to the hold
preset (see UTILITY MODE, EDIT SEQUENCE). The drum sequence will be started on a separate MIDI
channel as soon as your press the hold switch. The pattern will continue to repeat until you press the hold
switch briefly twice (double-click). Enter the pattern number 1-32 of the sequencer pattern to be played when
the pedal is pressed, or set the parameter to OFF.
Sequencer Track (SEQ TRACK)
(OFF, 1 – 8) You can also play a complex track sequence (see UTILITY MODE, EDIT SEQUENCE) parallel to
the hold preset instead of a pattern sequence. The track sequence (drum sequence) will be started on a separate MIDI channel as soon as your press the hold switch. The track sequence can be cancelled by pressing
the hold switch briefly twice. Otherwise, it will continue playing until its defined end. Enter the track number 1-8

Tempo
Arpeggiator tempo (EXT, 41 – 240) The tempo of the arpeggio can be synchronised externally using the
MIDI Clock (EXT/MIDI IN) or internally by specifying a BPM (beats per minute) value between 41 (very slow)
and 240 (very fast). In case of external synchronisation (by a MIDI keyboard or MIDI drums, for example),
output does not start until MIDI Start/Sync commands have been received.

Length (ARP. LENGTH)
Arpeggiator length (1 – 32) This paramete um number of notes in the arpeggio. While
apturing, the content of the arpeggio buffer is constantly output in a loop. Every note you play lengthens the
c
loop until you reach the value set in ARP. LENGTH. If you continue playing, the oldest notes of the loop will be
replaced. An arpeggio loop can contain a maximum of 32 notes.
Scan
(Assign, Reverse, Recycle, Up, Down, Up/Down, Random) Several functions are available for playing an
arpeggio loop:
In the ASSIGN position, the notes are played in the order in which they were captured.
The REVERSE position acts as a stack and plays the notes back in reverse order.
RECYCLE starts by playing the notes in their original order (like ASSIGN). When the end of the loop has been
reached, the notes are played back in reverse order (like REVERSE). This sequence repeats once it has
reached the beginning.
In UP mode, the captured notes are played sorted according to pitch in ascending order, in DOWN mode they
are played in descending order.
UP/DOWN mode combines these two modes.
Finally, RANDOM plays the captured notes back in random order.
r specifies the maxim
Pattern (PATRN)
(1/16thSt ... USER#1...16) Using this parameter, you can apply rhythmic playback patterns to the arpeggio
loop. The arpeggio will be quantised rhythmically according to the pattern:
1/16thSt: Classic arpeggio. Returns the captured notes in a 1/16 staccato.
1/16thLg: 1/16 notes as above, but legato.
1/8thSt: Arpeggio with moderate tempo. Returns the captured notes in a 1/8 staccato.
1/8thLg: 1/8 notes as above, but legato.
1/4thSt: Slow arpeggio. Returns the captured notes in a 1/4 staccato.
1/4thLg: 1/4 notes as above, but legato.
1/2th: Very slow arpeggio with half notes (more precisely: 1/4 note values with 1/4 rests).
1/8Trpl: Arpeggio with moderate tempo. Returns the captured notes as 1/8 triplets.
The patterns BLUES 1 to HOUSE contain rhythmic styles and grooves as factory presets for interesting
groove effects:
BLUES 1: Blues rhythm. Especially suitable for bass backing lines.
BLUES 2: Variation of BLUES 1 pattern.
42 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
BOOGI 1: Boogie groove. Especially suitable for bass backing.
BOOGI 2: Variation of the BOOGI 1 pattern.
DISCO 1: Disco groove. Especially suitable for bass backing.
DISCO 2: Additional DISCO variation.
ROCK: Rock groove for bass backing.
HOUSE: House rhythm. Well-suited for organ riffs.
You can also apply one of 16 user-defined rhythm patterns to arpeggios with USER#1 to USER#16. Select
one of the USER patterns and press the ENTER button. The Pattern Editor will appear on the display which
you can use to enter the time values for the arpeggio notes.
Use the PARAMETER +/- buttons to move the cursor on the pattern buffer grid. Set the time value at the cursor location with the VALUE +/- buttons. A "<" at this point marks the end of the pattern. The pattern is continuously repeated between the start and end point and controls the output of the arpeggio note values. A
pattern can use a maximum of eight different note value symbols at the same time (no restriction applies when
using the Computer Editor). The LOOP symbol "<" is not affected by this. A number of buttons on the front
panel of the AXON have special functions during the editing process:
The STORE button has an insert function, moving the pattern one place to the right from the current cursor
position. The last symbol at the end of the pattern will be removed or overwritten.
The EDIT button has a delete function, removing the symbol at the cursor position and moving all following
symbols one place to the left. A loop symbol "<" is inserted at the far right.
Press the EXIT button to exit the Pattern Editor.
Display of note values
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 43
Programming a pattern is far more convenient in the Software Editor. Under Arpeggiator/Sequencer, the upper area contains a graphic illustration of the 16 possible steps. For each step, you can now select the desired
note or rest from the drop-down menu. You can also insert notes using the right arrow symbol, which pushes
all the notes after it one step to the right. The left arrow symbol deletes the selected step, and all the notes
after it move to the left.
You can save y
our own pattern to one of the 16 user memory positions using the "Store to" button.
Sync
(ON, OFF) If you played fewer notes while ON than specified in LENGTH, the pattern will repeat from the
beginning after the last captured note and before the start of the next note value.
Octaves
(1 – 4) Here you can determine whether the arpeggio is to be repeated in the next octave position after the
loop completes. For example, if you enter a "2" here, the arpeggio will be played first in the normal, then in the
next higher octave position. The maximum value is 4 octaves. Value 1 plays the arpeggio only at the pitch at
which it was recorded.
44 AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English)
Repeats
(1 – 32) Use this value to repeat the individual notes of the arpeggio. If this parameter is set to "1", each note
will be played once only. Higher values cause the note to be repeated accordingly. Each note can be played
up to 32 times.
Velocity
(OFF, 0 – 127) If this value is set to OFF, the arpeggio will be played back with velocity values as played on
the guitar. You can assign a fixed value for the dynamics of the notes by specifyin

played. The first line will display the text 'HD: <Presetname>' and all parameters will be editable as usual.
Press the EXIT button to return to your starting point. The hold preset name will flash whenever a parameter
has been edited but not saved. The edited hold preset can be stored under any preset number using the
STORE button.
Control (CNTRL)
In this operating mode, you have the option of associating the hold switch with any MIDI controller. When the
hold switch is pressed, the specified controller is output with the maximum value 127 (7Fh). As soon as you
release the hold switch, the controller is reset to 0. Suitable controllers include Damper Pedal On/Off (64) and
Portamento (65). Press the ENTER button to open the submenu and set the values for the following parameters.
Holdcontrol
(Controller #0 – #119) Select the MIDI controller that is to be set to its maximum value of 127 when the hold

The effect is the same as in the LAYER hold mode. The only difference is that the hold switch does not have
to be explicitly pressed for this mode. The layer effect is thus continuously available. Otherwise, the same
parameters are available as in LAYER mode. (also see LAYER...)
Wheel Controller (WHEELCNTL)
WHEEL CONTROLLER (AIX, EXP1, EXP2) Your AXON supports up to three different wheel controllers at the
same time:
• AIX (in the Editor: "Pickup") is the wheel on the interface PU 100, AIX 101/103
• EXP1 and EXP2 are expression pedals that can be connected to the rear panel of the AXON.
Select the wheel that you would like to associate with a MIDI controller with the VALUE +/- buttons and press
ENTER. The first line of the display shows the currently selected wheel, the second indicates the controller to
be associated with the wheel.
Use the VALUE +/- buttons to select the correct controller type. The name of the controller will be displayed in
plain text. Controllers that do not comply with the MIDI specification are shown as "-------- ". The "NO
CONTROLLER" setting will result in the wheel not being associated with a controller and thus being without an
effect. This setting is useful for controlling a running arpeggio without affecting the main preset. Set up the
preset used by the arpeggio so that the wheel at the AIX 101 / 103 interface affects a filter controller (#74). For
the main preset, select "NO CONTROLLER" instead of "VOLUME 7". Now you can control the running arpeggio continuously with the filter effect without affecting the volume of the main preset. Press the EXIT button to
return to the main menu.

Non Registered Parameter Number / Registered Parameter Number (NRPN/RPN)
(NONE, NRPN, RPN) Many synthesiser manufacturers support the modification of sound properties via so-
called NRPN (non-registered parameter number) and RPN (registered parameter number) numbers. RPNs are
defined in the MIDI specification; NRPNs are manufacturer-specific. For more information on NRPNs, please
refer to the manual of the MIDI output device.
The approach is the same for both types: a system parameter is set with the associated NRPN-LSB and MSB
or RPN-LSB and MSB controllers t
or controller #38 (DATA ENTRY LSB).
The following is an example of such an application with your AXON: Let's assume you have read in the manual of your synthesiser that the manufacturer supports filter control via the NRPNs MSB=01h and LSB=21h.
Select "NRPN/RPN", then "NRPN" with the VALUE +/- buttons, then press the ENTER button. The first line of
the display will once again indicate whether your are currently editing NRPNs or RPNs. The second line shows
the MSB and LSB values. The cursor will initially be positioned over the MSB field. Use the VALUE +/- buttons
to enter the value 01h. Use the parameter buttons to switch to the right to the LSB field and enter the value
21h. You have now set up the NRPN and specified that
control and the three possible wheels are now available as sources for the controller #6/#38. If you specify the
wheel of the AIX 101 / 103 interface for the controller #6 (#38), you can now use it to affect the current sound
of your synthesiser. Press EXIT to leave the submenu.

controller #6 (or #38) can be applied to a filter. Pick
Please see page 64 for the NRPN controllers of the internal soundboard.
Note: We would advise less-experienced users against using the RPN controllers, as this may affect pitchbend
sensitivity and tuning in such a way that your AXON will play incorrect notes. And another note for insiders:
Normally, the underlying NRPN or RPN controller should be reset to NULL (7fh) after making changes with the
DATA ENTRY controller. The DATA ENTRY controller will then no longer have an effect. Your AXON does not
do this, as it would result in an enormous increase in MIDI data. These controllers are reset to NULL when
changing presets or changes to the NRPN/RPN itself, however.
AXON AX 100 MKII V. 2.0 (English) 47
Finger Pick
(OFF, ON) The pitch recognition of the AXON is best suited for use with a pick. You can also get good results
with finger picking, however. Simply switch this parameter to "ON". The pick split and pick control functions will
no longer be available in this case. Ensure that the current preset does not use a pick split, or that the pick
controller is disabled (NO CONTROLLER).
MIDI Tuning
Select the tuning of the MIDI output here. Because the AXON knows the notes that are picked, it can also
transpose them. It supports pitch changes of up to +/- 3 octaves, which can be set separately for each string.

Chain Mode
It is likely that you will want to change your programmed presets frequently when performing live. The Chain
mode of your AXON lets you program chains of presets that you can then call up easily in the required order.
Up to 32 Chain presets are supported, each with up to 32 preset steps. You can then step through the Chain
presets or the individual preset steps with the UP/DOWN buttons of your guitar interface, or use a footswitch to
step through the individual steps of a chain only.Connect the footswitch to the socket marked "Chain" on the
rear panel of the AXON. A single click will move forward one step, while a double-click will go back one step in
the chain. You can thus navigate all Chain presets and steps from your guitar using a combination of footswitch and UP/DOWN buttons.
Setting Up Chain Presets
Press the CHAIN button on the front panel of your AXON and select Chain preset 1-32 with the VALUE +/buttons. The top line of the display shows the name (here, No Name 1) and, next to it, the chain storage position (here, 1). The bottom line shows the preset on the left and, on the right, the corresponding step within the
chain (here, likewise 1).
Press the EDIT button to start programming the chain. The following parameters can be accessed using the
PARAMETER +/- buttons.

Send System Exclusive data. Use this submenu to send all important parameter settings of your AXON via
MIDI. The data can be received by a computer running suitable software such as a sequencer program, or
another AXON AX 100 MKII. This function can also be used to send the parameter set to the computer, manage it there in groups and reload it to the AXON. This can be useful for creating your own preset library. Press
the ENTER button and use the Parameter +/- buttons to select the range you would like to send. Use the
Value +/- buttons to select individual sections.
Press the ENTER button again to start the transfer. The transfer is complete when READY appears on the

Edit Sequence
Editing drum sequences. The AXON supports the programming of drum sequences that can be triggered by
the hold switch while in Preset mode. A distinction must be made between a pattern and a track sequence. A
pattern consists of a maximum of 16 individual steps of identical length. You may select up to four drum instruments from any drumkit and trigger them within the step at three different dynamic levels. Up to 32 patterns can be created in the Pattern Editor. You may then use the programmed patterns in a track sequence
that controls the patterns according to your specifications. Up to 32 program steps are available in which you
can comb

Press the ENTER button to open the drum sequencer menu.
Tempo
(EXT, 41–240) The tempo of the drum sequencer can be synchronised externally using the MIDI Clock
(EXT/MIDI IN) or internally by specifying a BPM (beats per minute) value between 41 (very slow) and 240
(very fast). In case of external synchronisation (by a MIDI keyboard or MIDI drums, for example), output does
not start until MIDI Start/Sync commands have been received. The temp set here will be overwritten by the
tempo in the preset and is only intended for editing sequences.

Solution:
Ensure that the MIDI cables are correctly connected (from the MIDI OUT of your AXON to the MIDI IN of your
synthesiser).
The MIDI

Bending doesn’t work properly.
Question: I hear the right note when I pick a string, but hammer-on, pull-off and bending does not work.
Possible problem: The pitchbend settings of the AXON and the external device may not match, or "Quantize"
is enabled.
Solution:
Check whether the pitchbend range settings of the external MIDI device match those of the AXON (GLOBAL
MODE).
Ensure that the QUANTIZE value in the preset split (PRESET MODE) is set to AUTO or OFF.
I get partially incorrect notes.
Question: When I play my guitar, the notes I hear are either partially or completely wrong.
Possible problem: Tuning discrepancy.
Solution:
Tune your guitar using the AXON tuning aid. If you need to tune the AXON to match your guitar, use the Tune
Base function in GLOBAL MODE.
The transposition function may be accidentally enabled in the preset split. Disable transposition (PRESET
MODE).

Differing string volumes
Question: One or more strings is too loud or soft in relation to the others.
Possible problem: the sensitivity of the individual strings is not set correctly.
Solution:
Adjust the sensitivity of the affected string(s) in the AXON. (-> GLOBAL/GUITAR)
Strong differences in the dynamics of individual notes
Question: What can I do about extremely irritating, strong dynamic differences between individual notes?
Possible problem: Incorrect velocity parameters.
Solution:
The velocity settings of the AXON must be suitable to the sound of the output device. Try reducing the velocity
sensitivity parameter in the split preset (PRESET MODE) and increasing the velocity offset parameter.
