Introduction
HyperControl Mode allows your Axiom AIR 25, Axiom AIR 49, or Axiom AIR 61 to communicate with your
digital audio workstation (DAW). We've mapped the keyboard's controls so you can easily use it to control
some of the most frequently used software features. This means you can use Axiom AIR keyboard's
knobs, buttons, etc. to affect transport (stop, play, record), mixing controls (faders and panning), and
virtual instrument or signal processing plug-in parameters.
HyperControl is enabled in all versions of Apple Logic Pro 9.0.0 and later.
This guide will walk you through the setup and operation of HyperControl so you can control Logic Pro
using your Axiom AIR keyboard.

Faders
Important: Only Axiom AIR 49 and Axiom AIR 61 have the eight faders described in this section. All three
keyboards, however, have a master fader. In both modes, the master fader will control your Logic Pro
project's master volume level.
HyperControl Mix Mode: Press the Mix
button next to the faders to switch them between two
functions in HyperControl Mix Mode:
•
Volume: In this mode, the Mix button will be lit red. The eight faders will control the volume
levels of the eight tracks of the current bank (outlined in blue). Use the left or right directional
buttons (when they are in Track Select Mode) to select another bank.
•
Send: In this mode, the Mix button will be lit amber. The eight faders will control the levels of
the first eight send slots of the currently selected track. Use the up or down directional buttons
(when they are in Track Select Mode) to select another track.
HyperControl Inst/FX Mode: Press the Inst/FX button next to the faders to put them in HyperControl
Inst/FX Mode.
In this mode, the eight faders control the parameters of the current ("in-focus") effects or instrument plug-

Fader Buttons
Important: Only Axiom AIR 49 and Axiom AIR 61 have the eight fader buttons described in this section.
All three keyboards, however, have a master fader button, which serves an identical function but for your
Logic Pro project's master track rather than for a particular track.
On Axiom AIR 49 and Axiom AIR 61, press the Mode button (next to the fader buttons) to cycle through
the four modes described below. Use the left or right directional buttons (when they are in Track Select
Mode) to select another bank of tracks (outlined in blue).
Select Track Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be dimly lit red. Press any of the eight buttons to
select any of the eight track(s) of the current bank (outlined in blue). The currently selected fader buttons
will be dimly lit red.
Mute Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be lit amber. Press any of the eight buttons to mute any of
the eight track(s) of the current bank (outlined in blue). The currently selected fader buttons will be lit
amber.
Solo Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be lit green. Press any of the eight buttons to solo any of
the eight track(s) of the current bank (outlined in blue). The currently selected fader buttons will be lit
green.
Record-Enable Mode: In this mode, the Mode button will be fully lit red. Press any of the eight buttons to
record-enable any of the eight track(s) of the current bank (outlined in blue). The currently selected fader
