Note: This FAQ applies to the original Axiom keyboards; see this article for the Axiom (2nd gen).

Once you have programmed the controls of your Axiom, you can store your setup into one of the 20 memory locations the Axiom offers.  If you do not store any programming changes to memory, they will be lost when the keyboard is powered off.

The 20 locations are accessed using the Store and Recall buttons. Use the Store button to write your control setups to a memory location. Use the Recall button to get your control setups back.

To store all of the current control settings on your Axiom:

49- and 61-note versions:

• Press the Store button.
• Enter the number of the memory location (1 to 20) using the numeric keypad.
  

25-note version:

• Press the Advanced button.
• Press the Store key.
• Enter the number of the memory location (1 to 20) using the numeric data entry keys, or the -/+ buttons.
• Press the Enter key to confirm and overwrite this preset location.

To recall any preset:

49- and 61-note versions:

• Press the Recall button.
• Enter the number of the memory location (1 to 20) using the numeric keypad; or use the -/+ buttons to increment, decrement the currently selected memory.  When the display stops flashing, the preset is recalled.

25-note version:

• Press the Advanced button.
• Press the Recall button.
• Enter the number of the memory location (1 to 20) using the numeric data entry keys.
• Press the Enter key to confirm.  When the display stops flashing, the preset is recalled.
  or
• Press the Recall button.
• Use the -/+ buttons to increment, decrement the currently selected memory.  When the display stops flashing, the preset is recalled.

The controls on your Axiom are separated into four groups (three on the 25-note version), labeled A, B, C and D (or A, B and C on the 25-note version).  It is possible to recall each group individually; however, for most situations, all groups should be active when recalling a different preset.  The controls are grouped as follows:

The active groups during recall of memories are indicated on the LCD display.  The Zone/Group button is used to select which groups are active.  If Zone/Group is active, the LED will light inside the Zone/Group button.  On the 49- and 61-note versions, when Zone/Group is active, the group buttons A, B, C and D (located below faders D13 through D16) are used to activate/deactivate Groups A-D, as the LCD screen shows.  On the 25-note version, when Zone/Group is active, the STOP, PLAY and REC buttons are used to activate/deactivate Groups A-C, as the LCD display shows.

You can switch Groups on and off by pressing the Zone/Group button followed by the chosen Group buttons.
When you enable a single group, the other two (or three) groups are automatically disabled. To enable multiple groups, press the respective group buttons at the same time.  Whenever you engage the Recall function, you will notice that Zone/Group select becomes active automatically.
