lmao & thanks @ ur tutorial ....

baaaa! i think i have an axiom 49 second generation and I don't see ABCD. I have Zone and then 1234 and groups FEP but I dont get how to make this work. SOO frustrating. help?

@Mrmtjones On the 2nd gen, it looks like they tried to make it a little more intuitive, because obviously the way it was designed on the 1st gen made it really hard for people to use properly. I took a look at a detailed image of the 2nd gen and it seems like in the top left corner of each section of special inputs (sliders, knobs and drumpads) there's a tiny button marked Group. Just make sure all of those are depressed to be sure the input gets through.

@dugwyler I believe what the FEP buttons do has to do with DirectLink. I guess, if I read it correctly, DirectLink is basically a premapped layout of fader/knob/button/key assignments within the various devices found in reason. The idea, yet again I may be reading it wrong, is that when the button is on, let's say the F button, all the various premapped assignments will be active, when it's off they're all free as a bird. I'll having trouble with my 2nd gen axiom 49 as well.

I so very much wanted this to work with my axiom 25 gen 1.... unfortunately it didn't!

[dunklk]

@dunklk my bad- this DOES work, but your video doesn't mention that preset 10 needs to be selected (using the plus/minus buttons) Once you have p10 selected it works great! - Granted you do mention this is in the written instructions. Thanks for a useful vid anyway

[dugwyler]

@dunklk Cool, glad it worked in the end. Yeah, preset 10 is the one that's written to by Reason, so make sure you have that selected when using it. (For old versions of Reason, the Axiom used something like 6 different presets, each for a different instrument, which is now thankfully unnecessary.)

For anyone else, if following this vid doesn't fix your problem, make sure you're familiar with how control surfaces work in Reason in general (select the instrument you want to use for example).

[KelleyBates]

i have the axiom 25 2nd gen, i will be trying this and i will let you know if it works, thanks for the tutorial though!

[TheVividCode]

Didn't explain how to use the knobs.mNm

[dugwyler]

@TheVividCode Once you enable all groups you'll be able to control knobs and sliders in Reason by following the normal directions. Try it out.

@dugwyler My led screen says off instead of a number.. what do i do to change that?

[teban789]

this did not help out at all. Can someone please tell me how i can make my axiom 25 work at its fullest potential? I am just having a hard time with the knobs. (they dont work)

[phonodoping]

THANK YOU! VERY HELPFUL!

[tonewheelmonster]

you are the grandmaster for posting this. Thanks man

[sergeynevone]

Display on the right side? What is this?

[dugwyler]

@sergeynevone Yeah, the video was mirrored to make it easier to create. Just ignore that part, heh.
