Configuring M Audio Axiom To Sonar

I searched the internet high and low for some sort of guide on how to hook a axiom 61 key keyboard up to Sonar 8. After being unsuccessful, and limited help from M audio (since they support pro tools and ableton ) I made the Video Myself. This will cover getting the transport to work, and setting up your Axiom and ACT just the basics to give you a idea!

Thanks so much for the vid, man! Made setting up my Axiom-49 in Sonar a breeze.

@Lesolin no Problem

This applies also if I connect my axiom trough an mbox 2?

[charliehustlle]

@Dantovksy666 Yes sir it should work also

Thanks for this vid. I set up my 25. For some reason when I made the "Cakewalk Generic..." it kinda messed things up with the transport. I ended up deleting it and everything was straight. Thanks again for the info.

@lwhitefamily no problem

Thank you very much man. Just got my new Oxygen 49 and was baffled as to how to synch it with sonar 8. Really appreciate it.

This is awesome, THANK YOU!!!

However, I'd like to use the pads to trigger drums... any ideas on how to map them BACK to being notes?

Thanks for this= made setting up my axiom 49 and sonar 6 producer easy. Why can't Calewalk give better instructions on this.

[laxplayin]

so is there no way to set the fast forward and rewind buttons?

I'm in sonar 8.5 and when i click on controllers, the input ports say none even when i select the ACT midi controller. How did you get that 61 key thing to show up?

Windows 8? U must have meant 7. But for Axiom 25 and Protools just go to the M-audio website and you should be able to dowload the free software for it.

[DEJAVIEW2007]

Charlie! You are a God amongst men!! Thank you so much for putting this together and saving me lotsa lost time and probably many headaches!

Great video!

just one question tho. are you using aftertouch on your Axiom? I can't seem to figure out just what it does inside Sonar. It doesn't seem to control any VST knobs or generic transport controls. have you figured out how to set up AT?

@zblip2

If you can't find Axiom in the controller preset, update sonar to 6.1 or higher.

If you can't find Axiom in a track input, make sure to turn Axiom on before booting up Sonar.
