‘Neck’ (control) section

START/STOP button

This button allows you to transmit MIDI Start and

Stop messages to start or halt playback of an external

sequencer.

DOWN/UP PATCH buttons

These buttons can be used for selecting the preceding

(DOWN) or next (UP) Patch memory, EDIT parameters,

or entering parameter values. In certain cases, press-

ing them simultaneously will switch the selected

parameter on and off. In other cases, pressing them

simultaneously recalls the default value of the

selected parameter.

EXPRESSION BAR/TOUCH CONTROLLER

Press the Expression Bar to generate Modulation

messages (CC01) and/or Aftertouch. Behind the

Expression Bar (the “big switch”), you will ﬁnd a rib-

bon strip. That is the Touch Controller. Slide your ﬁn-

ger towards the left or right on this ribbon to trans-

mit Pitch Bend messages.

KEYBOARD MODE buttons

Press one of these buttons to select a Whole mode,

the Layer, or Split mode. See page 9.

DATA ENTRY knob

This knob (located behind the [START/STOP] button)

can be used to transmit the assigned MIDI messages

in realtime.

D Beam sensors

Move your hand over these two sensors to generate

the assigned messages.

D Beam ON/OFF switch

Press this switch to activate (indicator lights) or

switch off (indicator dark) the D Beam Controller.

Note: Be sure to select the OFF position whenever you are not

using the D Beam Controller (to save battery life).

EDIT buttons

Press one of these buttons ([CONTROL], [DATA], or

[PRG≈CHG]) to select the corresponding EDIT level.

You can then use the numeric keypad to call up the

parameter you wish to set.

WRITE button

Press this button to save the current settings to one

of the AX-7’s Patch memories. Writing a Patch also

involves pressing other buttons (see p. 17).

Display

This three-character display keeps you posted about

the selected Patch memory, the tempo, or the param-

eter value you set.

PATCH SELECT buttons

If none of the EDIT buttons lights, the buttons [A/B]

and [1]~[8] allow you to enter the number of the

desired Patch memory (two banks of 64 memories

each). After pressing one of the EDIT buttons, the

buttons [A/B], [1]~[8] and [TRANSPOSE] (which then

functions as [9]) can be used for selecting the desired

parameter (see p. 10).

TRANSPOSE button

Usually, this button allows you to switch the AX-7’s

keyboard transposition on and off and to set the

transposition interval. When [CONTROL], [DATA], or

[PRG≈CHG] lights, however, this buttons can be used

for selecting a parameter (in which case it functions

as [9]).
