Conﬁguring the AX-7

Your AX-7 comes with a great many MIDI parameters, or message types, that can be transmitted so as to con-

trol your MIDI rig to your liking. Most of the following parameters can be set for the Upper and Lower sections

independently – and most of them can be saved to a Patch memory (see p. 17).

Note: The available EDIT parameters will be presented in the order they can be selected. See page 14 if all you want to do for the

time is being is assign different MIDI channels to the Upper and/or Lower sections. You will also ﬁnd a list of the available parame-

ters on the AX-7’s bottom panel.

Selecting the parameter to be edited

The AX-7’s Edit parameters can be accessed via three

buttons:

When none of the above buttons lights, you are in

“play mode” (i.e. where you cannot change the

above parameters). That also means that the PATCH

SELECT keypad ([A/B], [1]~[8]) can be used for select-

ing Patch memories.

After pressing [CONTROL], [DATA], or [PRG≈CHG],

however, the buttons [0] (A/B) [1]~[8] and [9]

(TRANSPOSE) allow you to select the desired param-

eter. These numbers appear below the buttons and

are printed in grey

Here is how to select the desired parameter:

(1) Look at the list on the bottom panel to ﬁnd

out which EDIT button you need to press.

(2) Press [CONTROL], [DATA], or [PRG≈CHG],

depending on the column that contains the

desired parameter.

The number of the ﬁrst parameter now ﬂashes

in the display.

(3) Use the [0]~[9] buttons or [DOWN]/[UP] to

select a parameter.

After about three seconds, the display shows

the value currently set for the selected parame-

ter.

(4) Press [LOWER] or [UPPER] to select the key-

board section whose settings you wish to

change.

Note: It is now no longer possible to select a different

KEYBOARD MODE. You need to leave the EDIT mode

altogether before being able to do that.

(5) Use [0]~[9] or [DOWN]/[UP] to make the

desired setting.

Some parameters can be set to 0FF. To do so,

simultaneously press [UP] and [DOWN].

(6) Press [ENTER] to conﬁrm the value or setting.

Press [EXIT] to return to the previous value.

(7) Press [EXIT] if you want to select another

parameter from the active EDIT group.

To select a parameter from a different group,

press the corresponding EDIT button

([CONTROL], [DATA], [PRG≈CHG]), then return

to step (3) above.
