Thread: axion 25 as a midi input device and a control surface in mc5

According to tech support MC5 doesn't support surface control, you have to upgrade to home studio or sonar

Katchi - who in tech support told you that? I'm afraid that's completely incorrect. http://www.cakewalk.com/images/musiccreator_4_vs_m usiccreator_5.pdf this is from Kate's link at the top of this forum regarding what is available in MC5 as compared to MC4. notice both support Control Surfaces and ACT. besides - my instructions above on how to get...

Hi Beagle, I have two emails from Chad, the first one was about getting a preset for the Axiom 25 currently they only support the 49 and 61, so he sujested to use MIDI learn or try the existing preset to see if they work.

Please remove any controllers that are currently listed. Now click the Add New Controller...

Steve there is no preset for the Axiom 25, the only presets available are: M-Audio Axiom 49(preset 17) M-Audio Axiom 49(preset 20) So please send me the preset for the Axiom 25 or make it available as a download for everybody. Tnxz

I have all the transport controls working except [...
