Audio Damage Axon - Manual (Page 15)

Copy/Paste
The COPY and PASTE buttons let you copy all of the settings from one voice and apply them to another voice.
Click the COPY button and all of the values of the current voice’s controls are stored within Axon. Switch to a
different voice, click the PASTE button, and those stored values will be applied to the voice. This lets you
easily set up two or more of Axon’s voices to create the same, or similar, sounds.
The Copy/Paste mechanism does not affect the voice’s mixer settings, nor does it work between separate
instances of Axon. If you need to move voice settings between two instances, use your host’s preset-saving
mechanism to save one instance’s settings in a file, then load that preset file into the other instance(s).
3. Transport Controls
The controls near the upper-left corner of Axon’s window adjust Axon’s
timing and tempo parameters.
Clock
The numbers labeled CLOCK display Axon’s current operating tempo. If Axon is using its internal timing
source, click and drag up/down on these numbers to make Axon play faster/slower. If Axon is following your
host program’s timing source, the CLOCK control is disconnected.
Note that Axon’s factory presets are all set to use your host’s timing information. The tempo value displayed
by the CLOCK control is a suggested tempo marking for the preset.
Source
The switch to the right of the CLOCK label switches Axon between using your host program’s timing
information and its internal timing source to set its tempo. There are three modes, labeled HOST, RST, and
INT. If HOST is illuminated, Axon follows your host’s tempo changes. If INT is illuminated, Axon uses an
internal timing source whose rate is set by the Clock control to set its tempo. RST is the same as HOST but in
this mode Axon resets the pulse counters of all seven neurons to zero when you stop your host program’s
transport. While the RST mode provides more predictable synchronization between Axon and other tracks in
your composition, you may find that the timing offsets or phases between Axon’s voices are subtly changed
when you stop and restart the song.
Click the appropriate word to switch between HOST, RST, and INT.
