Using Axiom 25 Classic with Aboleton Live 9

I just happened to hook up my old trusty Axiom 25 Classic with Ableton Live 9, and I have found out many issues like the rotary knobs (encoders) do not work right or cannot assign notes to pads etc.

Here are some tips;

• Quit the Live
• Connect Axiom Classic 25 to the USB interface and leave it on.
• Select Group A, B and C all together. This can be accomplished by turning Zone/Group button on then pressing A, B and C group buttons altogether. The group buttons are important because certain controls are only activated for programming by activating them. Also select Zone1 only.
• Now go to Live's preference, click the MIDI tab then you should find Axiom Classic 25 loaded. There is a DUMP button, and press it. This will load the presets.
• The usable presets are presets 18, 19, and 20 only so Press Recall button and then using +/- button select one of them. On program 20, the "drum pads" should trigger scenes. If you want to use them as pads use the Program 18. Also on program 20, the rotary knobs are assigned to the volume faders on tracks 1 through 8 by default. You can reassign them from Live.
