Common AKAI AX60 Questions
How do I set up MIDI to control the AX60 from my DAW or another MIDI device?
Connect a MIDI cable from your MIDI interface's MIDI OUT to the AX60's MIDI IN. Configure your DAW to transmit on the MIDI channel that the AX60 is set to receive (typically Omni mode initially but can be set with a DIP switch on the rear).
How do I save a new sound I've created on the AX60?
The AX60 does not have internal patch memory, so saving sounds requires writing down the control knob settings, or using a MIDI sysex dump to an external device that supports sysex. You can't save directly on the synth itself.
The AX60's filter sounds weak or isn't responding as expected. What could be the problem?
First, check the Cutoff Frequency and Resonance knobs. Also, make sure the Filter Envelope Depth (ENV) knob is turned up to an audible level and that the Envelope Generator settings are appropriate, as these significantly influence the filter's behavior.
How do I use the AX60's onboard chorus effect?
The Chorus effect is controlled by a single knob on the front panel. Turning the knob clockwise increases the intensity of the chorus effect, affecting the overall sound of the patch.
What is the 'Program Advance' footswitch jack on the back used for?
The Program Advance footswitch jack, when used with a momentary footswitch, allows you to step through the different oscillator combinations (accessed by the 'Oscillator Assign' section) without using your hands, useful for live performance.
