HyperControl personalities (m-audio.com/support): HyperControl offers fast, easy, automatic
mapping of the Axiom AIR Mini 32's buttons and knobs to many frequently used software features and
settings. When used with a supported DAW application, you can control the transport, mixing controls
(faders and panning) and virtual instrument or signal processing plug-in parameters. Furthermore, you
can switch between HyperControl and custom MIDI operation on the fly to match your particular
needs. To enable HyperControl with your Axiom, some applications require additional software to be
installed. Visit m-audio.com/hypercontrol

Optional Axiom device drivers for Windows (m-audio.com/support): These drivers let you use your
Axiom with more than one application simultaneously and/or in conjunction with other class-compliant
USB devices with audio capabilities. Mac systems do not need these device drivers.
