M-Audio HyperControl for Ableton Live User Guide

HyperControl is a powerful technology that automatically maps your Axiom Pro controls (knobs, buttons, etc.) to the on-screen controls of Live. This helps you make music more quickly since you no longer have to perform the tedious and time-consuming task of assigning MIDI controls. Furthermore, since HyperControl is a two-way communication protocol, your Axiom Pro hardware and Live software always remain synchronized to each other. For example, if a knob is turned on Axiom Pro, its corresponding knob in Live will update. Alternatively, if an on-screen knob is turned within Live (using the mouse), the corresponding knob position of Axiom Pro will also update.
