Before diving into the driver hunt, it is vital to understand what makes the Axiom Pro 49 unique. Unlike basic MIDI controllers, the Axiom Pro features HyperControl. This two-way communication protocol allows the keyboard to "talk back" to your DAW. When you select a track in Logic Pro, the faders on the Axiom Pro automatically map to that track. When you tweak a software synth, the LCD screen on the keyboard updates to show the parameter name.
