3.6.1Zones
The Zone feature on your Axiom is used to control several different sound devices at the same time. In doing so, you can create
splits, layers, harmony effects and more.
For example, you can split the keyboard on your Axiom so your left hand plays a bass sound and your right hand plays a piano
sound. You can create a setting where you hear a chord by playing a single note, or you can set up a way to quickly switch between
different instruments. The Zone feature on the Axiom allows you to do all of these things and more.
