M-Audio Axiom Pro49 cannot be found by Logic Pro X

Please

Try this way

Having made an installation from scratch, I just install Logic Pro X and

HyperControl Installer run only if Logic Pro 9 is installed, so …

- Open Terminal and write or copy this:

mkdir /Applications/Logic\ Pro.app

- Now you can run HyperControl Installer v1.0.6 64bit from M-Audio Support Site:

http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=1218

- After HyperControl installation, open Applications folder, right click on Logic Pro (fake)

and select "Show Package Contents" in contextual menu.

Now you can see folder named "Contents" and inside it a folder named "MIDI Device Plug-ins"

- Copy folder "MIDI Device Plug-ins" which contains "Axiom Pro.bundle"," Axiom.bundle" and "Oxygen.bundle"

inside folder /Library/Application Support/

you can do the same with terminal:

sudo mv /Applications/Logic\ Pro.app/Contents/MIDI\ Device\ Plug-ins/ /Library/Application\ Support/

- Run Logic Pro X and add your M-Audio

Remember ( if you make same mistake…)

you can not remove a control surface in setup if you do not enable "control surfaces" in Preferences/Advanced Menu for the moment

my Axiom Pro 61 now is working correctly ….

Hi, Paolo

And sorry for my english ...

I bought an axiom 49 and took it back as its Auto-map software isnt compatible yet, rediciulous as a former Cubase user I always knew Logic PTools and Cubase are the top 3 DAWS... Anyway while I had it I realised I really only kneed a Keyboard for Pinao and synth sounds and to punch ina beat or two but.... I dont like the way the Drums are mapped in GM, I know this is off topic but can someone point me in the right direction on say how to swap what keys the bass drum and snare are on?

Thanks In Advance.

Hi Paolo,

I have the same trouble!

Can you send me the axiom bundle files?

Thank you,

Hi dana

This is "midi device plugins" folder

Extract and Copy this folder in /Library/Application Support and then start Logic Pro X

Using the following 2 posts I was able to get my Axiom Pro 25 Hyper Control working with Logic Pro X / Mavericks (Mac OS 10.9)

~~~~ First ~~~~

Please install the following update of HyperControl and it will work:

Axiom_Pro_Logic_HyperControl_OSX_1.0.2-2

this is the previous update from 2010.

This works.. please don't install the latest 1_0.4 update of hypercontrol.

Heres the Link btw, if you want to directly download the 1.0.2-2

~~~~~ AND ~~~~~~

HyperControl Installer v1.0.6 64bit from M-Audio Support Site:

http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=1218

Thanks for everyones help!

Thank you for that tid bit!

Finally!

I was struggling all day trying to figure out how to get my oxygen 49 to show up. Totally worked since it's all bundled in the direct link with axiom as well.

FyI M-Audio, got bought out by the company that owns Akai. Not sure how much support there will be for M-audio products now, but when I mentioned buying the Axiom, the guy was suggesting the Akais instead.

thank you so much for this! i have one problem thou', but i dont know if it has anything to do with using the old drivers with logic pro x, but when i'm in transport mode and tries to assign knobs/parameters to different plugins the values just jumps from the lowest to the highest.

do anyone else have this problem?

Well I just purchased a brand new iMac for the sake of Logic X, currently running 10.8.5, and I've tried every solution in this thread as well as others I've found, and I still can't even get it to recognize my Axiom Pro 61.

At one point it briefly seemed to acknowledge the presence of a some controller, but I have yet to even get the keys to register, let alone any of the HyperControl features. It is literally useless at the moment.

This is in addition to issues I'm now having with my interface (Apogee Duet Firewire) - my whole setup is effed right now.

Given how everything worked so flawlessly in Logic 9/10.6.8 on my trusty 4 year old MBP, I was reclucant to upgrade anything, and now I see why. I totally regret buying this iMac/Logic X.

The funny thing is it isn't even one with a Fusion drive - just a plain ole 7200 RPM disk, which I thought would've been a safe bet as far as compatibility issues are concerned. Not so much.

So bummed 😟

The Axiom is one of those bits of gear that many people have issues with no matter what DAW... or Mac/PC even...... There is no clear fix all for everyone unfortunately.... and their HyperControl software is so flaky at times, it's beyond a joke...

As for your Duet? What issues are you having? Distortion or interuption?

If so did you read the following on the Apogee website?

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
For customers with Haswell Macs

If you are experiencing interrupted or distorted audio on a new 2013 Haswell Mac, Apogee has developed a beta update for Duet 2, Duet for iPad & Mac and Quartet that may resolve the issue. If you have already contacted Apogee support and received a support ticket number please email betafeedback@apogeedigital.com and include the support ticket number and "New 2013 Mac Beta" in the title. If you do not have a support ticket number please click on this link to start the process: http://www.apogeedigital.com/contact-support.php

Update: Apogee have clarified that the fix is only for Duet for Mac and iPad and not the older Firewire Duet... as well as the Duet 2 and Quartet

Not sure if you have the original Axiom or not but I have the Axiom 61 2nd Gen. If you had Hypercontrol / Directlink working on your MBP why not go back and read the OP's first post in this thread and simply copy the Plug-ins to your new iMac? I know it works because I just purchased a new iMac and copied them over. Also the latest version of Mavericks is 10.9.1 and LPX is 10.0.6. Until there is a fix (doubtful) you will need to copy the Plug-ins after every LPX update. This is a MAudio problem! Not an Apple iMac, LPX, Audio Interface or HD problem. Copying the GB plug-in works in the new GB 10.0.1 as well but you will find it located in a different folder on your MBP.

PS: If your new iMac doesn't recognize your keyboard at all try a different cable. I was using a USB2 extension cable on my older iMac with no problems but it would not work on the new iMac with the USB3 ports. My solution was to buy a USB3 extension cable. Although the Axiom is USB2 for some reason this solved my problem.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I didn't see the Haswell message before I bought it - I really didn't anticipate a hardware refresh being a potential problem, figuring the OS would be the potential hangup to worry about (which is why I kept it on 10.8). I guess I should've been more thorough in my research - lesson learned.

In all fairness I'm uncertain about the status of the Duet issues at this point, as I haven't yet had a chance to really do much with it, but it does output sound at least. The only problem I've noticed so far is the inability to control volume with the keyboard, which is a relatively minor issue I can deal with. I haven't tried recording or anything like that yet, as so far I've been preoccupied with the Axiom issue. I'm crossing my fingers that the volume control issue is the extent of it - one can hope I guess.

Thanks again.

Ah, I didn't think about the cable, as I bought it fairly recently, but it is a 2.0 cable, so maybe that will do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion - I'll give it a shot.

As for copying the plugins from my old MBP, I actually did that with no luck. I realize it is unlikely that M-Audio will release a fix, so hopefully the cable will at least allow me use it as a basic Midi keyboard - I'd consider hypercontrol a bonus.
