Axiom 49 Driver

Axiom AIR 49 or Axiom AIR 61 keyboards running firmware earlier than v1.1 will display S.E.Not.Impl ERR shortly after Ignite is launched. Ignite 1.1 requires updated firmware for the Axiom AIR 49 or Axiom AIR 61. If you are updating to High Sierra and already have the latest driver for your device installed, you will not need to re-install the driver or complete these steps. While your M-Audio products are ready for macOS High Sierra, that doesn't mean everybody is.

Ignite Version 1.4.1 is Here

Featuring the new MIDI Learn Mode, Ignite 1.4.1 lets you write, record, and produce music with your favorite keyboard controller.

Inspiring Sounds

Ignite includes over 275 instruments, many of which are taken from our renowned instrument collections - including Strike, Structure, and Velvet. All sounds have been optimized to load quickly, and the editing controls are automatically mapped to your Ignite supported keyboard. These extraordinary sounds include keyboards, drums, percussion, basses, guitars, synths, strings, brass, and woodwinds.

Audio Appeal

In addition to hundreds of onboard instruments and extensive MIDI control, Ignite supports two tracks of simultaneous audio recording, such as guitar and voice, a stereo workstation, bass and guitar, etc. Effects can be added to any audio track, and time stretching--powered by Radius from iZotope--is also provided.

Powerful Creative Tools

Ignite features Smart MIDI technology to help jump-start your ideas and enhance your music-making skills. The Chord Player generates a chord pattern from a single key, while the Phrase Player can provide a single-voice line to add to your composition. Both the Chord and Phrase player include dozens of patterns in modern music genres - these aren't canned, boring MIDI patterns. Tailor the performance of these Players by adjusting feel, speed and intensity. The Flexible arpeggiator plays held notes individually, either as a musical flourish or in a rhythmic pattern.

Instant Integration with Select Alesis, AKAI Professional, and M-Audio Keyboards

Simply connect any Ignite supported keyboard or controller to your computer, and Ignite provides seamless integration. The keyboard is automatically detected and controls are automatically mapped when connected to your computer. Swapping keyboards? The controls are automatically updated and mapped. Open the SPECS tab for an up-to-date list of Ignite supported keyboards.

Share Your Passion

  • New in Ignite Version 1.4.1:
    • MIDI Learn Mode maps Ignite 1.4.1 to your favorite keyboard controller
    • Numerous optimizations
  • Creative Workflow
    • Capture your ideas quickly and make music - without getting bogged down with technical jargon and complicated steps.
    • Record vocals, guitar or any audio input source. Ignite supports stereo audio recording and playback using ASIO, Core Audio and WASAPI audio interfaces.
    • Individual musical ideas are captured as phrases and are placed in the Arranger. The Arranger is an organic 'stage' where you can organize your music ideas and phrases in whatever way make sense to you.
    • Clips can be any length, and don't have to be aligned into a pre-determined structure (such as tracks and lanes). Multiple Clips can be played back together, or even grouped to create more complex phrases and song sections.
    • Clips and Multi-Clips can be quickly duplicated in the Arranger using a few simple commands, making it easier to experiment and audition new ideas.
  • Instant Integration with Ignite-Supported Keyboards
    • Ignite will instantly recognize any Ignite-supported keyboard controller from Alesis, AKAI Professional, or M-Audio once it is connected to your computer.
    • Key parameters will be automatically assigned, or mapped, to the front panel controllers. The on-screen image labels the controllers with their current parameters, providing visual reminders.
  • Superior AIR Instrument Sounds
    • Included with Ignite are over 275 remarkable instrument sounds developed by AIR Music Technology. This international team also created the acclaimed Hybrid, Strike, Transfer, Structure, and Velvet instruments for Pro Tools - the industry-standard professional music and audio workstation.
    • Instruments include keyboards, drums, percussion, basses, guitars, synths, strings, brass, and woodwinds.
  • Creative Kick-starters
    • Smart MIDI technology provides both a Chord Player and a Phrase Player.
    • The Chord Player plays a chord pattern using either simple or advanced voicings.
    • The Phrase Player can be used to deliver a single-voice melodic phrase, or even a drum pattern depending on the instrument selected.
    • The arpeggiator plays notes individually, either as a musical flourish or in a rhythmic pattern.
    • Five included audio effects; reverb, compression, delay, EQ and distortion.
  • Collaborate, Send, and Share
  • Share your musical ideas and songs with other musicians through SoundCloud.
    • Export WAV and MIDI files, and import them into any DAW recording software - including Pro Tools.

I want to play with the Players but all the options are greyed out. Why?

Can I bypass an effect?
There is no Global Bypass of all effects. You can turn down the Amount on most effects and you can turn the individual effects on/off.
There is no 'power off' button on my reverbs? Why not? How do I turn them off?
To turn off the reverb, simply turn the specified reverb effect all the way down.
How many channels of audio can Ignite record simultaneously?
Ignite allows for two simultaneous channels of audio recording - Left and Right. Upon recording, the two channels will be organized and saved into a single clip in the Arrangement view.
Why can't I change the buffer size?

If your audio interface allows for the changing of buffer sizes, you will find the option to do so in the Preferences > Audio Setup menu in the bottom right corner. If this option does not show, you will need to change your choice of audio interface in order to adjust any buffer size.
How do I split an audio clip?
As of the first release of Ignite, audio clips can only be adjusted from the beginning or the end of the clip and cannot be split.
