I might have something for you! (and anyone who stumbled into this thread)
I created a simple Bitwig Controller Script for my Axiom Pro 61, that lets it be used as a normal generic midi controller, but also gives functionality to the Axiom's transport buttons. Credits to "teetrinkers" who created the Bitwig Script for the Axiom 25, which I referenced.
Play - Starts Bitwig's Playback
Rec - Toggles Bitwigs Record
Stop - Stops Bitwigs Playback
>> - Selects Next Track
<< - Selects Previous Track
LOOP - Toggles current window visible/invisible
Soft Buttons S10-S17 - Functionality dependent on what "Button Mode" you've selected
Soft Button S18 - Cycles through "Button Modes" (Select -> Mute -> Solo -> Arm)
Change all occurances of "Axiom Pro 61" to "Axiom Pro 49", and I think you'll be golden!
This script should give everyone (not just Axiom owners) a solid base to start creating their own controller scripts =D

I've added some comments to make it somewhat more understandable.
To install this script (or any, really) in BitWig
- Create a new folder called "AxiomPro" in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts\
- In the new AxiomPro folder, create a new file called "AxiomPro.control.js", and save the above script/code inside of it.
- Goto Bitwig's Settings -> Controllers -> Click "Detect Available Controllers", and you should see a new controller entry get added!
If you want to learn more about scripting, or your script/device does not get recognized, then in BitWig goto Help -> Control Surface Scripting Guide, and read it. =]
Cheers
