ams doesn't do remapping, it's an overkill application that,
among 1000 other things, can be (ab)used to monitor
incoming MIDI events.
Connect the axioms output to ams' input in the MIDI tab
of qjackctl.
Open 'View -> Control Center' from the menu, events will
show up in the left column as they arrive.
There is a checkbox labelled 'Enable Note Events' on the
bottom left, useful for monitoring purposes.

qmidiroute is GUI-based midi router, hopefully what You're
looking for.
In qjackctl, insert qmidiroute in between the axioms output
and the Inputs of the apps to be controlled.
I don't have it installed here ATM, but I recall its interface
being intuitive and user-friendly. It is about defining rules
for remapping, like changing MIDI channel, adding an
offset to the Note numbers of each Note event, remapping
events of one controller number to another...

welcome!

qmidiroute for the remapping and aseqdump and/or ams as a monitor
are a good choice IMHO.

aseqdump is simple though GUI-less, just type aseqdump into a
terminal and a port will show up in qjackctl.
