M-Audio Axiom 25 MKII
The M-Audio Axiom 25 keyboard controller's smallness may fool you. Don't let the compact size turn you off, though. This advanced, 25-key, USB, mobile MIDI controller offers both semi-weighted action and assignable aftertouch. And the Axiom 25 keyboard's 8 rubberized trigger pads put drum programming and performance at your fingertips.
M-Audio also built in 8 endless rotary encoder knobs for you to get your hands on synth parameters, virtual mixer controls, and more. Assign any of the 6 transport controls to command other MIDI parameters. Virtually everything on the Axion 25 is freely MIDI-assignable, while the backlit LCD screen makes programming easy and intuitive. You get 20 memory locations for on-board storage, plus free Enigma music editor-librarian software to manage an unlimited number of setups with your computer.
Get into the action: The M-Audio Axiom series of mobile USB MIDI controllers has everything it takes to get the most from your MIDI software and hardware. Semi-weighted action complete with aftertouch gives you great feel and expression for both synth parts and pianistic passages. 8 rubberized trigger pads put your drums at your fingertips for programming with feel or for easy-fire samples or visual effects.
Total MIDI control: Assign the 8 rotary encoders to mixer controls like panning and effects sends, or to any synth parameters you want to control. Map the 9 sliders to software mixer faders or drawbars on your virtual organ. 6 buttons, pitch and mod wheels, and sustain and expression pedal jacks round out a tour de force of MIDI domination. Assigning controllers is simple, yet has the power to let you delve as deep as you want. Each controller can map to just about any applicable parameter in the MIDI spec, including independent channel addressing for each. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Intuitive front-panel programming: M-Audio Axiom MIDI controllers feature a large backlit LCD screen for visual feedback. You'll also find 9 dedicated front-panel function buttons to easily access common operations like preset/program change or MIDI channel ±, octave ±, and transpose ±. Use the controller mute button to prevent parameters from jumping when you change them, then press snapshot to transmit all current settings. 20 non-volatile memory locations instantly save and recall your favorite presets and you can manage an entire preset library on your computer using SysEx dumps and the included Enigma software editor/librarian for PC or Mac.
Mobile operation: The Axiom series is extremely compact and lightweight and is powered directly from your computer's USB bus. Take your music anywhere you want to go.
