From Our Research Team:

Affordable MIDI Control with Outstanding Feature Set!

Sure, the M-Audio Axiom 25 USB MIDI controller keyboard is small enough to fit into your desktop rig and affordable enough for any budget, but this little controller gives you big-time features! The Axiom 25 includes 25 semi-weighted, velocity-sensitive keys with assignable aftertouch, so you know you can play your virtual instruments with a natural, expressive touch. It also includes plenty of assignable trigger pads, rotary encoders, and transport buttons to work with your instruments and DAW programs. But one of our favorite parts of the Axiom 25 — apart from controllability — is the software package that comes with it!

You can get started making music right away with the included copy of Ableton Live Lite. A full composing, recording, remixing, improvising, editing, and performing suite, Live brings acoustic, electronic, and virtual instruments — as well as your digital recordings — together, in a really easy-to-use way. Apart from that, the M-Audio Axiom 25 even comes with free Enigma editor/librarian software to manage an unlimited number of setups via computer, so you can easily recall your presets.

All in all, the M-Audio Axiom 25 is an excellent MIDI controller for composing with virtual instruments in your home studio — and the compact format makes it right for your mobile products as well!

It was full of water

by Marc Ellis from HCMC, Vietnam

Music Background: composer
My gear is set up under my air-conditioner. The air-conditioner started leaking. All my stuff was safe, except for the Axiom 25. The water from the A/C leaked down onto the keys and into the board. Th... read more [+]is went on for a long time, probably a couple of weeks. When I noticed it, I picked up the Axiom and heard a lot of water sloshing around in it. I panicked. I unplugged it, took it into the bathroom and turned it over. The water poured out through the keys. After the water was out, I stood it on its side for a few days. I didn't dry it out. Today I plugged it in. Voila! It works perfectly. Is this a great little keyboard or what? close [-]

Totaly amazing is the only way to describe this unit! With the help of the .PDF manual, progamming is a breeze. Right out of the box the Axiom 25 works with Sonar Producer 5 like peanut butter and jel... read more [+]ly. Even the USB power supply bus is solid. Highly recommended to anyone who needs an extremely portable USB/midi keyboard for working on the move or in the studio!!! close [-]

Axiom 25 = Awsome MIDI Controller!!!

by Kevyn from Fort Wayne, Indiana
January 25, 2007
Music Background: Artist, Producer
I don't know a whole lot about MIDI in general so I needed something that would work right out the box the software I use (FL Studio, Reason 3.0, Acid) and this keyboard does that and then some! I did... read more [+] months of research on different brands before deciding to buy the Axiom 25 and I am very happy with this MIDI Controller.

I use this more so now with Reason than any other program that I have and I can now say that I'm really getting the full use out of Reason because of this controller. The build quality is great, very solid yet, lightweight so traveling with it is a snap even without a case or bag as it fits right up under my arm. The drum pads are very MPC like and are great for triggering samples and whatnot. My only gripe is that they should have put 10 pads on here to truly utilize the ReDrum in Reason. I don't use the knobs as much but like I said I'm new to MIDI and so I'm taking it one step at a time.

The keys feel very good and all the buttons have a rubber texture that feels nice as well. M-Audio really outdid themselves with this line of MIDI Controllers and I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to the Axiom 61 here in the near future!

Thanks M-Audio for making my transition to the world of MIDI a good one and a extra special thanks to Sweetwater for the excellent service. I won't go anywhere else for my studio equipment. close [-]

An Excellent Little Midi Keyboard with a very Authentic Feel!!!

by Chris Mac from Europe

I bought this little beast after using my 61 note synths and disliking the flimsy keys. I tried out the Axiom 25 and fell in love with feel of the keys...just like a Piano. I figured 25 keys was a bet... read more [+]ter choice for me as i already own a couple of 61 note synth keyboards. The drum pads are awesome, they feel very MPC like. The transport feature works flawless with Logic Pro...hit stop, play or record. I really love this little thing, i get things done alot quicker, and its on my lap all the time for laying down my musical ideas...very simple. close [-]
