ReviewsIt's ALL THERE!!!
by Tyler Chance from Keller, Texas
This board ROCKS! I've had three other midi keyboards, and I've played all the rest at guitarcenter...the M-Audio Axiom is by far the best.

It's pretty much everything you need for midi. If you're looking for a keyboard controller, this is the one! close [-]

by Chris Montano from Hialeah, FL
Amazing little machine. Way better than i expected. For the price I was honestly expecting the same casing as my keystation 49 but with knobs. This thing is built like a rock! Nice semi-weighted keys ... read more [+]make for better-than-expected action. Menu and number pad made switching control changes and channels a breeze. And the Enigma software was an unexpected surprise. I don't use the pads too much because i use a PadKontrol but they are just as responsive and fully routable. All in all, mucho bang for your buck. close [-]

by Shane Hendricks from Hattiesburg, MS
I was extremely impressed with this controller's construction and features. It's quite heavy...much heavier than I expected. All of the pots, sliders, keys, buttons, and controls feel very solid. S... read more [+]emi-weighted action is nice, and the trigger pads work great. The blue backlight on the LCD is good eye candy; I've been so accustomed to looking at green backlighting, so that's a nice change. As far as doing the job, it rocks. Very solid on my AGP G4 dual 1.2 GHz (old). And the Enigma software works great too; you can have UNLIMITED setups, and it comes preconfigured for many software packages. Get this! Use it. Live it. Love it. Sorry, I don't have any CONS to report yet. I hope I don't find any! close [-]
July 15, 2006 Music Background: Musician/composer since 1986 Good but not the best
by KHAOS from Fort Wayne, IN
Ok I have had this midi controller for the better part of a year now and I must admit that it is everything I need for making music in Reason, Live, FL Studio, etc but there are some things that could... read more [+] have really made this the midi controller of all midi contollers.April 25, 2008 Music Background: Artist for 21yrs, Producer for 8yrs, Student for life My issues with this controller start with M-Audios way of thinking and anybody that buys their product has a good knowledge of midi in general and so even after going through the manual I still don't understand what a lot of the programs buttons do and how they can be used to help me make better music. But outside of that I have no quirks about this bad boy as laying down drum tracks is a cakewalk using the pads and mixing in Reason, Live, FL Studio has gotten a lot easier using the 8 sliders and the buttons under them for muting certain sounds the like. I have yet to learn how to switch banks of faders and knobs but that goes back to the manual and its lack of clarity but build quality is top notch and the keys feel great and very responsive! My favorite feat has to be the pads but more of them would so much better as well especially for Reasons ReDrum or the FPC in FL Studio. Like I said it's good but not the best out there and right now I can only think of one other controller pushing the line on this and that's the AKAI MPK49. Either way you can't go wrong with this! close [-] AWESOME CONTROLLER, a few livable quirks though.
by Chris Rarick from GA
I've had my Axiom for almost 6 months now, so it's been long enough to find something I dislike about it, but first the good stuff.December 2, 2007 Music Background: Guitarist, DnB -this thing is very versatile, EVERYTHING except for the menu... read more [+]/keypad buttons is assignable. The drum pads are VERY responsive (although they could be a little more so, and that's being picky). Lot's of space for presets. Transport controls. This thing is Really great with Ableton Live, (which it comes with a light version, 4 clips x 4 channels only, but still workable). Now... The rotary encoders click, they're not smooth sweeping, it's like their notched, I don't really care for that, you can't "feel" filter sweeps and the like. The rotary encoders also don't transmit smoothly, you have to mess with different velocity curves to get it right, and if you move them too quick, the parameter you're adjusting will jump (not the jumping rotaries the tutorials talk about). Rotary response can be choppy, I noticed with predator that the sliders give smooth adjustments, while the rotaries jump to different fractions of the parameter ( like 1/8,1/4,1/2, ect...) Other than those few quirks, the rotaries do work with a lot of things very smoothly, and the sliders always do, it's just a problem if you want to set the sliders for levels, or an ADSR envelope, otherwise, this thing is great. Another note, while it's cheap, and if you don't need the extra keys, I'd spend the extra 150 on a ReMOTE SL 25 if you have the $$. close [-]
