Axiom 49 is The Ultimate MIDI Keyboard Controller for Studio and Performing Musicians!
Imagine using the transport buttons to control your DAW, playing drums and triggering samples using the velocity sensitive pads, sweeping filters and LFO's with encoder knobs, and playing the responsive keyboard with aftertouch cross-switching samples...Now you know what it's like to have an Axiom 49 at hand.
Upon opening the box, you'll notice the ultra-sturdy construction, tactile feel of the knobs, buttons and pads, and the luxurious keyboard action.
This is the best action in a portable semi-weighted keyboard that I've played, and I play a lot of 'em. You can even tweak the velocity response to suit your personal touch. Aftertouch travel when the key is down is easy to gauge, and the keys work quickly and quietly.
Even though it's very easy to program using the buttons and LCD screen, the latest FREE Enigma Editor Librarian allows you to program all Axiom 49 functions onscreen and save your presets.

Get Into the Action
The 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. Eight rubberized trigger pads put your drums at your fingertips for programming with feel—or easy fire samples or visual effects.
Total MIDI Control
Assign the eight rotary encoders to mixer controls like panning and effects sends, or to any synth parameters you want to control. The 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.
Mobile Operation
The Axiom series is extremely compact and lightweight and all models are powered directly from your computer’s USB bus. Choose the size that’s best for your needs, then take your music anywhere you want to go. Intuitive Front-Panel Programming
M-Audio Axiom MIDI controllers all feature a large backlit LCD screen for visual feedback and the 61-key and 49-key models also place a 10-key pad right on the front panel for direct, intuitive programming. 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, for example, 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 via SysEx dumps using the free Enigma software editor/librarian for PC and Mac.
