FEATURES- Axiom 25 Advanced 25-key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller
Don't let the compact size of the Axiom 25 fool you. This advanced
25-key USB mobile MIDI controller features both semi-weighted
action and assignable aftertouch, plus eight rubberized trigger
pads that put drum programming and performance at your fingertips.
Eight endless rotary encoder knobs let you get your hands on synth
parameters, virtual mixer controls and more. Six transport controls
can also assign to control other MIDI parameters. Virtually
everything is freely MIDI-assignable--and the backlit LCD screen
makes programming easy and intutive. You get 20 memory locations
for on-board storage, plus free Enigma editor/librarian software to
manage an unlimited number of setups via computer.
* 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. Map the
nine 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 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 and our
free Enigma software editor/librarian for PC and Mac.
* 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.
* Ableton Live Lite 5
