M-Audio Axiom 49 G2 USB MIDI Controller

M-Audio Axiom 49

 is a compact, 49-key controller for use with your music software and MIDI gear. It features piano-style, semi-weighted keys for a musically satisfying playing experience, in addition to being a comprehensive "data entry" controller.

Large dynamic trigger pads make the Axiom 49 easy to program beats and trigger one-shot samples, while encoder knobs and buttons deliver complete real-time control over your software. DirectLink mode offers easy access to common DAW functions, including transport, mixer, track pan, and virtual instrument parameters, with no complicated setup required.

With independent channel addressing for each, each controller can be mapped to just about any MIDI message available, which allows endless possibilities for control. And with the new Instrument mode, a single button press instantly maps the faders, buttons, and encoders to any virtual instrument inside your DirectLink-compatible host.

M-Audio Axiom 49 also features a sleek, angled top panel for easy viewing in any environment, providing all the right information and controls at your fingertips, whether you're on stage or in the studio. The backlit LCD screen provides informative feedback from DAW hosts, including on-screen display of parameters, settings, and track/VI names. The Axiom 49 is extremely compact and lightweight and is powered directly from your computer's USB bus.
