    M-Audio Axiom Pro 49Published on 03/23/13 at 05:42
    Some of the features that motivated my choice were the 49 semi weighted keys with a very powerful touch and sensitivity response , the Hyper Control technology that is a time saver.

    There are two type of controls , both midi and pedal based.


    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration and setup is quite simple , thanks to the technology that comes with this product , you get an instant connection with your working DAW trough the Hyper Control feature.

    The manual is greatly designed , very easy to follow and visually well placed.

    The patch selection is quite amateur friendly , you get a blue screen where you can choose your presets and even forget about working with your mous…

    The patch selection is quite amateur friendly , you get a blue screen where you can choose your presets and even forget about working with your mouse.

    OVERALL OPINION

    What I like most about it , are the 49 semi weighted keys , the hyper control technology , the knobs , the 64 midi controls , that useful blue screen where you can control everything that's happening in your DAW.

    What I also like about this product , is how close M-audio got to emulate a real acoustic piano to a midi controller , the keys feel very good , the touch and velocity response is on a completely new level.

    My opinion about the value for the price is great , this product costs around 500 $ on amazon , but having these features on your demand , it will make a huge difference in your songs.

    Precision and quality of the sound is perfect , the response from the midi controller is very precise , you can create crazy syncopations and your controller will respond properly to it.

    I've tried several models , from different companies , getting this level of control with only 500 $ is great , AKAI also has some decent midi controllers , but m-audio axiom pro 49 is the leader here.

    Knowing what I know , I would buy this controller again.

    What features motivated my choice are those semi weighted keys , a great velocity sensitive feature , I also did like how you can totally forget about your mouse and your daw , so that way you can control the features and options trough that little blue lcd screen.

    The drum pad was also quite good and sensitive which worked as an mpc.

    This product has a midi type of connection.

    UTILIZATION

    General configuration and setup is straight forward , pretty amateur and easy to follow along.

    The manual provided with the program was quite good, well detailed , all the information that was relevant to the way this product works and how you can get a pretty easy understanding.

    The channel and patch selection was quite simple and fast , which I really like about M-audio products.

    The general configuration and setup didn't take a long time , this product has a direct link mode which saves a lot of time from setting up every mixer , pad , effect to your daw.

    OVERALL OPINION

    What I like most about are the keys , they feel really good , almost as real as an acoustic piano , they have a great time response , a great velocity response.

    I also must say that the drum pad feels very good , its material is soft and pleasant , the mod wheel is made from a nice material as well.

    I like that blue screened lcd , so that way the musical process goes much faster and way more fun that it usually is.

    I haven't had and found any errors , so I would rate precision and quality of the sound with 10/10.

    The price of the product is about 350$ , so this isn't a very cheap midi controller , however the design and features are awesome.

    Knowing what I know , without a doubt I would get this product again.

    Characteristics that motivated my choice was the HyperControl Technology, 49-Note that are hypersensitive, semi-weighted piano style, 64 MIDI assignable controls total and the great design provided by M-audio Axiom Pro 49.
    M-audio Axiom Pro 49 has a Midi type of connection, also 2 sustained pedals.


    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration of the program it's very simple, it has a well detailed manual that clears some things out,I like the LCD and its cool features , the pads, knobs, sliders, pitch control, and many cool features.
    The manual is quite clear and advanced at the same time, so if you've never worked with an Midi Controller you should check also some tutorials regarding…

    The manual is quite clear and advanced at the same time, so if you've never worked with an Midi Controller you should check also some tutorials regarding the HyperControl function and the real time playing provided by the product.


    OVERALL OPINION

    What I really like about it is the design, that white looks damn good, I do enjoy the HyperControl Technology, and I gotta admit that those keys feel and look Pro, and they are expressive and well manufactured.
    Another advantage that has M-audio Axiom Pro 49 is the enhanced DAW Integration with HyperControl Technology that makes possible to just plug-in-play feature available.

    I can't say it's the cheapest Midi Controller on the market, it costs around 400$ on Amazon, having said that,it's probably one of greatest, world-wide used by many and many producers and musicians.
    Mike Shinoda uses it in his productions as well as many others.

    The precision and quality of sounds is on a very high level, you can barely see the difference between a real piano and this well made midi controller, the timing, sync, is purely perfect with the DAW that you're using it.

    I really do recommend to buy this product if you're serious about music production and want something that feels great, would work as a piano and as a controller, M-audio made that possible and also provided the unique feature of controlling the whole DAW action from the LCD.

    not used in midi simple, on the other hand
    particular configuration, given in the user manual (two for each software manipulations)

    therefore, fully pre-programmed functions for these two programs, which does not reassign if necessary such as button function (midi learn)

    option, accessory, to send ASCII messages to the computer to avoid using the QWERTY keyboard (that's not necessarily very successful)

    Manual quite successful

    keyboard and touch pad nice and fairly realistic

    all solid

    Use frankly baffling, one can almost drop mouse ...
    HyperControl makes a big difference compared to the standard set axiom

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had a little over a year and I do not see how without it for computer music.
    Even though I have a nocturn, I doubt that the keyboards on automap (especially the next impulse) are also integrated to the software.
    The features that appear on the LED screen completely eliminate the need of the computer screen when the virtual instrument issued or the session Reason launched (you can easily navigate from one track to another, but to create them without screens, impossible).
    Compared to a simple axiom, the contribution of HyperControl is undeniable.

    Rugged: no buttons and no button "dead" since (and bought used), unlike my PADKONTROL four pads are switched several seconds ...
