The M-Audio Axiom 61 is an advanced MIDI controller with 61 keys as the name states. It definitely has more features than you average MIDI controller. In terms of connections, it has MIDI input and outputs as well as 1/4" connections for expression and sustain pedals as well as a USB port and a jack for a 12 volt power supply. The controller itself has all sorts of controllers, including 8 trigger pads, a transport section, eight assignable parameter knobs, pitch and modulation wheels, a numerical pad, sliders, and an LED screen to keep track of it all. As you can see the Axiom 61 has a lot to offer for the user who wants a very versatile MIDI controller.

UTILIZATION

Using the M-Audio Axiom 61 didn't prove to be too hard for me, as everything is pretty easy to follow. There is a whole lot that you can do with the controller, so I must admit I haven't yet explored all the features with the Axiom 61 as I haven't had an immediate use for it all. Either way, I think that most people will be able to navigate their way around the controller rather easily. I didn't have the manual, but it would probably be a good thing to have around if you're new to MIDI controllers with this sort of make up.

OVERALL OPINION

If you are seeking a MIDI controller that has a bit more than the basics and a lot of versatility with still maintaining a reasonable price, the M-Audio Axiom 61 is the controller that I would recommend for sure. I'm honestly surprised that this is priced the way it is, as it really isn't that much more expensive than the M-Audio Keystation MIDI controllers. I love having the triggers on here, as it makes it easy to get down a beat. I've never been a big fan of doing on the keyboard, so having the triggers is alone enough of a reason to spend the extra dough in my opinion. The M-Audio Axiom 61 is the perfect mid level MIDI controller for both home and professional studio owners...
