I had to give an opinion on the AXIOM 49 after that ... 1 month to just let go (power failure). So I asked in return for the AXIOM 61.
The technical features that motivated my choice: The 8 pads, 9 sliders, 8 Knobs, a MIDI mapping complete (once you understand the philosophy of the keyboard settings, it's going alone). The semi weighted keyboard (I will return later). Only drawback, the power supply that is not delivered (I do not use the USB therefore obliged to get a universal power supply 12 V dc and 300 mA recommended) go 1 point less for that. The price is rather for its honest. Let me tell you right away that I left with a priori on the reliability of the axiom (many of us have had problems with the 49 see forum)
UTILIZATION
- The touch keyboard is it fun?
So there I must admit that I have a little trouble to me. I find it super loud and a little soft for my taste. slap it on a regular basis, there is a feeling of locking key with a "click". In short it is a bit random. To see after the break. I'm afraid ...
- Should your use?
Well I am not a pianist, and I use it mainly for the ground where synthesizers of all kinds so it goes. Good for the pads on the other hand who are very nice
- The general configuration is it simple?
I think it's a question of use. The assignment of the chip is different is very simple. M-Audio provides editing software that is aptly named: "ENIGMA". I tried it and I am pressed for direct assignment by the keyboard.
- The selection of MIDI channels, patches is easy?
No problem there. Some mistakes early career I was directly changed bank (FATAL RECALL!) Matter of habit again
- The manual is clear and sufficient?
PDF manual that I rushed to print and bind. The manual appears to be much complete.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
I use it since October 2006 (I was axiom49 since July 2006
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes the AXIOM49, I also have the UF8 who happens to be super comfortable in my closet ...
- How would you rate the quality / price?
In the middle: It has a solid appearance but I fear the worst for the keyboard part ...
the notched knobs scare me too. and short-throw fader seems to hold water. Everything is a matter of time ...
- With experience, you do again this choice?
This is one of the most comprehensive market yes. After KONTROL49 Korg seems to me a lot too, but a little more expensive.
