I have had the Axiom 49 for about a year and a half now and I really love this controller. The abundnace of sliders and knobs, as well as the drum pads, are a great touch. They really cram a lot of usable stuff on this controller which is nice. I map things myself so I haven't used the software much that comes with it but I have had no issues using it with Reason, Reaktor, Live or anything else for that matter. I have had some instances where it simply didn't work but turning it off then back on seemed to solve the problem. Great buy for the money.

I got this new, MIDI controller and it's so FLY Got me that M-Audio Axiom 49 Though about the 61 but it was too many KEYS and i figured that 25 was just not enough for ME So i got me me one of THESE WOW, you won't BELIEVE Making beats is such a BLAST As breezy as you can SEE got FADERS that i'm loving MUCH SEMI-WEIGHTED keys with an AFTERTOUCH Got WHEELS & PADS oh BOY What more could i be asking FOR?

Simply all of the basics i could really ask for in a MIDI controller and for the price, It's a deal. I've been using it frequently with FL Studio 8 for about a month now and I Love it, everything works very well, i get that hands on feel on my music now like never before. Only minor flaw i have with this are the snapping nobs but i guess i could live with that. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

It is my first keyboard controller, and my first enter to MIDI world. I'm a drummer, but I'm interest other instruments to me. The semi heavy keys are comfortable, triggers... are not perfect!. Although Axiom 49 is a complex MIDI controller, the user manual is a total nastiness, a crap. Simply, it is not a manual of aid, nor easy to understand, especially for just initiated. The other controls as knobs and faders are a great aid for VST.

It took me a while to figure out how to map it but that was lack of directions on Abletons part not M-Audio. Once I figured out what I was doing it was a breeze. Now I have to figure out what tasks to assign to all these controls. This thing is amazing. This is a producer's dream. All I have to do is be creative and this keyboard takes care of everything else. Thanks M-Audio.

Godd but not great

The actual keyboard has a great feel and is overall sturdy. The buttons, on the other hand, need to be pushed down very hard to trigger. I need use the buttons to trigger and control live and precision is important. I can't do it with this keyboard, I recommend it for studio work not so much live if you rely on buttons to trigger.
