The Axiom 25 packs lots of features in a compact package. This advanced 25-key USB mobile MIDI controller features both semi-weighted action and assignable aftertouch, plus eight rubberized trigger pads that put drum programming and performance at your fingertips. Eight endless rotary encoder knobs let you get your hands on synth parameters, virtual mixer controls and more. Six transport controls can also assign to control other MIDI parameters. Virtually everything is freely MIDI-assignable—and the backlit LCD screen makes programming easy and intutive. You get 20 memory locations for on-board storage, and the MIDI interface includes standard MIDI in and out jacks. Comes with free Enigma editor/librarian software to manage an unlimited number of setups via computer and Ableton Live Lite 4.
