M-Audio Axiom 25 ll - Advanced 25-Key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller

Truly Plug and Play

Connection is a snap using just one MIDI cable from the Axiom 25 directly into your computer. The USB connection also provides the power (there’s also an optional AC power adaptor available) so you’re free to roam the cabin of life and take your Axiom 25 on the road with your laptop. The M-Audio Axiom 25 ll is class compliant meaning you can plug and play without drivers on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Now We’re Talking:

The M-Audio Axiom 25 ll features DirectLink, which automatically maps the onboard controls to common parameters in DAWs like Pro Tools, Reason, Cubase, Logic and Live. It has never been easier to setup a MIDI controller with the software of your choice than it is with the Axiom 25 ll.

Lift a fader on the Axiom ll and watch as your virtual on-screen fader responds and comes along for the ride; grab an encoder and effortlessly change panning position of a track or tweak a plug-in’s parameters in real-time as you monitor the changes; the walls have disappeared and communication is easy, breezy, and addicting. When the Axiom ll is in instrument mode, one button push automatically maps the fader, buttons, and encoders enabling you to tweak parameters much like a hardware synthesizer. Trying to make all your computer-based studio components play nice together used to be an inevitable, exhaustive chore but that’s a thing of the past with the M-Audio Axiom ll.

It’s all in the design:

The M-Audio Axiom 25 ll features 25 full-size, piano-cut semi-weighted keys. They have assignable aftertouch allowing you to play as expressively as you like. A little extra tension on the keys you hit will trigger further sound manipulation whether it be modulation, increasing an effect, turning on a filter, adding vibrato or any MIDI parameter you can assign. The top panel of the Axiom ll is angled providing you with easy viewing in any environment. The custom blue-lit LCD display is a godsend as it’s larger than most in a controller of this ilk and provides you with a wealth of information making it easy to navigate the Axiom’s controls and get instant feedback for all operations.

The hardware controls include: 8 assignable trigger pads, 8 assignable rotary encoder knobs, 6 edit buttons, 4 zone buttons for stacking and splitting sounds on up to 4 MIDI channels, 1 assignable fader, assignable pitch and modulation wheels, dedicated track/bank/mute/solo buttons, octave up/down and transpose up/down. There’s even handy transport controls for your DAW including play, stop, rewind, fast forward and loop play, all ergonomically centered within easy reach on the top panel. Your lonely computer mouse will turn green with envy as the Axiom’s wealth of controls makes the need for it slim to none.

Rear connections include inputs for expression and sustain pedals, MIDI I/O, USB, and 9V DC alongside the power switch.

The M-Audio Axiom 25 ll is compact, lightweight and should easily fit into your backpack right next to your laptop for music creation on the go…but it feels right at home in your recording studio so run (don’t walk) to a Sam Ash near you or click on the links or pick up the phone and order yours today.
