Axiom 61 Key V2 Advanced USB Midi Keyboard Controller

M-Audio Axiom 61 2nd Generation is part of the new Axiom USB MIDI keyboard controller series. New features and highlights include an enhanced semi-weighted keyboard action, an updated, ergonomic design that provides greater visibility and access to performance controls, and DirectLink technology, which automatically maps the keyboard’s controls to mixer and virtual instrument parameters in popular digital audio workstations.

The M-Audio Axiom 61 V2 keyboard controller combines all the production power and performance you need to get the most from your music software and MIDI gear. More than just data entry controllers, the Axiom series features piano-style, semi-weighted keys for a musically satisfying playing experience. Large dynamic trigger pads make it easy to program beats and trigger oneshot samples while the encoder knobs, faders, and buttons deliver complete real-time control over your software. DirectLink mode provides easy, automatic access to common DAW functions including transport, mixer, track pan, and virtual instrument parameters no complicated setup required. Take control over your software studio directly from the keyboard. Use the sliders and knobs to fine-tune the mix. Easily navigate through sessions using the Transport buttons. Interfacing a MIDI controller with your software doesn’t get any easier than this.
