FEATURES- Axiom 61  Advanced 61-key Semi-Weighted USB MIDI Controller
       The Axiom 61 is an advanced 61-key USB mobile MIDI controller with 
        semi-weighted action and assignable aftertouch. Eight rubberized 
        trigger pads are ideal for creating drum tracks and firing samples. 
       Nine sliders and eight endless rotary encoder knobs put you in total 
        control of your software studio. There are also 15 MIDI-assignable 
        buttons--including six transport controls--assignable wheels, foot 
        pedals and more. Programming is a breeze with dedicated front-panel 
        keypad and backlit LCD screen. 20 memory locations store your 
        setups and the free Enigma editor/librarian software lets you 
        manage an unlimited number on your computer.
* Get Into the Action
   The Axiom series of mobile USB MIDI controllers has everything it takes 
   to get the most from your MIDI software and hardware. Semi-weighted 
   action complete with aftertouch gives you great feel and expression for 
   both synth parts and pianistic passages. Eight rubberized trigger pads 
   put your drums at your fingertips for programming with feel--or easy 
   fire samples or visual effects.
* Total MIDI Control
   Assign the eight rotary encoders to mixer controls like panning and 
   effects sends, or to any synth parameters you want to control. Map the 
   nine sliders to software mixer faders or drawbars on your virtual organ. 
   15 buttons, pitch and mod wheels, and sustain and expression pedal jacks 
   round out a tour de force of MIDI domination. Assigning controllers is 
   simple, yet has the power to let you delve as deep as you want. Each 
   controller can map to just about any applicable parameter in the MIDI 
   spec, including independent channel addressing for each. The 
   possibilities are limited only by your imagination. 
* Intuitive Front-Panel Programming
   M-Audio Axiom MIDI controllers all feature a large backlit LCD screen 
   for visual feedback--and the 61-key and 49-key models also place a 
   10-key pad right on the front panel for direct, intuitive programming. 
   You'll also find 9 dedicated front-panel function buttons to easily 
   access common operations like preset/program change or MIDI channel +/-,
   octave +/-, and transpose +/-. Use the Controller Mute button to prevent 
   parameters from jumping when you change them, for example, then press 
   Snapshot to transmit all current settings. 20 non-volatile memory 
   locations instantly save and recall your favorite presets--and you can 
   manage an entire preset library on your computer via SysEx dumps and our 
   free Enigma software editor/librarian for PC and Mac.
* Mobile Operation
   The Axiom series is extremely compact and lightweight and all models are 
   powered directly from your computer s USB bus. Choose the size that's 
   best for your needs, then take your music anywhere you want to go. 
* Ableton Live Lite 5
