Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very nice for a 25 keys midi controller!
It's very nice if you're looking for a 25 keys MIDI controller, you even don't need a MIDI cable cuz it does it all by included USB cable, the only thing is that it doesn't come with a printed manual and the setup it is not intuitive at all!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Now if I only knew how to make music!
I love most things about this controller, and in time I'm sure I'll love it even more. The size, weight and feel of the controller are nice, its enjoyable to work with. The system behind it is daunting to someone with no experience with MIDI so the lack of a printed manual works against it; yes there is a PDF manual but when the applications I'm trying to use the controller with takes up the full screen keeping a PDF open for reference is a pain... and I prefer printed manuals. All the movable parts feel solid and encouraging to pound on, which is what I'll do until I learn how to actually make music. The Enigma software seems useful, but confusing, though that may be an issue with understanding MIDI... I don't know, the hardware and software companies don't want to take responsibility for teaching MIDI (they assume you already know). So it seems like something I have to figure out myself before I can really get ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Top notch
This controller is solidly built, and its small size and usb power make it ideal to carry around. I travel all over with it and the only problem I've had is the warped screen that I got from leaving it in direct sunlight inside my car on a hot summer day. The keys are thick, heavy and easy to play. The pads aren't great, but I don't use them much. In Reason 4, FL Studio 8 and Linux it works perfectly. In the unlikely event one of my Axioms breaks, I'll buy another. I've already got 2. :)



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Low-budget awesome controller
This keyboard works fine for me. I'm not a sound engineer, just a home studio hobbyist. I use Pro Tools LE to do most of my recordings. I also program MIDI parts on that software using the pencil (note by note!). So I decided to get a controller keyboard to facilitate the job. The semi weighted keys let you program different velocities when playing creating a more interesting and human effect (especially on cymbals)

Difficult to program? I don't think so. I downloaded the Enigma software from the M-Audio website and the job was automatically done. Programming keys on a Mac is piece of cake, just drag and drop! BFD can also program the keys in auto mode. Don't be fooled for those who are saying is complicated to assign sound to the keys.

Low price, great specs... it's up to you.
