M-Audio Axiom AIR 25 25-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with Ableton Live Lite and Ignite by AIR

Sweet little keyboard I love this thing I use it with fl studios 11 its sweet good buy ;)

Very cool and mod looking. More functional than I expected. I didnt really think I needed the extra programmable pads but they are going to come in handy! Using with Logic Pro X as an adjunt to Yamaha P-105

The pads aren't very sensitive, keys aren't very sensitive either. The start/stop buttons don't work in FL Studio without annoying workarounds. Dials can be programmed in FL Studio, but aren't precise. Volume dial jumps from 0 to max volume rather than smoothly sliding. I should have done more research before buying a keyboard that isn't designed for FL Studio. Aside from those compatibility complaints, it's very nicely constructed and works for basic keyboard and pad recording.

I like the simplicity of USB connection to the laptop and it works fine with Ignite; I only use Ignite (instead of Ableton) to run it. Pretty cool piece of DAW..!

i bought this thinking it would work great with Logic but little did i know, it's not all about looks. i want to sell it to a more professional user and see if i can get an mpk.

I think the product is amazing. I really like the feel of it,I took 1 star out because I think the support and tech info available for configurations is bad (at least what is available on the web).I work with FL studio and there's no hypercontrol support on it (as far as I know), so you have to configure the knobs, fader, etc manually. The problem is that the knobs by default send Midi info in a non linear way, which basically make them unusable in most cases (within FL Studio). There are ways for setting things up in the controller so the knobs work in different modes (usable ones), BUT I couldn't find a good guide for doing that neither in the manual nor the web.I definitely recomend the controller, I think it lacks on set up info.

Great controller. Use it to trigger soft-synths in pro tools. Wish the pads were more responsive, but overall a really nice product. The Axoim line def has the nicest feeling keys in the controller game.

So far this MIDI absolutely amazing..work good with my DAW Logic Pro X…but its very powerful with Ignite as well…fully loaded with thousands of samplers...this is my 3rd hardware from M-Audio

Despite some other customers seeming to have trouble mine arrived today, I plugged the USB cable into my iMac and fired up Garageband. Worked instantly! Didn't need to map anything and the keys and pads worked fine I haven't tried any of the knobs yet but the slider definitely works as do pitch bend and modulation wheels.The build quality appears excellent and all dials feel smooth and buttons click decicively so you know you've pressed them properly. I am a little biased when it comes to M-Audio as I already have other products from them and have always been pleased with the quality.The software included is Ableton Live Lite version 8, not 9. This needn't be a negative point as it still works, is a perfectly good app for making music and apart from that it comes with a download copy of Ignite which is bang up to date.The features seem very comprehensive and the key action feel good. As I said above today is day one and I do still need to settle down to work through the manual properly but thus far I am really pleased with my choice... Oh, and it's beautiful to look at too :-)

Windows driver installed - check, Axiom plugged-in and turned-on - check, firmware updated - check, Ignite software downloaded and installed - check. And bingo - everything up and running and talking straight-away. This is a fairly sizable 25 key midi keyboard, but it does feel great. I'm very much an amateur, but I'm very impressed so far. Incredible value for money.

I have had no problems with using this at all, and consider it a real bargain, especially as the free software means you have everything you need to create music and export files. One thing I feel I should mention - I notice that if I connect the keyboard to a standard USB port on my computer then I experience problems similar to those described in the not-so-good reviews, where a time delay makes 'real time' recording impossible. However if I connect to 'SS' (superspeed) USB ports then I experience no problem. The keyboard is also powered directly via the USB cable - although a power adaptor is optional (needs to be purchased separately), so I wonder if using a power adapter might help with some of the other reported problems.

Compact size and very easy to use, keys seem to have a very slight delay with some software but don’t think that’s the keyboards fault.

So COOL there is not a lot more I can say :)
