The compact M-Audio Axiom 25 mobile controller
combines all the production power and performance you need to get the
most from your music software and MIDI gear. More than just a data entry
controller, the Axiom 25 features piano-style, semi-weighted keys for a
musically satisfying playing experience—yet it's small enough to fit in
a backpack. Large, dynamic trigger pads make it easy to program beats
and trigger one-shot samples—while the encoder knobs and buttons deliver
complete realtime 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. Axiom 25 also features a sleek, angled top panel for easy
viewing in any environment.
DirectLink: Streamlined Session Control
Building on the one of the best-selling MIDI keyboard controllers of all
time, the updated Axiom series features DirectLink, which automatically
maps the onboard controls to common parameters in DAWs like Pro Tools,
Logic, Cubase, Live, and Reason. Take control over your software
studio—directly from the keyboard. Use the fader and encoder 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.
Serious Production Power
When inspiration strikes, you need a keyboard controller that can
translate ideas into killer tracks. That's why Axiom 25 is equipped with
an ultra-expressive semi-weighted keyboard and 8 Trigger Finger pads
for programming beats with incredible feel. Automatically map Axiom 25
to your DAW with DirectLink—or delve deeper by assigning the pads,
encoders, and fader to whatever controls you wish. Each controller can
map to just about any MIDI message available, along with independent
channel addressing for each. The possibilities are as endless as your
imagination.
Axiom Instrument Mode
With the Axiom 25 controller's Instrument mode, a single button
instantly maps the fader, buttons, and encoders to any virtual
instrument inside your DirectLink-compatible host. You get direct access
to synthesis parameters such as filter cutoff, LFO rate, and envelope
settings—without having to manually configure anything. It's almost like
turning Axiom 25 into a dedicated hardware synth.
Intuitive Design
Whether you're on stage or in the studio, your keyboard controller
should fuel your creativity—providing all the right information and
controls at your fingertips. That's why the Axiom 25 was designed with a
sleek, angled top panel for easier viewing of the display and improved
ergonomics. Smooth rotary encoders deliver precise, continuously
variable parameter changes, giving you a hands-on feel for the mix. The
backlit LCD screen provides informative feedback from DAW hosts,
including on-screen display of parameters, settings, and track/VI names.
It all adds up to intuitive control over your MIDI software and
hardware.
Mobile Operation
The Axiom series is extremely compact and lightweight, and powered directly from your computer's USB bus.
