 Great Product, Great Value Mar 12, 2010
The M-Audio Axiom is a portable, light weight MIDI controller that connects with any computer via USB. It's function is to control either software instruments in a DAW or soft synths. This is not a traditional keyboard. It does not have internal speakers.
I use the Axiom with my Macbook Pro and Apple's Logic and the integration is seemless. Straight out of the box, the only setup was to plug the controller in via the computer's USB port.
I am a pianist and was looking for a cost-effective and portable solution to recording. The Axiom certainly filled that need. The functionality is great, almost overwhelming at first. But once you get used to the keyboard, it works well.
The reasons I like the keyboard are:
1. Light weight and extremely portable. I like to shuffle around to different places to record and with this controller, it is very easy.
2. Layout. The layout of the controller is pretty standard, but the varying controls are very accessible.
3. The price. There are a number of much more expensive options out there, but this one took the cake for me and it was partly because of price. Most controllers do not provide weighted keys and other options at this price range.
The reason I give it 4 stars as opposed to 5 are because:
1. It has 49 keys. I debated over whether I should buy a full size or a 49 key and wish I had sprung for the full size. The reason as you can imagine is for breadth of tones. While the keyboard has a modulation wheel, having to stop playing to change octaves is a bit of a drag.
2. "Semi-weighted" Keys. The keys are not completely weighted and because I'm a trained pianist, the keys require some adjustment to my playing to bring out the correct dynamics.
Overall, had I the option to select another controller, I would have chosen the Axiom 61-key controller as the keyboard is a well-priced entry controller.
 Awesome Product Feb 10, 2010
Out of the box, it was a bit of a challenge figuring out the ableton lite software. But after a few minutes of reading and learning how to use it, the results were amazing.
The keyboard looks and feels awesome and carries a good amount of weight. The sliders and knobs feel clean and are extremely easy to assign. The lcd is something i'm still working on understanding, and the beat pads respond nicely.
This product is awesome so far. I'll post another review if it breaks within a year of use.

 It works well WHEN it works Dec 28, 2009
I bought my Axiom 49 on November 22 from Amazon... it worked fine up till December 26th... I was able to make a couple demos with it before the screen when blank and it stopped communicating with my laptop. This happened all of a sudden and all indications are (from the M-Audio forum) that this is a manufacture's defect. I am in the process of returning this item to Amazon for an exchange; I hope this process goes smoothly. I will let you all know how it goes!

 Worked great until it broke Aug 10, 2009
Warranty's expired. Oh well. Another $250 pissed down the drain.
Maybe an Akai unit will last longer.

Axiom 49 is the BUSINESS!!! Well Worth the $$$ Jun 15, 2009
I love this keyboard!!! I am a singer who tries to make her own music :-P I get a little cross-eyed when it comes to complicated equipment, but all I had to do was plug and play. I am upgrading from the M-Audio Keystudio, and there is absolutely no comparison. Well worth the money. It's like buying a drum machine and a drumpad all in one. I just opened the box and tested it out 5mins ago so I haven't even explored the full potential of it. BTW I am using Garage band on a MacBook Aluminum 13" and the Macbook Pro......thenewer version of garageband stopped reading the Keystudio keyboard so I had to get a new one, and it worked automatically!!!
