Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
weight

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.

Controls & Buttons

Has octave buttons
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or down in one octave increments. This extends the range of the keyboard in either direction, which lets you play notes that lie outside the number of keys available.
Has tap tempo control
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
A feature on some MIDI devices that allows to adjust tempo in real time based on an external input or by “tapping” a button on the device itself. It is used to allow musicians the flexibility of playing at any desired tempo based on their musical input.
Has transpose buttons
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Transpose buttons are used for moving a collection of notes (pitches or pitch classes) up or down in pitch by a constant interval, usually in semitone increments.
Has an arpeggiator function
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The arpeggiator is the main tool used by computer musicians to generate looped material. An arpeggiator is simply a generator of signals that controls the tempo, pitch, velocity, gate, and other parameters of the sound.
Has a bank selector button
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The button is used to select independent banks of continuous controllers. Effectively, this allows you to control more independent parameters with the knobs, faders and buttons. The bank selector button is used to switch among the available banks.
The more buttons the device has, the more complex the input can be.
Has navigation buttons
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Navigation buttons allows users to navigate through their files/data.
Has a transport control section
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The transport controls are used to control playback, set the position of the playhead, start recording, activate the cycle region, or to move to the project start or end.
Faders can be either channel volume faders, pitch sliders, crossfaders or even EQs.

Keys & Pads

Has velocity sensitive keys
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Velocity sensitive keys are just spring loaded keys that sound out louder the harder you hit them. If you "lightly" press a key, the sound will be quiet; the harder you press, the louder it gets.
Has semi-weighted keys
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Similar to a weighted action keys, but with less resistance and a slightly springier release, semi-weighted keys are popular with many players. If you don’t need realistic piano response, but also don’t care for spring-loaded synth actions, a semi-weighted keyboard might be ideal for you.
The amount of keys the controller has on the keyboard.
Has weighted keys
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Fully weighted keys are designed to replicate the response and feel of acoustic piano keys. If you compose a lot of piano-oriented music, the realism of a weighted, hammer-action keyboard might be ideal for you.
The pads section is ideal to trigger loops and samples, using your finger drum skills.
Has pressure sensitive pads
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
When pads respond to the amount of force applied after initial impact they are pressure-sensitive. The pads can be used to drum rhythmic elements of a song or to trigger samples, but can also be used to play notes.
has velocity-sensitive pads
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Velocity-sensitive drum pads allow you to modify the sound sample's pitch depending on how quickly you hit the pads. They provide a more natural audio experience, as the pitch depends on your movement, just like when playing the drums live.
has an integrated touchpad
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
With a touchpad, users can control the device by moving their finger on a touch-sensitive surface.
Has an aftertouch keyboard
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Aftertouch keyboards are sensitive to the pressure applied to keys after the initial impact, and while the keys are being held down or sustained.

Ports

Has a MIDI-Out port
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The MIDI-Out port is used for transmitting data.
When pressed, the sustain pedal allows all notes to sound and “vibrate” freely. All notes played will continue to sound until the pedal is released. This is perfect when you need a sturdy and responsive control over sustain.
Dedicated expression pedals let you have a hands-free control over your keyboard's volume, vibrato, and more.
Has MIDI thru port
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
The "thru" port, emits a copy of everything received at the input port, allowing data to be forwarded to another instrument in a “daisy chain” arrangement. This allows the user to have more than two MIDI devices connected as a studio.
Has a MIDI-In port
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
MIDI-In Port allows data to be received by a MIDI-compliant device. The “in” port enables the MIDI keyboard to be controlled by an external device or sequencer.
has midi input/output port
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Controllers generally talk to your Mac or PC using MIDI over a USB connection, but sometimes it is possible to connect other devices to your controller. This allows you to control and sync various parameters using a traditional five pin DIN cable connection.

Features

The device is mappable
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
Users can map, set and regulate the entire midi controller giving different functionalities to all different buttons, knobs and faders. The device could be also set up with different softwares.
Devices can communicate in both directions with each other without any additional MIDI interface. The biggest advantage is that the USB connection can be used for everything; power supply, MIDI-in and MIDI-out. This means you need less cables.
Has automapping technology
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
With automapping technology it is easier to set up your MIDI device and assign all different controls to your software (DAW).
More memory locations allow users to save their preset/setup and have them ready to use again and again.
Is compatible with Windows
M-Audio Axiom Pro 49

M-Audio Axiom Pro 49
