This recapitulate talks about the most recent Midi controller from M-Audio in the Axiom series. The main features of the product are that it includes operation keys, which are sensitive to velocity and are semi-weighted. It also has eight trigger pads, eight rotary encoders and nine sliders.
Apart from these, modulation wheels and a pitch bend also feature in the Axiom 61. The product comes with Ableton's Live software that is capable of mapping on to each of the above mentioned controls. The software box also contains Propellerhead's Reason. There are a lot of buttons for adjustments, patching and editing of the sounds.

One prominent point about the Axiom series, which applies to the M-Audio Axiom 61 as well, is that all the Axiom Midi controllers do not have keyboard or piano functions and only act as controllers. They do not generate any sound of their own and are only used to trigger sounds from other sound producing instruments that are capable of working with Midi.
Axiom 61 is legitimately effective when used with Apple's stable Band, as the tool works very comfortably with it. It fully meets expectations, as it has a very flexible and responsive interface that a user can use for sending Midi events.
It also works well with other instruments such as guitar where it can be used to add Bass and drum sounds with it. The product has received good reviews with an acceptable price, impressive set of features and an embedded software set.
However, there have been some issues with the keys, as some users have found the keys to be a bit sticky and also faced issues of some keys becoming non-responsive. The better and more convenient programming agenda is also what users incredible from the product. However, despite some of its subtle limitations, M-Audio Axiom 61 is still a great product for music producers and experimenters.
