Based on 10 Reviews

Great ultra portable MIDI keyboard and controller.
Great product for the price, does everything you could want it to do.
Great for begginers
Bought this for pretty cheap and its perfect for beginners. I did run into a problem where the "change octave" buttons would change colour or change the octave, but after a while, they started working again. I do not know why this happened or how but my keyboard could have been faulty.

The reason I switched to Ableton
paid about $130 for it off amazon and it came with Ableton lite which is pretty awesome

Must have 1st MIDI keyboard, works with all devides

Nice, cheap durable keyboard. A good quality instrument for any beginner or professional.
I use this to compose melodies and also use it to check if my sound design quality is sounding up to standard. However, you need to install MIDIOX to get it to work with your D.A.W if it is not compatible.

A versatile, compact keyboard and pad controller with special music creation software.

Awesome!
I Strictly recommend this for beginners and amateur producers. This is awesome!

First off you may say you "need" full sized keys.....
But lets be real, most of the times all you are doing is banging away on plugins and looking for decent tones, you do not need to haul a full sized keyboard around in your "every day carry" backpack rig. This thing works perfectly with ableton/reason/logic and even dig the response out of the drum pads. The record/play/stop buttons have been mashed a BAZZILION times and they still work flawlessly.

The thing I hate about studio hardware is this its bolted down or to big to carry with you so I try to combine both worlds a home studio set up with a mobile set up on the go the axiom fits straight into a bag and within minutes you can get it set up with your daw and start jamming away on chords
