M-Audio Axiom Air Mini 32 Key USB Controller

Full Description

Take Control

The Axiom AIR Mini 32 offers extensive control, yet remains simple to use. Our HyperControl technology instantly maps the control surface to work flawlessly with your recording software, so there are no set-up chores required. Customise your setup right from the keyboard - no editing software required. Save your favourites to the 10 memory locations for instant recall. Add to that dedicated transport and track select buttons for true Best-In-Class capabilities.

A New Approach to Making Music

With Ignite, you can now capture your ideas quickly with professional results. Individual musical ideas are captured as phrases, simply called clips. Multiple clips can be played back together, or even grouped to create more complex phrases and song sections. Ignite provides seamless integration with any current M-Audio keyboard controller. Once connected to your computer, the key parameters will be automatically assigned, or mapped, to the front panel controllers. This tight integration provides an out-of-the-box solution that simply works-with no set-up chores to perform.

Space-saving style

Ideal for the on-the-go or laptop musician, the compact Axiom AIR Mini 32 serves up 8 responsive pads and 32 velocity-sensing mini-keys, opening new paths to expressive performance. Choose a velocity curve to match your playing. Pitch Bend, Modulation, and Sustain buttons add serious performance capabilities. Octave shift keys provide access to the entire MIDI note range.

Sound Your Best

Included with Ignite are over 275 remarkable instrument sounds developed by AIR Music Technology. In addition to a versatile arpeggiator, Smart MIDI technology provides both a Chord Player and a Phrase Player that can introduce new musical parts to enhance your production-even a drum pattern. Email your ideas to the rest of the band. Share your musical ideas and songs with other musicians through SoundCloud-all without ever leaving Ignite. Plus, you can export WAV and MIDI files, and then import them into any DAW recording software-including Pro Tools.
