Save settings to 50 memory locations, each with 4 profiles of quick recall via the intuitive graphic LCD. Now you can control your entire session right from your Axiom Pro 61.

Enhanced DAW Integration with HyperControl Technology
Thanks to revolutionary M-Audio HyperControl technology, your Axiom Pro 61 controller will automatically map to commonly used parameters of popular software instruments and digital audio workstations including Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic and Reason systems. HyperControl updates the virtual instrument or track parameter mappings of each control in real time as you sequence, it doesn’t get any easier.

The HyperControl Difference
While other controllers offer mapping, only the M-Audio Axiom Pro line has HyperControl technology. HyperControl synchronizes Axiom Pro with your DAW, ensuring that your hardware and software collaborate to form a single work environment. The technology utilizes the Axiom Pro 61 graphic LCD to group software controls together in a modular fashion. Similar controls are organized in named groups and accessed via 4 dedicated softkeys, which are continually updated to reflect the mapped parameters. A dedicated button toggles between Mixer and Instrument modes for instant hands-on control of all of your software’s functionality. Dedicated Track buttons allow sequential navigation of your mixer and instantaneous mapping of software instruments within the selected track. You can even control software instruments without opening them.

DAW Transport and Track Navigation
The 6 dedicated transport buttons on the Axiom Pro 61 controller give you immediate hands-on access to all of your host DAW’s playback and recording controls. Unlike other all-or-nothing systems, Axiom Pro 61 also features a transport-only mode. This option lets you access DAW transports and track navigation via HyperControl technology, while creating and controlling your own custom MIDI assignments for the trigger pads, buttons and encoders.

Expressive Playability
With great feel in a lightweight chassis, the Axiom Pro 61 controller provides a new level of creative inspiration. The M-Audio TruTouch keybed combines professional semi-weighted action with advanced high-speed keybed scanning technology for an ultra-expressive playing experience. Assignable aftertouch adds an extra measure of expression and control.

The Ultimate Pro Tools Keyboard Controller
Whether you are working on a Pro Tools M-Powered, Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools HD system, the Axiom Pro MIDI controllers set a new standard for Pro Tools keyboard control. Advanced M-Audio HyperControl technology puts instant access to all of your Pro Tools parameters at your fingertips, including mixing, individual track functionality, and unparalleled control of virtual instruments such as Xpand!, Strike and Hybrid.

Different Strokes
The Axiom Pro keyboard controller line is the first to combine MIDI control with ASCII keystrokes. You can assign any button on Axiom Pro 61 to send ASCII messages accessing any of the available QWERTY keyboard shortcuts within your host DAW. Imagine the possibilities with Copy, Paste, Duplicate, New Track, anything you want to assign.

Complete MIDI Control
Axiom Pro 61 has an amazing 65 MIDI-assignable controls, putting complete session control in one place. The 8 velocity-sensitive trigger pads integrate acclaimed M-Audio Trigger Finger technology for laying down rhythm tracks or triggering loops and samples. Smoothly control parameters like filters, EQ and panning with the 8 rotary encoder knobs. The 9 40mm sliders (each with its own fully assignable button) feature auto-mute to prevent jumping, ideal for controlling mixes, virtual organ drawbars, and more. The keyboard’s extensive controllers also include 12 fully assignable buttons in the keypad arrangement, a data/octave button, pitch bend and mod wheels, aftertouch, and dual assignable pedal jacks. In addition to USB connectivity, you’ll also find traditional MIDI In and MIDI Out ports for connecting external MIDI devices.

Total Recall
The Axiom Pro 61 keyboard has 50 memory locations, each with 4 quick-access profiles of controller assignments, allowing you to easily create and manage your own extensive library of presets with unprecedented power, ease and flexibility.

Subject:AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY SERIOUS PRO TOOLS USER!
Quality: This is an extremely well thought out and well made controller - the HyperControl technology really lets you go very deep into Pro Tools (and I would imagine any other music software as well) even before any customization to its parameters (if you are inclined to tweak it) - seriously, right out of the box it's functionality is just SICK. I haven't even begun to start doing any sort of customization and I have access to the deepest levels of edit over my session that i never could have imagines without some extensive configuring and it's done for you automatically with this thing! Bravo, M-Audio....
Features: The Hypercontrol software. So easy, even a caveman could do it. Wait, that line's been spoken for.. Again, Hypercontrol rules - 'nuff said!
Ease of Use: TOO simple. Hypercontrol really is a gift from the MIDI gods. 'Nuff said!
Sound: It's a MIDI Controller - no native sound library, but you can sure trigger whatever you want inside your DAW easy enough!
Action: The unit has an extremely playable keyboard, best feeling of any MIDI controller I've experienced so far. The controller buttons, rotary encoders and sliders are laid out in a simple, intuitive and effective manner that totally makes navigating your session in Pro tools a breeze.
Value: I purchased a NFS model and aside from the box being opened, the item was brand new, all stickers in place, no marks - just a brand new unit at a discount. Couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend NFS items from AMS if they are available - I also purchased a NFS set of Yamaha studio monitors which were, of course, in perfect condition and my main studio monitors since. Gotta love AMS for this!
