"pretty sweet for a 1st midi controller"
Feature:
the click knobs are ok but id like a smoother feel instead. the pads are a little unforgiving but actually better for expressing sounds and drums especially. the keys are semi-weighted but they feel kind of stiff and even a little stuck sometimes; was kinda dissapointed by that actually.
Quality:
well, its plastic and bulky, blue display lights up nicely, the keys are just what kind of bummed me out.
Value:
the price on here is good, especially since this the only midi controller at this size w/ pads and quite a few features.
Desirability:
its sexier looking in the picture but hey, its supposed to sit in your studio. the blue led adds a little something.
Sound:
well sound quality really depends on your computer of course, this just gets the job done.
Overall:
i'll probably stick w/ this for a while since its got a bit of everything. i found it a bit stiff when playing but its just a controller, not a grand piano. i think for the price and everything, its great for beginners. i picked this over the ozone because of the pads.

"i like it."
Feature:
well, i actually wanted to get a keyboard and padset, coz wasnt sure, wheter these pads are usefull. actually not too much so far. it's still more productive to write drums graphically. continious knobs are with clicks, rather too hard to forget, and this sucks (i tried it before, no surprise here) and they never work in app without tuning first. display is beauty, but i would prefer 7 leds for octave shift. not used aftertouch so far.
Quality:
well, this is my first midi control ever, and it looks good, feels good, works as expected. i actually tried other keyboard kontrollers in range 100-400 and apart from novation x-something (kbd + analog synth, really kewl unit), so apart - the axiom is my choice. may be black keys are overdamped a little, but i dont care.
Value:
i think value is ok. i payd aboud $240 its ok for europe. may be instead of ableton le i would prefer any ineresting vsti or drum smaple lib or discount offer. i dont mean ableton is not worth a penny, it's just wrong idea imho to switch host sequensor with new controller.
Desirability:
the unit looks ok, its lacks dimonds aroud screen, however. what i like most is a blue light behind finctional buttons when activated. the buttons are useless, but the light isnt.
Sound:
no problem, everything sounds
Ease of Use:
ease of use is ok, but, all the advanced setting are so complicated to even understand that i'll beter be writing music with base functionality, than read manaual for hours and trying to get this it do smthg extra. The enigma software is a peace of code made in late 80's apparently, and hardly helps to simplify anything. jeez.
Support:
do not trust in support, only in money back. never used for axiom.
Overall:
i like it.
