help M-Audio Axiom 49 FAQ
What controls are included on the M-Audio Axiom 49?
The 49-key Axiom provides eight assignable trigger pads, eight rotary encoders, nine faders, and transport controls. The precise software-mapping system depends on whether the unit is the original or second-generation model.
Does the Axiom 49 support aftertouch?
Yes, the full-size velocity-sensitive keyboard supports channel aftertouch. That lets compatible instruments respond to pressure applied after a note is initially played.
Can the Axiom 49 control a hardware sound module?
Yes. In addition to USB MIDI, it has traditional MIDI connections for controlling compatible synthesizers and sound modules without relying solely on a DAW.
How can I tell an original Axiom 49 from the second generation?
The two generations have different control layouts and use different software-integration systems, with the later model promoting DirectLink. Check the rear label and compare the front panel with the appropriate M-Audio manual before downloading drivers or creating mappings.
