CBG Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've decided to go with the Axiom Pro 49 key. It has automatic mapping to virtually every DAW and doubles as a great MIDI control surface. If used properly, it eliminates the need to use a QWERTY keyboard, completely. I've been told the extra money is worth it, because it's so easy to use.Here is a good video of it: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/AxiomPro49.html("you can either hold the button down to close and open the plugin in window...
