I am thinking of buying this keyboard as M=Audio says it compatible with GB. However, some research shows that people are having problems making the drum keypads work as well as the rotary controllers. Is anyone familiar with this midi controller or can you recommend a product that will work well.
The Axiom series is
not fully compatible with GB. The rotaries and transport buttons on the 25 as well as the sliders on the 49 & 61 will not work as GB has no customizable MIDI mapping options. The pads do work although I have never bothered to use mine and therefore look into programming the axioms pads with note numbers.
If you are wanting control over the sliders and rotaries with a keyboard all built in then its the M-Audio Oxygen series you want to look into.
I personally like my Axiom for most things. IMHO I think it is important to look beyond GarageBand when buying a MIDI controller as sooner or later you will more than likely look into other DAWs that are a bit more sophisticated and buying twice always hurts.
All the best.
