MPK25 vs AXIOM PRO 25.. Which to get?

Post by 6d5321 » Wed Sep 01, 2010 6:19 pm

EDIT: never mind this post.. i should of used the search feature. found this topic as already been discussed here.



Im looking to get a new keyboard midi controller for live8.
I have owned the akai mpk49 in the past... ended up selling it to pay bills.
now i'm looking at the axiom/axiom pro 25 or the mpk25. (i hate novations automap)
i liked the akai mpk49, but i didn't love it.

any thoughts? pros/cons?
i have no experience with maudio products.
thx

AKAI MPK 25, very good built and the inventor of MPC Pad, good keyboard and heavy duty construction. At least a little piece of music history is on this brand ; )

M-Audio I'n my personal opinion isn't one totally reliable company.

I don't really understand this kind of company (I'm sorry but M-Audio sound cards suck)

I'd go for the MPK. The Axioms just feel like toys. Their keys have softer action and are slightly less springy, which may or a may not be a good thing for you.

Had an Axiom49 for about a year, and it worked well enough for my needs, but after upgrading to an MPK49 about a month ago, I'd never go back.

It just feels so much sturdier, and doesn't make me afraid I'm going to snap off a knob any time I touch one.
