M-audio makes nice controllers, period. What I really like is all the controls they include in such small packages. Just like this axiom 25 usb midi controller, the M-Audio Axiom 49 offers the same controls with almost double the number of keys.

Advanced control in a portable package.

The M-Audio Axiom 49  is a compact mobile controller with 49 semi-weighted action keys featuring assignable aftertouch. 9 sliders, 8 rotary controls, 15 MIDI-assignable buttons (include 6 transport controls), assignable pitch bend and modulation wheels, and connections for sustain and expression pedals give you massive control of the music. 8 rubberized trigger pads are perfect for creating drum and percussion tracks or triggering samples.

A backlit LCD screen and dedicated keypad make it front-panel programmable. 20 user memory locations are provided for onboard storage, while the included Enigma editor/librarian software lets you manage unlimited setups and all your creative output on your computer.
