Re: got a new keyboard
I have an M-Audio Axiom 25 too --- it's a very solid unit, and the mapping of the rotary encoders and pads and transport buttons to functions is one of those things that once you do it, it is so awesome to use. Just being able to press "record" on the keyboard and go to town, as opposed the awkward "press record on the PC and slide over to the keyboard" maneuver we are all so familiar with, is wonderful.
It works more elegantly with Reason than it does with FL Studio --- mostly because Reason is a badder-ass program.
