So I finally decided to get myself a MIDI keyboard. July was my birthday and all, and since I couldn’t afford the Evo 5 rightaway, I bought the M-Audio Axiom 61 instead (yes, a keyboard instead of a new mixer).

So this has 61 semi-weighted keys, 8 trigger pads, 8 rotary encoders and 9 sliders. And a bunch of buttons, too. Becoming a producer is the inevitable next step for any ambitious DJ and hopefully I will introduce something unique to my sets in the next couple of years. I took some pictures where you can see the keyboard as well as my other MIDI Controller, Novation Nocturn. These were taken with my cellphone so they aren’t brilliant, but it’s more than enough.

And yes, I like blue.
