This M-Audio Axiom 49 controller combines all the production power and performance you need to get the most from your music software and MIDI gear. More than just a “data entry” controller, the Axiom 49 features piano-style, semi-weighted keys for a musically satisfying playing experience. Large dynamic trigger pads make it easy to program beats and trigger one-shot samples—while the encoder knobs, faders, and buttons deliver complete real-time control over your software. DirectLink mode provides easy, automatic access to common digital audio workstation (DAW) functions* including transport, mixer, track pan, and virtual instrument parameters—no complicated setup required. Axiom 49 even features a sleek, angled top panel for easy viewing in any environment.

Please note: MIDI controllers only. This midi controller does not generate sounds but is designed to interface with audio production software such as Logic Pro, Cubase etc. The software is not supplied with the keyboard but can be added to the package at additional cost.

This very lightweight tent is ideal for hiking holidays. As it's lightweight, it can be carried with ease through any hiking holiday. It's very simple to put up and take down.

The Vango Icarus 600 is a 6 man tent. With the combination of space, flexibility and simplicity it is popular with anyone looking for a weekend tent for family camping or festival visits. 

Pitching is a breeze - the Powerflex fibreglass poles slide through the heavy duty pole sleeves and are easily secured with a ring and pin system, allowing you to erect and collapse the tent 'as-one' and keep the inner tent dry. In windy conditions the Vango Tension Band System makes the Icarus more sturdy and stable against gusts or knocks.

The outer is waterproof Protex 4000 polyester with taped seams to prevent leaks, and the fully sewn-in groundsheet is a simple solution for keeping out draughts and creepy crawlies. 

The enormous front porch is great for storing gear, furniture, bikes etc, and the new larger windows give great all-round visibility and let in lots of light. 

The side mesh door on the Vango Icarus 600 allows for insect-free ventilation, and the parallel-zip front door can be extended out as a canopy using awning poles (not included).

Front and rear venting and a breathable inner keep you comfortable inside, and 'comfort colours' (darker over the bedroom) mean there's no rush to get out of the tent on those bright mornings.

It comes with an oversized handled carry-bag that makes packing away simple.

This DJ controller from Native Instruments is designed to integrate with NI Traktor DJ software. It's very tough and flexible controller and with full deck control, incl filters and effects. It's in perfect condition and comes supplied with cables and case.

I've used this controller for live performance and photoshoots and it's a lot of fun.

IMPORTANT: This controller is advertised everywhere as wireless but I've used it live quite a bit and the wireless mode has given me some occasional frozen notes (not ideal if you're rocking out in front of an audience!). I have two of these and they both do it - it's just what the Vortex does in general apparently - so feel free to use it wireless if you want, but you have been warned!

In addition, an arpeggiator, with adjustable resolution, range, and patterns, enables users to explore complex melodic ideas, effortlessly.

MPC Essentials, a groove/beat production and sample-triggering software, can integrate directly into any DAW, such as Ableton Live Lite, or run standalone. In addition, it extends the power of MPK261 by adding up to 8 pad banks and 4 samples and insert effects per pad.
