Nektar Impact LX25+ USB MIDI Keyboard Controller with DAW Integration

Product Information

Nektar controllers of course provide all the features you’d expect from a good USB MIDI controller, including MIDI programming features and plug-and-play functionality.

In addition, a typical control layout places amp and filter ADSR envelopes on the faders for instant access regardless of whether the Default or User page is selected. There's a large selection of instrument sounds and effects to choose from with up to 8 project tracks with audio or MIDI. Going beyond the limits of traditional DAW's, Bitwig Studio 8-Track offers an exciting and inspiring take on electronic music production, allowing you to transcend musical boundaries to create fresh and unique sounds.You should now be able to control Logic’s mixer from Mixer Mode, and the instrument on the currently selected track in Instrument Mode. With Nektar DAW Integration, a page button allows you to switch between Default settings and User settings with LEDs clearly indicating which page is active. The alternate Bank up/down function moves control assignments to the next or previous group of 8 channels. In addition, 5 user presets are programmed for GM compatible and "learn-friendly" setups plus they can of course be overwritten with your own settings.

It's as easy as holding down shift while moving the parameters on the instrument you want to control followed by moving the controls on Impact LX25+ you want them assigned to.Its ability to instantly integrate with this range of popular audio software makes your workflow increase tenfold, allowing you to control everything at your fingertips with ease. If you find that the [< Patch] and [Patch >] buttons don’t work when controlling a third-party plug-in, it’s likely because the plug-in uses it’s own patch browser. To help you get the best out of your screen real estate, Impact LX+ also has shortcuts for opening and closing your DAW’s mixer window so you can see what’s going on. The "pad learn" feature also allows you to select a pad then play the note or drum sound you want on the keyboard. What sets our instruments apart is, that all the hard work is done for you already thanks to Nektar DAW integration: Once installed, supported DAWs can be controlled without requiring additional mapping.
