Nektar Impact LX25+

Description

NEKTAR IMPACT LX25+

LX 25+ represents the evolution of the renowned USB Impact LX 25, characterized by an extremely high quality/price ratio, with features far exceeding its price category.

The integration with the most important DAWs has been further developed, and the workflow has been made even more intuitive and fast.

With features such as 8 touch-sensitive, color-coded pads, transport controls, assignable buttons and rotary controls, etc., Impact LX25+ offers much more than you might expect!

The LX25+ keyboard is a 2-octave, medium-tension synth-style, touch-sensitive keyboard.

The keys are full-size and equipped with internal dust protection. With its 4 available velocity curves, it can adapt to any style and personal need.

And there are also 3 fixed velocity curves. The octave shift buttons, as well as the transpose buttons, are within easy reach, just above the pitch bend and modulation wheels.

OCTAVE & TRANSPOSE BUTTONS

They represent much more than what meets the eye.

In fact, it's possible to assign 4 different functions to the buttons, selectable on the fly, so you can make changes even while playing.

A key combination makes assignment quick and easy.

You can send program change messages, change the Global MIDI Channel, or recall any of the 5 available user presets.

PADS

The 8 touch-sensitive pads are optimal for groove management and beat creation.

Each pad can be assigned to any MIDI note number or any MIDI message to be used as a MIDI trigger or switch.

But the best feature is "Pad Learn" which allows you to select a pad and play a note on the keyboard for immediate assignment. No complex menus or convoluted operations. Assignments are not lost when power is removed and can also be recorded up to 4 different mappings for future recall.

The 4-color LED illumination, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, indicates which mapping is loaded and what type of MIDI message is being transmitted by each pad. Thanks to Nektar DAW integration, the pads are automatically mapped for immediate use with many software. For example, in Bitwig, the Clips and Scenes buttons are already ready to be used to trigger Clips and Scenes...

CONTROL CENTER

A 30mm fader and 8 rotary controls form the command bridge of Impact LX+.

Each control is fully programmable to send any MIDI CC message to hardware or software that supports this standard.

Nektar DAW Integration allows immediate use of the keyboard with the most popular DAWs, thanks to comprehensive predefined mappings.

You can also save up to 5 custom mappings that remain stored and can be recalled even in subsequent uses of the keyboard.
