Product Description

The Nektar Impact LX series offers a streamlined set of controller keyboards with deep integration with the most popular Digital Audio Workstations. The Compact LX25 is the smallest in the range and is perfect for that producer that only needs a small keyboard to play basslines, padded chords and single line tracks with one hand. Featuring a low profile design, the LX25 utilises a 2 octave keyboard with a range of performance and production controls in a super compact package that you can bring with you for when inspiration strikes.

Now in its 2nd edition, The LX Plus builds upon it's predecessor; offering a streamlined set of controller keyboards with even deeper integration with the most popular Digital Audio Workstations and a faster, more intuitive workflow.

The LX25 features a 25-note Velocity sensitive keyboard, that feels just like playing a classic synth. This is combined with your classic pitch and modulation controls, 8 velocity sensitive pads and 8 rotary encoders, transport controls and a range of other buttons including a set of octave and transpose controls so that you can change key or register at any time; giving you full tactile control of your performance, whether in the studio or out on stage. These responsive controls are combined with Nektar's well known integration to your favourite DAW so that the controller knows what you are doing at all times.

Plus New Features

The key change in the new LX+ series are the drum pads that have been re-designed to be much more sensitive; so that you can programme your beats with even more depth than before. Nektar are so proud of their new pads that they say they stack up well to even the most advanced, dedicated pad controllers out there.

The other major upgrades in this new series focus on making it even easier to navigate your session using the controller keyboard. This includes new quick select buttons, clear LED back lights for pads and various buttons, and support for even more DAWs like Cakewalk Sonar and MOTU Digital Performer. This means you can select your sounds and parameters quicker than ever before; making changes on the fly with complete confidence in your mix.
