Nektar Impact LX61+ Keyboard Controller

Nektar Impact LX61+: Versatile MIDI Keyboard with Integrated DAW Control Center

The Nektar Impact LX61+ is a versatile MIDI Keyboard designed to provide you with complete and comprehensive control over your favourite digital audio workstation (DAW). It delivers everything a producer or musician needs, alongside added extras that are guaranteed to significantly improve your workflow and overall production experience. The Impact LX61+’s ergonomic design is meticulously utilised to place every essential control right on the keyboard itself, effectively minimising the need to constantly switch between software screens and external hardware in order to achieve the desired sound or effect, allowing for a more focused creative process. The 61-note velocity sensitive keybed offers a substantial range, providing enough keys to span well over six octaves, making it suitable for serious performance and composition.

The velocity sensitive keys are instrumental in enhancing the LX61+’s overall fluidity and natural playing feel, making it an ideal choice for musicians making the transition from an acoustic piano to a MIDI keyboard setup. Furthermore, this velocity sensitivity introduces crucial dynamics to your playing, allowing you to easily achieve everything from soft, subtle notes to robust and powerful chords. The 8 LED illuminated pads are also velocity sensitive, making them perfect for dynamically triggering samples such as vocals or drums. This feature provides a versatile alternative method for sound input, whether you choose to utilise the pads like a dedicated drum machine or “paint in” basslines using the organised gridded pad format.
