Nektar Keyboard Controller Impact LX Mini

Impact LX Mini 25-Key Dynamic Keyboard and Pads

The Impact LX Mini from Nektar is a compact master keyboard featuring a 25-key dynamic mini keyboard. Eight dynamic pads with LED backlighting allow for expressive playing and triggering of drums and samples in your DAW. The arpeggiator, a guarantee for melodies and basslines, can be extensively programmed directly on the keyboard without hidden menus and even supports swing. The eight knobs can be assigned to any parameters in the DAW, providing easy access to essential functions. A side connection for a footswitch further enhances the functionality of the Nektar Impact LX Mini.

Thanks to the dedicated transport buttons, quick access to the most important DAW functions is ensured. Supported DAWs include: Bitwig, Cubase, Ableton Live, Cakewalk, FL Studio, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, and Studio One. Since a small keyboard inherently involves some compromises, the Impact LX Mini features a Part 2 function: simply press one of the Part 2 buttons while playing to transpose, play an octave higher, or switch to another MIDI channel. Releasing the Part 2 buttons returns the keyboard to its original settings.

Free Software Package

Included with the Impact LX Mini is a comprehensive downloadable software package that contains a license for the DAW "Bitwig 8-Track" and the "Bitwig Essentials" package, which includes 50 software instruments and effects. For updates and compatibility with Windows and Mac systems as well as DAWs, please refer to the Nektar website.
