Nektar Impact GX49 Controller Keyboard
The Impact GX49 and GX61 are dynamic and expressive instruments, tailored to composition & performance with your computer music system. The no-fuss interface is a great entry into the world of Nektar controllers. Featuring a 49-note (4 octave) or 61-note (5 octave) keyboard, pitch-bend wheel, modulation wheel and foot switch socket. Two multi-colored octave buttons enable shifting the keyboard range up or down -3/+4 octaves with the LED colors changing to show the exact status, Impact GX are well equipped to deliver a great workflow. Dedicated transpose buttons allow you to shift the keyboard range up to +/- 12 semi tones. The buttons can quickly be re-purposed to change the Global MIDI Channel or send Program messages. Additionally an assignable potentiometer provides control over any MIDI parameter, by default controls mixer volume. Nektar DAW Integration for many of the most commonly used DAWs makes it easy to get going, and a pleasure to use. With Impact GX49 your controller keyboard is part of your system, giving you the creative freedom to compose, perform and play, without having to reach for your mouse constantly.

The keys are good and the build is solid My last midi keyboard was the Akai MPK49. The keys were great, the build was solid, and it had all the bell and whistles one could want…and it was huge. The footprint was so big it took up too much desk space. I also quickly realized that connected via usb it had latency that wasn’t good enough for real time playing. I got an external midi box (midiman 2×2) and a power supply, and everything was great.It was also $400.When I moved I sold it, and set out to find…
High quality with minimal features. Great little keyboard, very easy to put on and off my lap as I sit in front of the computer at my crowded desk. If has the basic transport controls for forward, stop, record, etc, and also a single volume control pot on CC7, but doesn’t have more advanced rotary encoders, drum pads or sliding potentiometers. No matter, it gets the job done without being too heavy to pick up and move around easily and I prefer to use another midi controller for the more advanced functions. Overall build…
Perfect tool for midi play.
