Nektar LX88+ 88-Key USB MIDI Controller with Beat Pads

The full power of the Impact LX+ series is realized in the LX88+, now with MIDI in/out to equip you for any production application. Based on the award-winning Panorama and LX49+/LX61+ before it, the Nektar Impact LX88+ USB MIDI controller uses intelligent mapping to give you hands-on control of your DAW session. Switch between Mixer, Instrument, and Preset modes for a fast workflow. The labeled faders and encoders show default instrument parameter assignments, helping you keep your eyes off your computer screen. The Impact LX88+'s 88 semi-weighted keys give you a smooth, precise feel, as do its pitch and mod wheels. In fact, all controls on the LX88+ - including the knobs, 30mm faders, and performance pads - feel great.

The keyboard controller done right

The Impact LX88+'s 88-note velocity-sensitive keyboard sports smooth semi-weighted action. This makes it perfect for playing just about any type of part. To suit your playing style, you get four velocity curves that gradually increase in dynamics. For certain types of synth parts requiring consistent output, there are three fixed velocities. Pitch bend and modulation wheels are properly placed to your left, with the octave and transpose buttons above them.

Ample control capabilities

Nektar hit it big with their Panorama range. Now they've done it again - at a more affordable price. The streamlined Impact series of controllers offers intelligent mapping and tight integration with most popular DAWs, preset mixer and plug-in modes, transport and navigation controls, MIDI programming capabilities, and five user presets.
