Description

The IMPACT LX25+ MIDI controller is compact and portable yet jam-packed with intelligent and expressive performance control. Ever wanted a controller that hooks up automatically to your DAW? IMPACT LX25+ does exactly that. Nektar DAW integration custom designed for Bigwig, Cubase, digital performer, fl studio, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, reason, sonar and studio One takes IMPACT LX25+ way beyond functionality normally offered by a USB MIDI controller keyboard. With IMPACT LX25+ The hard work is done, so you can focus on your creativity. For groove and beat creation, IMPACT LX25+'s 8 velocity sensitive pads. Calibrated to trigger at a light touch, finger drumming is suddenly well within reach with a nice and even velocity response. The best part is the "pad learn“ feature, which allows you to just select a pad, play the note or drum sound you want on the keyboard and assignment is done.

Great little keyboard, but with full-sized keys. I have two other controller keyboards. Both M-Audio, one is 49 keys, one is 61 keys. They're good, but this is great. Actually also might make one a better keyboard player, by forcing you to concentrate on just two octaves, rather than noodling around the length of a longer keyboard. With just two octaves, you can "see" patterns and chords easier. Though you can go up and down to full 88 keys with buttons. But two octaves at once is a good teaching exercise. And since it's smaller, it leaves room for a cat on my keyboard stand. And there's pretty much always a cat there now. (Stand is a board on a towel on a keyboard stand). PROS: --Solid build. Keys are good. Pads have an amazing feel. --Can control your DAW - almost makes a soft synth into a hardware synth. --You can sit across the room and play it, without being a slave to sitting at a computer. Once auto-mapped, you can change pre-set patches on a softsynth. And on some, you can control some of the parameters. Plus, play keys and drum pads. (M-audio is the other keyboard that can do that, but not nearly as easily and elegantly as this one does.) --Easy to map your DAW (download software from manufacturer's site after registering) --Pretty lights that change color on the pad when you play them! Looks trippy in the dark. CONS: --Keys are kinda stiff. Some people might hate it. Probably not good if you have hand pain issues. On the other hand, playing it may actually strengthen your hands. --Keys are physically kinda loud when you press them. Make a dull thud sound. EDIT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF PLAYING IT A LOT: The keyboard dull thud got much less after a little while. And I think the keys are still stiff, but my hands actually got stronger playing it (!), so it's not an issue now. I dig the feel. Someone else here said it takes two buttons to remotely change synth patches but that's not true on Cubase. Just takes one at a time, going up or down the list in your DAW from this keyboard. All in all I'm very happy with it. It's a heck of a lot of controller for 100 bucks. ... show more

    • Pretty neat! Keys feel good to me as a ...
Considering its price, I can't help but give this little board 5 stars. I'm no pianist, but having a MIDI controller on my desktop in my home studio is really handy to drive drums, synths, samplers, etc. It even has transport controls on it, which would be even cooler if I didn't already have a FaderPort for that set of functions. It immediately made friends with Reaper (after a download/install from Nektar's website), allowing me to use the transport controls and the fader as if it were a control surface. Pretty neat! Keys feel good to me as a non-pianist. The drum pads feel good and sturdy as well. Knobs all feel good, although they're definitely in that budget-gear range of quality. The housing itself is sturdy, but plastic. The mod and pitch wheels offer an acceptable amount of resistance, and the transport buttons feel about the same as my FaderPort, which means they're just "fine". One thing that I have to commend Nektar for is the inclusion of a full-color, full-size user manual that goes into detail about every function that this keyboard is capable of. That's becoming way too rare these days, so I really appreciate the extra effort that they put into the manual for an entry-level piece of gear. ... show more

    • Works Well With GarageBand
Review Image by AnonZero
I purchased this as a control surface for GarageBand and picked it over the Akai and the similarly-priced units because it had transport keys. So from the door those transport keys, among other crucial functions, didn't map properly. Frustrated, I emailed Nektar and didn't expect a response immediately. What I got was a response the same day. They told me my software had become corrupt and offered a fix...I had to clear out the corrupted installation files and reinstall. That's it. Two minutes later everything worked the way it was supposed to. You can produce an entire song with this unit and never have to touch your computer, that's what I was after. I'm somewhat of a beginner and the LX25+ was easy to figure out and came with a physical manual as well as an online one. The only thing I would consider a "negative" for some people is that it's not really portable. It's a big, solid unit. But you're not going to put it into a backpack and stroll off with it. It's meant to be stationary in your home but it's not THAT huge, you could easily pack it up and take it with you...just not in the same laptop bag that your computer is in. Btw the laptop in the pic is a 13" MacBook Air, and that makes the LX25+ look larger than it is since it's such a small computer. All-in-all this was a great purchase and I'm very pleased. ... show more

    • Good price, bad keys.
This is an okay controller overall, but I returned it due to the stiff keys. I have been playing piano, synths and other keyboards for over 40 years. I have played on instruments from ultra-cheap Casio keyboards to grand pianos, but I have never played such stiff keys. Playing this keyboard is almost an unpleasant chore, requiring too much force for comfort or finess. So, the keys are the deal breaker for me. I returned this unit and spent more than double the price for a 25 key controller with semi-weighted keys and after-touch. Some other things that make this a less desirable unit are: no standard midi in/out ports, only one 1/4 inch expression/pedal port, and minimal software is included. On the plus side: this controller worked well with Logic, my DAW of choice, although advanced midi control setup looked daunting as it required the use of various keyboard keys to change settings. The pads worked okay, but there are no dedicated patch selectors for them. Changing the patches requires 2 hands: one to press the “shift” button and another to press a pad to select the patch. The unit looks good, feels solid, and the controls move smoothly. This controller might suit the casual user or the new player, but I can’t recommend it for continual use. ... show more
