    • My Research Paid Off and I Got What I Needed!
Style: Keyboard
I have to admit that I did a lot of research before I finally chose the Nektar impact GX61 as a midi controller because I have a dual purpose for it--to use it to play some sound modules on gigs and to use it in the studio. Well, I've tried it on a performance, and it works great! Very easy to operate and program and the size and weight are perfect! The build and keyboard action quality are very good, especially for a keyboard that isn't weighted. The cost is great as well. So, far so good! In the studio will be the next test but based on what I've experienced so far, I expect a great experience! I will note that I did have to replace the first one I got because apparently, I was sent one that had been opened prior. But once I got the replacement which was in a couple days I was completely satisfied! ... show more

    • Everything I needed in a compact format at a decent price.
Style: Keyboard
I needed a 61 key keyboard with full size keys and relatively narrow depth to keep on my desk. This one has a nice combination of size, assignable midi controls and efficient use of space. The keys are not weighted, but have a nice crisp feel when playing. It's powered by USB so it needs only one cable. The build quality is excellent. The transport controls integrate seamlessly with the Logic Pro DAW. It's a bargain comparable to keyboard/controllers costing twice as much. ... show more

    • A beauty you need to buy.

This is a product you won't regret buying- The quality level was above my expectations. It feels professional and meticulously made. It's easy to feel comfortable with it. I'd recommend buying some sort of case so it gets some extra protection, even though it's been made with durable materials. I use it almost on a daily basis and I couldn't ask for more. It gets the job done and never disappoints . It's easy to program. Any DAW will detect it with ease. It also comes in a perfect size for my desk- 61 keys is all you need. The light buttons are of great help and the keys seem very stable and resistant. I couldn't love it more. If you're thinking about buying a MIDI Keyboard you would fall in love with, this is the one. ... show more

    • Well built keyboard with some compromises
Style: Keyboard
Out of the box this keyboard feels solid and well made. Very simple to setup, my Mac automatically recognized it which allows you to get up and running in no time. User manual is straight to the point and goes through the midi setup using the keys. Then comes time to play. The keys offer some resistance but nothing like the feeling of a real weighted piano so it takes time to get used to it as the keys are pretty stringy which makes some of the keys difficult to play. The transpose function works fine but here again it takes a bit of time to get use to 62 keys rather than the full size but that was expected and given the space it saves this is something I am ok to leave with. Overall, I think this keyboard is a great tool for anyone who wants to learn piano or who is an experienced player who needs a device connected to a computer. Nektar did a pretty good job in designing this keyboard even though there are a few compromises but at this price point it’s ok. ... show more

    • These full size keys have an above adequate "feel" for unweighted plastic key!
Style: Keyboard
This product arrived and was delivered to my side entry garage with packaging in excellent shape and contents displayed on packaging which was expected. I am grateful, with porch pirates on the rise. They usually deliver to front door visible from street and never hit the bell. Currently doing a first time Hauptwerk build, I installed the keyboard. It works splendidly and I was completely surprised by the feel of the keys. For un-weighted, full size synthetic polymer keys, they possess a remarkable above average, attack action. The midi signals this unit emits were immediately detected with no install time or buffer at all. Excellent for practicing and I have ordered another with plans for two more ( 4 manuals) in the future until I can make the investment for more a sophisticated set up from a Hauptwerk hardware distributor. In my opinion, this is a great buy and value. ... show more

I got the Nektar back in 2021. If I do say so my self, the product didn't disappoint. I originally got this midi to just substitute for a real piano, so that I could play around and practice. A long with it I ended up getting a bitwig studio licence which was (temporary) nice. I love how the keys aren't heavy or to soft. They are well pressure sensitive, so there's no need to attack the keys too hard or worry about needing to be extra delicate with your strokes. The Octave and transpose buttons are a nice touch to get different sounds as well as the pitch dial. If your actively deciding to compose/record music which I don't necessarily do so much, as I mostly like to just play around. The eight buttons near the top right of the keyboard makes it easy for, a quick access recorder, track player, undo button pause play and rewind key. I assume the shift button is for selecting tracks. The volume knob makes for a nice touch so you don't need to go into your software to manually change how loud your midi volume is. With bitwig I find that this is very compatible and has lots of cool options for how you can make your midi experience great and fun The biggest pro for this keyboard I'd say is, there's no latency issues so far. And it doesn't collect dust. The keys when pressed don't have a delay which is nice it's something I've often found as an issue when using other keyboards. It's nice and sturdy as well. No loose keys and I've been using it for more then two years, maybe not as consistent as every day par say, but definitely a lot, yet I haven't seen any waring down on the keys, still has that nice color that it first came with. They keyboard itself has ports for foot sustaining. So I assume if you where to buy or had an attachment/ foot pedal for sustaining, then you can draw out the keys by using that instead of relying on holding keys and or editing your track in software. Which is very nifty. Lastly there is indeed an on and off switch, which I assume it's probably to use that as to not wear the hardware built on the inside of this lovely device. I give this a nice 5 star review as it hasn't let me down and I haven't personally found myself complaining about a single thing when using this keyboard. ... show more

    • Great value, non-weighted keys that feel as good as others for more money.
Style: Keyboard
USB bus powered midi keyboard that I keep beside my workstation. As good of key feel (or better) than most of the main name brand keys. Mappable buttons and wheels work well. Really decent value for the money. Find the velocity to be usable and sensitive.

    • the best midi keyboard on amazon for its price.
Style: Keyboard
A lot of items on amazon in this category being "midi keyboards" are generally all plastic mushy key garbage with stupid drivers that don't work in the first place. This keyboard is not that, the GX61 is extremely high quality for its price, the keys are very not mushy and feel a lot like my grandpa's old piano I had as a kid :D I personally use this for making beats within FL Studio 20, it works flawlessly within that with very little troubleshooting to get it going if you know at a basic level what you are doing. they give you a wide variety of onboard options for the keyboard, but these aren't required to be used to experience the functionality of this item. other than the octave and transpose selectors essentially. I give this item 5 stars if you are looking for a good full sized midi keyboard on amazon. For its price, ($127) this can't be beat. ... show more
