  • Perfect
Color: Dark Grey
Dope i love it

  • Nice, works great!
Color: Dark Grey
Setup was easy and painless with Reaper. I installed some really old versions of Reaper and had to use a generic set up and still it worked great/works great. I had to delete the roaming data to reinstall it on reaper's newer version after my tinkering in old versions. It feels solidly built. I am glad I didn't go with a cheaper model or one that was harder to set up. I am able to buy Reaper for $60 and play with free VSTs to my heart's content. I looked at more expensive software and synths but really for my level of expertise and dedication, Reaper and free VSTs is where I need to stay. But the keyboard worked with lots of different software without a problem for the basic features. I am not experienced enough to comment on the extra bells and whistles this comes with as I have not played with them that much. But they seem to be working. I feel like it will last and it was not much more to buy this instead of a less well made keyboard. I'm happy with this one. The 49 key is as large as I can fit on my desk. I ended up getting a mini keyboard and mouse to use while it is out. My husband added a shelf above my desk for it when I am not using it. The shelf is 2x10 and it overhangs slightly with the cord removed. I am using a powered USB hub with it and have had no issues with power being interrupted. The keys themselves seem full size, not skinny little things. It has some weight to it. I am really happy with this product and would buy from this company again in the future if I wanted to upgrade. I love having the extra keys so I can get a range of sounds out of the synths, for me the 49 key is perfect for now. ... show more

  • Fantastic keyboard for use with Logic Pro
Color: Dark Grey
First of all this has turned out to be a great midi keyboard. I searched for a couple of months for something that would be a good fit for an iMac/ Logic Pro set up and was close to buying the Arturia brand but I felt when finally comparing Nektar to Arturia they were very similar products however Nektar had the edge both in value for money and ease of use. The Nektar looks good and all the buttons and knobs do something. Once you go through the software integration process you will discover that the track volume controls are already mapped to Logic. Very handy. The knobs for control of your synthesizing needs are not and I am yet to manually map these. The keyboard feels fine. There is good enough sensitivity to the keys for loud and quiet play. I’ve played piano for thirty years and the keys were as expected for a midi. Plastic. Surprisingly I have used the pads. They are fun and if you like creating your own drum beat then they are good to have. To summarize I’m very happy with this midi. I’m still learning all the functions of Logic and Nektar but it’s good value, easy to use and FUN!! ... show more

  • Decent hardware, great software DAW integration at a very reasonable price
Color: Dark Grey
I have purchased three midi controllers from three different makers over the past 2 years. This one in particular was a gift for my son, although I did try it out with him for a while after he opened it. Thus, my opinions are on that short use. Hardware: Compared to the other two midi controllers I own (Akai MPK249 and NI Komplete S 49 MK2) the hardware of this controller is not as nice. However, it is also MUCH less expensive, so that should be expected. Compared to other midi controllers in this price range, the hardware seems about the same as others. So, more or less a wash IMHO. Software / DAW integration: This is where Nektar products shine in my opinion. If your DAW is on the list of supported DAWs, then the integration really helps make this controller far more usable than most other controllers. I have heard that Moog and other high-end controllers in the $2k price range have great DAW integration as well, but I wouldn't know. From what I saw and from what my son has told me, it automatically maps the transport and smart controls in Logic ProX to the rotary encoders, and maps the faders to the mixer controls. Very nice compared to what most midi controllers provide out of the box. Compared to my Akai MPK which has virtually no DAW integration, this is MUCH better. Compared to my Native Instruments Komplete S49 MK2, the DAW integration is about the same. (If you know about NI S49 MK2, you know the main point is integration with NI Komplete software, not really the native DAW instruments. In this regard the Nektar's integration with stock Logic instruments is better than my NI S49 MK2). Let's face it, unless you're a professional musician performing on stage, software integration is what really makes a midi controller useful, so in that case this is one of the best priced options you could make IMHO. ... show more

  • Excellent 49 Key Midi Controller! Get this one.
Color: Dark Grey
This is a a great value and a very versatile midi controller. It works will all major DAW software including Ableton Live (despite some of the descriptions to the contrary about it being difficult to use with Ableton Live). I had no issue using it with Ableton Live or Reaper however, it works best with PreSonus Studio One Version 5 and the included license for the Bitwig DAW. The Nektar seems easier to setup completely (apart from the piano keyboard, the volume and mixing controls are easier to setup in Studio One and Bitwig but I also got them to work in Ableton. Reaper was the most difficult setup but it does work.) within those DAWs and it also has no issue with notation software like Musescore, Sibelius and Notion. The keyboard itself has semi-weighted keys so it is easier to play than a regular piano so if you're looking for a more piano-like keyboard, try a keyboard with fully-weighted keys (the Nektar is semi-weighted). The drum pads work very well as do the mixing controls. This is an excellent, feature-rich value at the <$200 range so I highly recommend this Nektar LX49. ... show more
