Nektar Impact GXP49 49 Full Size Key USB MIDI DAW Controller Keyboard Semi-weighted w/Velocity & Aftertouch

The Nektar Impact GXP USB MIDI controller keyboards come in a variety of sizes  49, 61 or 88 semi-weighted keys whic hare built for people that play because they have access to performance controls including a real-time repeat engine, powerful Nektarine plugin patch management and Nektar DAW Integration. GXP gives you the keys to a great performance!

They cover a wide dynamic range from soft to hard touch 5 different velocity curve. The default curve “normal” is optimised to deliver good control across the whole velocity range right out of the box. In addition, 3 fixed levels let you send fixed velocity values across the whole keyboard if needed.

itenables advanced DAW integration with extended transport control, track selection and volume control. You can even open/close DAW windows and navigate projects and the 14 assignable illuminated RGB buttons allow direct MIDI program and bank-selection.

Dedicated RGB buttons now give you direct one-button access to Repeat Rates, Accent, Interval, Swing and routing aftertouch or modulation to velocity. The large Data/Tempo Encoder turns into a dedicated tempo control, unless synchronisation is set to external MIDI clock. Choose one of the 5 different key trigger modes to change Repeat’s behaviour from interesting arpeggio-style effects with human feel to hard-quantized repetitive rhythms. Repeat is a fun way to experiment and create those famous “happy accidents”, that make you come up with unexpected new ideas.
