Take Your Impact LX+ on the Road!

If you want the power of the Impact LX+ series without the extra keys and faders, the LX25+ is for you. Based on the award-winning Panorama and LX49+/LX61+ before it, the Nektar Impact LX25+ 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 Impact LX25+'s synth-action keys give you a smooth, precise feel, as do its pitch and mod wheels. In fact, all controls on the LX25+ - including the knobs, 30mm fader, and performance pads - feel great.

Nektar Impact LX25+ 25-key USB MIDI Controller at a Glance:
  • The keyboard controller done right
  • Ample control capabilities
  • Includes Bitwig 8-Track DAW software
The keyboard controller done right

The Impact LX25+'s 25-note velocity-sensitive keyboard sports a silky synth action with medium tension. 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.

Includes Bitwig 8-Track DAW software

From sketching and arranging musical ideas to final mixdown and even live performance, Bitwig DAW software gives you a powerful toolset and fast workflow. The Nektar Impact LX25+ comes with Bitwig 8-Track DAW software, which features the entire collection of Bitwig Studio devices for use on up to eight project tracks with audio or MIDI. Take it from Sweetwater - when you're looking for a streamlined, distraction-free work platform, Bitwig is hard to beat.

Nektar Impact LX25+ 25-key USB MIDI Controller Features:
  • 25-key USB MIDI controller with intelligent mapping for major DAWs
  • Comes pre-mapped and configured so you don't have to spend hours assigning MIDI controls
  • DAW integration with Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Digital Performer, Garageband, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Reason, SONAR, Studio One, FL Studio, and Reaper (includes Bitwig 8-Track)
  • 8 performance pads (assignable Green/Orange/Yellow/Red) can easily be assigned to MIDI notes or messages
  • 30mm fader and 8 control pots give you lots of hands-on control
  • Full transport controls
The Nektar Impact LX25+ is an excellent controller and a great value!

LX25+

Great midi controller works great in Reaper 5 stars
Music background: Bass and keyboards
Rated 5/5

Music production is so much better now!

I'm just starting out and saved up to get this as my first midi controller. It has made music making so much more fun. The ability to open up my DAW and just get into creating something 100% original easily has made the process so much more enjoyable.

The keys and drum pads are awesome for experimenting with sound velocity without spending forever writing in notes by hand. I don't have tiny hands either so it's nice to have a beautiful production tool that has full sized keys. It arrived very well packed, quickly, and in perfect shape.
I absolutely love my little nektar impact.

Above and Beyond

I spent a whole month carefully trying to find the right controller to last me awhile. I had worries and the only bad thing is that you need to rig ableton live up manually. But! it comes with fully maped controls for many other DAW's and includes Bigwig which is not at all bad. But I am very releaved and rewarded in feeling this is the best keyboard for the price and for what I want.
Its Huge.
Everything works. track buttons, all the knobs for all the catagories, such as Mixer, Instrement, and Presents. and inside that the instrament comes with 2 pages of Knobs so you get 16 not 8 knobs work with. if the display was a little more advanced you wouldnt even need to have to look at your computer to write a simple song.
One very cool feature, which im not sure how to explain it or what its called is the clips and scenes functions near the pads. you can record a clip, and they have it play on time and looped. and make more clips and probebly gets more advanced. you can write a while simple song in 30 seconds and then sing to it for a youtube video. im very happy with this HUGE controller.
Music background: Home and fun, more into synths
Rated 5/5

Great Controller

Works excellent for the program licensed for it. generic control mostly note data and programming for other DAWs (keys and pad maps)

thanks!

Exactly what I wanted

Great for living room fun with logic, reason, biab and sampletank. Plug and play into my MacBook. Headphones out of my baby face and can make some serious tracks.
Pack up in my backpack and get to church for additional sounds into the worship.
This little guy works. A true modern instrument.
