IMPACT GX MINI
GX MINI: ESSENTIAL CONTROL WITH THE NEKTAR EXTRA
Impact GX Mini fits the power of Nektar’s acclaimed Impact GX range of USB MIDI controller keyboards into your backpack: 25 mini keys with velocity, Joystick for modulation control and even Nektar DAW integration for most popular DAWs.
Our unique Part 2 feature adds momentary transpose, layering and more. Impact GX Mini helps capture your ideas no matter where inspiration strikes!
PLAY
GX Mini features our newly developed velocity-sensitive keybed with 25 mini keys. Despite their miniscule dimensions, you can play them expressively with a defined and firm feel. You can also adjust the keyboard response to your playing style by choosing from three velocity curves.
BEND
Control pitch bend, modulation and other real-time MIDI messages with the Joystick. The left/right axis is assigned to pitch, the up/down axis is pre-assigned to modulation and foot controller but is also assignable to other MIDI CC-messages.
CONTROL
Control your DAW from GX Mini: Eight dedicated buttons put essential DAW functions right at your fingertips. Give your mouse a break and control transport, track navigation and other features with Nektar DAW Integration for most popular DAWs. The buttons are also MIDI assignable for use with any software that’s not supported.
PART 2
On a keyboard with just 25 keys, you may hit the range limit. This is where Part Two comes in; while playing, press one of the dedicated "Part 2" buttons and momentarily shift the octave up or down, transpose, layer another octave on top - or switch to another MIDI channel altogether. The instant you release the buttons, Impact GX Mini reverts back to its original settings. What's more, any note that was played before pressing "Part 2" will keep playing at the original settings, allowing you to play and hold some low bass notes while playing a solo over the top - a great performance feature!
HOLD
GX Mini even has a footswitch connector, so you can connect a sustain pedal. As it is programmable, you can assign any other MIDI CC message as well.
