Impact GX49
Compact. Powerful. Control.
Nektar MIDI Controller keyboards are known for their seamless integration with DAWs on both Mac and Windows, and the Impact GX49 & GX61 continue this tradition. With a compact design that is comfortable to use with a computer, these controllers offer powerful functionality not typically found on more comprehensive models. When inspiration strikes, the Impact GX 49 & 61 provide the necessary control to capture ideas while they are fresh. Compact, powerful, and intuitive.
IMPACT GX CONTROLLER KEYBOARD
The Impact GX49 and GX61 are dynamic and expressive instruments, tailored to composition & performance with your computer music system. They are compatible with any music software for Windows and Mac OS and their no-fuss interface is a great entry into the world of Nektar controllers.
They feature a 49-note (4 octave) or 61-note (5 octave) keyboard, pitch-bend wheel, modulation wheel and foot switch socket. Two multi-coloured octave buttons enable shifting the keyboard range up or down -3/+4 octaves with the LED colours changing to show the exact status. So the Impact GX range is well equipped to deliver a great workflow.
Shift the keyboard range up to +/- 12 semi tones from the dedicated transpose buttons. These buttons can quickly be re-purposed to change the Global MIDI Channel or send Program messages. Additionally, an assignable potentiometer provides control over any MIDI parameter. By default it adjusts mixer volume.
Nektar DAW Integration for most popular DAWs makes it easy to get going, and a pleasure to use. With Impact GX, your controller becomes the heart of your system, giving you the creative freedom to compose, perform and play, without having to reach for your mouse all the time.
