Ever wanted a MIDI controller that hooks up automatically to your DAW? Impact LX49+ and LX61+ do exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNektar DAW Integration custom designed for Bitwig, Cubase, Cakewalk, Digital Performer, FL Studio, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason and Studio One takes Impact LX+ way beyond functionality normally offered by a USB MIDI controller keyboard. With Impact LX+ the hard work is done, so you can focus on your creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe 49 or 61 note velocity sensitive keyboard is a synth action with a medium tension. With 4 velocity curves gradually increasing in dynamics there is a choice for any playing style. If you don’t need velocity, 3 fixed velocity levels cater for a consistent output. Octave and transpose buttons as well as pitch bend and modulation wheels are within reach, so you can quickly shift the keyboard up or down an octave or semitone or apply additional articulation with the wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eOCTAVE \u0026amp; TRANSPOSE BUTTONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere is more to the 4 Octave \u0026amp; Transpose buttons than meets the eye. 4 functions are selectable on the fly so you can make important changes at any time, even while you play. A key combination makes assignment quick and easy. Choices include sending out MIDI Program Messages, change the Global MIDI Channel or select any of Impact LX+’s 5 user presets with either the Octave or Transpose buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCONTROL CENTER\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNine 30mm faders, 9 MIDI buttons and 8 encoders are at the center of the Impact LX49+ and LX61+ control panel. Each control is fully MIDI programmable to send any MIDI CC message for use with hardware or software MIDI products. Used with Nektar DAW integration, the controls take on a life of their own, providing flexible pre-mapped DAW control giving you the best of both worlds. All MIDI controller settings can be stored in any of the 5 Impact LX+ presets for recall at any time. And if you switch Null on, any parameter values are stored when you change presets so you avoid parameter jumping.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003ePADS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor groove and beat creation, Impact LX’+s 8 velocity sensitive pads make life easy. Calibrated to trigger at a light touch, finger drumming is suddenly well within reach with a nice and even velocity response. Each pad can be assigned any MIDI note number or MIDI cc message for use as MIDI trigger or toggle buttons. But the best part is the “Pad Learn“ feature, which allows you to just select a pad, play the note or drum sound you want on the keyboard and assignment is done. No complex menus for a task that’s essential to getting the most out of your pads. Assignments are stored over power cycling so you don’t lose your settings when you switch your system off for the night. In addition, 4 pad map locations can store your settings for future recall.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eNEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eImpact LX49+ and LX61+ software DAW integration sets it apart from other MIDI controllers.
