Museek Mag Nektar Impact LX49+ and 61+ Nektar Impact LX61+ 61-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 LX61+’s 61-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.
