The The Nektar Impact LX61 MK3 Keyboard Controller is a powerful 61-key MIDI controller with deep DAW integration, hands-on controls (faders, encoders, pads), and expressive performance tools designed to simplify music production and live performance.
The Impact LX61 mk3 is a 61-key MIDI controller designed to provide expressive, hands-on control for both playing and production work. It features a redesigned keybed for smoother, more responsive playing, along with pitchbend/mod wheels and a footswitch input to provide expressive shaping. Beyond playing, it includes 9 full-resolution encoders, 8 faders, 8 velocity-sensitive pads, LED buttons, and many other physical controls to give instant access to DAW functions and plugin parameters.
With deep integration into many major DAWs and support for the Native Instruments NKS standard, the LX61 mk3 aims to streamline production and performance workflows. Users get native control over mixer functions, plugin instruments, loop recording/navigation, and more, while the performance tools (Scale, Chord, Hold) help maintain harmony and enable creative experimentation. All this is designed to let musicians and producers stay focused on creativity rather than constantly reaching for a mouse or menu.

Gets the job done well at a great price.
Jan 20th 2017First synth action keyboard. Works like a dream. Attach with VIs takes a couple minutes to get used to, but then you're off and running. DAW integration was not at all as easy as advertised, support is really lacking on their webpage, but mostly got it for playing and messing with synth plugins and for that it rocks the socks. Pads have a nice reaction time. For the price i'm not sure you can beat it.
