Ever wanted a controller that hooks up automatically to your DAW? Impact LX49+ does exactly that. Avery capable 49-key controllerfor playing your keys and drums, and integrating with your DAW software,plusa 24-bit/192kHz USB audio interface for monitoring and recording audio, and clear sounding,comfortable headphonesto hear it all. There’s also enough software to start creating straight out of the box, with DAW for recording, plus synth and effect plugins for plenty of noise-making capability.
KEYS, PADS and CONTROLS:
The 49 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.
Nine 30mm faders, 9 MIDI buttons and 8 encoders are at the center of the Impact LX49+ 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.
For 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.
