For Seamless DAW Integration and an Improved Creative Workflow!
The Impact LX mk3 series from Nektar comprises four MIDI controller keyboards - LX25, LX49, LX61 and LX88 - designed for a personalized, DAW-integrated workflow that enhances both performance and production. A redesigned keyboard delivers expressive, clean mechanics with refined velocity response, while high-resolution encoders and colored LED buttons support intuitive parameter control and DAW navigation.
A standout feature is the dedicated DAW looper, which enables hands-free creation and editing of loops directly from the controller. This works seamlessly with linear timeline-based DAWs and also supports clip launchers. Timeline scrolling, loop recording and loop-point adjustment are controlled via LED buttons and the large encoder, boosting recording efficiency and creativity.
The global encoder offers three switchable modes with Nektar DAW integration: channel volume, instrument cutoff and control selection for all DAW/plugin parameters. Fine control with 10-bit resolution and real-time parameter value display provide studio-grade precision. The controller supports Native Instruments' NKS standard and integrates with Komplete Select to enable instant control of any NKS-compatible plugin in any DAW.
Eight velocity-sensitive LED pads come pre-mapped for common drum instruments but are fully customizable. Mixer and Instrument modes provide hands-on control of faders, encoders, sends, pan and plugin parameters with predefined templates for popular virtual instruments.
Advanced Performance Tools Include:
- Scale Mode: Restricts notes to a selected scale.
- Chord Mode: Plays chords of 2–6 notes with user presets and inversions.
- Hold Mode: Offers legato or flexible sustain.
- Transpose: Shifts the key globally, affecting all active modes.
Hardware highlights include USB-C connectivity, 8 faders, 8 full-resolution encoders, 8 pads, transport buttons, a bright LED display and full MIDI programmability. The LX88 mk3 features semi-weighted keys, while the LX25 mk3, LX49 mk3 and LX61 mk3 use a synthesizer-action keybed.
