Make music anywhere – a full-featured controller that fits in your backpack. The Nektar Impact GX Mini is a 25-key USB MIDI controller with velocity-sensitive mini keys, a joystick and DAW control buttons. It is a smart first controller for beginners and a handy travel keyboard for producers.
Why customers choose it
- Expressive mini keys: a newly developed velocity-sensitive keybed with a defined, firm feel and 3 velocity curves (standard, soft, hard).
- Joystick: left/right for pitch bend; up/down for modulation and foot controller, also assignable to other MIDI CCs.
- More than 25 keys: Part 2 buttons momentarily shift octave, transpose, layer an extra octave or switch MIDI channel – and spring back when you let go.
- DAW control: 8 buttons for transport, track navigation and windows with Nektar DAW Integration for Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cakewalk, Cubase, Digital Performer, FL Studio, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason and Studio One (Pro Tools template included).
- Sustain ready: a footswitch socket with adapter cable in the box.
