Impact LX88+ does it all, and more.Nektar DAW Integration custom designed for most of the popular DAWs, takes Impact LX88+ way beyond functionality normally offered by a MIDI controller keyboard. With Impact LX88+ the hard work is done, so you can focus on your creativity.The 88 note velocity sensitive keyboard is a semi-weighted action with medium tension. Carefully balanced with an even and dynamic response , the Impact LX88+ offers 4 velocity curves that gradually increase in dynamics so there is a match for any playing style. If you dont need velocity, 3 fixed velocity levels cater for a consistent output. The full-size, piano-style keys are covered to protect against dirt and dust while also complementing the Impact LX88+ design. Transpose buttons as well as pitch bend and modulation wheels are within reach, so you can quickly shift the keyboard up or down as needed, or apply additional articulation with the wheels.FeaturesKeyboard88 note, velocity-sensitive semi-weighted keyboard4 velocity curves + 3 fixedPitch bend & Modulation wheelsTranspose shift buttonsControls8 potentiometers9 30mm faders9 assignable buttons6 dedicated transport buttons5 preset locations store control settingsPage button (for Nektar DAW Integration only)Nektar DAW Integration for major DAWsPads8 velocity sensitive padsEach pad LED illuminated with 4 color options: Green, Yellow, Orange and Red4 velocity curves plus 3 fixedNote-learnPads assignable notes and MIDI cc messagesLoad or Save to any of 4 pad mapsClips and Scenes LED buttonsConnections1/4 TS jack foot switch input (MIDI Assignable)MIDI Out (can be routed from LX88+ or from DAW)USB port on rear panel, and USB bus poweredConnects to iPad via Apple Camera Connection Kit (not supplied)Power supply socket (PSU optional) 9v 600mA, center positive, 2.1mm barrel connectorSystem RequirementsUSB Class compliant, no driver is needed for:Apple iOS, Apple OSX, Windows XP, or higher, Linux (MIDI driver software required)Nektar DAW IntegrationMac OS X 10.7 or higher, Windows Vista, 7 & 8 or higherWeight & DimensionsDimensions: 50 1/4?(L) x 11?(D) 3.5 (H)Weight: 18 Lbs
