Nektar

Description

Compact doesn’t mean limited when it comes to control. The Nektar Impact LX25 mk3 MIDI controller delivers expressive play and advanced DAW integration in a portable design that fits into any setup. Its 25 clean-action synth keys respond with precision through an optimized velocity curve, while eight velocity-sensitive pads add dynamic feel for beats and samples. With LED feedback, rotary encoders and seamless NKS compatibility, this controller keeps producers connected to their DAWs and plug-ins, turning creative sparks into finished tracks without breaking flow.

Nektar Impact LX25 mk3 Keybed With Velocity Response

Playability begins with a keybed that reacts to every touch. The redesigned synth-action keys feature Nektar’s clean-action design and optimized velocity curve, capturing nuances across soft lines and strong accents. From melodic runs to rhythmic stabs, this keybed makes it easier to play expressively and record parts that feel alive. For small setups or mobile rigs, it offers reliable response in a compact footprint.

DAW Integration on the Nektar Impact LX25 mk3

Workflow stays tight when the controller talks directly to your DAW. The LX25 mk3 features a dedicated DAW Looper and global encoder, giving users direct control over recording, navigation and parameter editing. Switch easily between channel volume, instrument cutoff and plug-in modes, with instant confirmation on the display and LED buttons. With transport controls built in, you can manage loops and sessions without leaving the keyboard.

Nektar Pads and Encoders for Creative Production

Performance tools adapt to your style. Eight velocity-sensitive pads respond with dynamic range for finger drumming, one-shots and sample triggering, while eight high-resolution rotary encoders provide smooth control over sends, pans and plug-ins. Scale, chord and hold modes expand possibilities for composition and live play, while transpose and pitch/mod wheels bring flexible expression to every session.

Flexible Connectivity and Software Bundle

Connections and software make this controller stage-ready and studio-friendly. A USB-C port handles both power and MIDI in a single cable, while a 1/4" TS input supports an optional footswitch for sustain or custom control. The LX25 mk3 comes bundled with a suite of DAW-ready instruments and sounds, giving producers a head start on projects. Compatible with Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio and more, it integrates easily into virtually any workflow.
