Its compact design offers comfort in front of the computer and provides powerful functionality that is not found even in more comprehensive controllers. In moments of inspiration, the Impact GX61 provides the necessary control so that none of your ideas are ever wasted. Compact, powerful control.
The Impact GX61 is a dynamic and expressive tool, specially designed for composition and performance with your computer's music system. The seamless interface is an excellent introduction to the world of Nektar controllers.
It features a 61-key keyboard (5 octaves), pitch-bend/modulation wheel, pedal input, two color-coded buttons for octave shift (-3/+4 octaves), and dedicated transpose buttons that allow for shifting up to +/-12 semitones. Eight buttons in the center of the GX61 extend its functionality to include control of all major DAW functions. The buttons can control all MIDI parameters, making the workflow even more user-friendly.
With the Impact GX61, the controller keyboard becomes part of your system, providing the creative comfort to compose and play without constantly needing to use the mouse when you're in the middle of capturing an idea.
As a low-power USB device, the Impact GX61 works with all USB devices that have a compatible MIDI driver. This includes all versions of Windows from XP and above, Apple OS X 10.5 and above, and Linux (provided the USB MIDI driver package is installed).
You can also easily connect your Impact GX61 controller to an Apple iPad using the optional iPad USB camera connection kit (optional). Naturally, the Impact GX61 is powered by the iPad, so it can operate as long as your iPad remains charged.
