Description

A performance-focused MIDI controller with semi-weighted keys & Nektar DAW integration.

The Nektar Impact GXP gives you a full-sized, semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch, delivering a natural feel and responsive control.

Direct access to essential controls

The GXP’s front panel provides immediate control over your DAW. Transport buttons, track navigation, and volume controls are all accessible without reaching for your mouse. 14 assignable RGB buttons and a single large encoder give full flexibility for custom setups and plugin control.

Repeat engine for live creativity

The built-in Repeat Engine helps you generate rhythm and groove instantly. Dedicated RGB buttons give you control of rate, accent, swing, and trigger modes, so you can perform dynamic patterns in real time.

Integrated DAW control

With Nektar DAW Integration, you can control key functions in popular DAWs like Cubase, Logic, FL Studio, and Ableton Live. Track selection, transport, and patch navigation are handled directly from the keyboard, streamlining your workflow.

Software and sound bundle

Impact GXP includes Steinberg’s Cubase LE DAW and Retrologue 2 VST synthesizer. Together, they provide all the tools you need to record, mix, and produce music right away. You also get access to Nektarine plugin management software, which organises and recalls your instruments and patches with ease.

Flexible connectivity

The GXP includes MIDI out, USB connectivity, and inputs for expression and footswitch pedals. You can power it via USB or an optional 9V DC supply for standalone use with external gear.
