A 61-note velocity sensitive keyboard, eight velocity sensitive pads, rubberized fader caps and a low-profile design make the Impact LX61 feel, look and perform in a league with the most popular controllers on the market. DAW integration with most of the popular DAWs makes it easy to get going and a breeze to set up. With Impact LX61 the hard work is done, so you can focus on your creativity. KEYBOARD The 61-note velocity sensitive keyboard is features a satisfyiung synth action with a medium tension. The full-size, piano-style keys are covered to protect against dirt and dust, while also complementing the Impact LX design. With four velocity curves gradually increasing in dynamics, there is a choice for any playing style from smooth organ tickles to rock and roll piano bashing. If you don't need velocity, three fixed velocity levels cater to a consistent output. Octave and transpose buttons as well as pitch bend and modulation wheels are within reach, so you quickly can shift the keyboard up or down as needed, or apply additional articulation with the wheels. OCTAVE & TRANSPOSE BUTTONS There is more to the four Octave & Transpose buttons than meets the eye. Four functions are selectable on the fly so you can make important changes at any time, even while you play. Key combination shortcuts make assignment quick and easy. Choices include sending out MIDI Program Messages, change the Global MIDI Channel or select any of Impact LX's 5 user presets with either the Octave or Transpose buttons. PADS For groove and beat creation, the Impact LX's eight velocity sensitive pads make life easy. Each pad can be assigned any MIDI note number or MIDI cc message, for use as MIDI trigger or toggle buttons. But the best part is the "Pad Learn" feature, which allows you to just select a pad, play the note or drum sound you want on the keyboard and assignment is done. No complex menus for a task that's essential for getting the most out of your pads. Assignments are stored over power cycling so you don't lose your settings when you switch your system off for the night. In addition, four pad map locations can store your settings for future recall. USER PRESETS & PROGRAMMING MIDI If you mainly want to use your DAWs MIDI learn features, Impact LX is easy to come to grips with. There are 2 non-overlapping, read-only presets on the Mixer and Instrument buttons so you can quickly switch between independent and unique setups. These presets are also used for Impact LX's integrated DAW support. In addition, 5 user presets are programmed for GM compatible and "learn-friendly" setups plus they can of course be overwritten with your own settings. With the Impact LX's "Null" function switched to on, parameter values are stored when you switch between presets so you avoid parameter jumping. DAW CONTROL Impact LX61 software integration supports most of the popular DAWs. A common workflow gives access to many of the functions you are most likely to need when recording and performing with your Impact LX. The best part is that it's all done for you. All you have to do is complete the installation process and start making music.
