Direct access performance controls including large Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels, dedicated RGB patch buttons and a realtime Repeat Engine inspire your playing.

DAW CONTROL

Control DAW transport and other essential functions directly from Impact GXP using dedicated transport and navigation buttons. Supports 11 DAWs.

PRODUCE

All you need to create is included: Licenses for Steinberg’s acclaimed Cubase LE Music Production Software and Retrologue virtual synthesizer.

JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH

The newly designed and carefully balanced keyboard action is at the core of GXP49. The 49 semi-weighted keys are velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive with a nice firm touch and excellent playability. Choose from 5 different velocity curves to fine-tune the response to your requirements.

THE CONTROLS YOU NEED

A streamlined no-fuss control panel enables advanced DAW integration with extended transport control and more. In addition, GXP49 has 14 assignable illuminated RGB buttons for direct MIDI program- and bank-selection. If MIDI software is not supported by Nektar DAW Integration, you can also set up MIDI control yourself: Configure the buttons in the transport section to send out Program messages or MMC (MIDI Machine Control). Or assign any of the 28 assignable MIDI buttons, the modulation wheel, keyboard aftertouch, foot switches and of course the big control knob to send out MIDI cc messages (settings are stored over power cycling).

GREAT CONNECTIVITY

Impact GXP offers all the right connections. Plug in up to 3 external pedals: Connect any standard expression pedal and up to two standard footswitches (pedals not included). The MIDI Out socket lets you hook up any external MIDI gear, and can also serve as a MIDI Out interface for your computer. And you can also use the GXP as a stand-alone controller for external gear without any computer connected - simply power it via USB or from a standard DC 9V power supply (PSU optional).

REPEAT: GET INSPIRED

The Repeat Engine is great for creating inspiring rhythmic elements: Simply press the dedicated Repeat button, play and get inspired. The RGB buttons give you direct one-button access to Repeat Rates, Accent, Interval, Swing and routing aftertouch or modulation to velocity including tempo control from the large Data/Tempo Encoder. Choose from 5 different key trigger modes to change the repeat behaviour from interesting arpeggio-style effects with human feel to hard-quantized repetitive rhythms. Of course you can also synchronize Repeat to external MIDI clock.

NEKTARINE: ADVANCED CONTROL

Impact GXP can be used like any other standard MIDI controller with the features you’ve come to expect. But the included Nektarine plugin host and librarian software turns GXP into a stage-ready keyboard controller, serving up all your virtual VST, VST3 and AU instrument plugins. Launch Nektarine in any VST-, VST3-, AU- or AAX-compatible DAW and it immediately communicates with your GXP, delivering powerful control features for your instrument plugins: Switch complex setups like on a live keyboard workstation (including zones, layers and more); build multipatches from multiple instrument and effects plugins and have them available at the press of a button.
