Tailored for Composition and Performance

Crafted for both composition and performance within your computer music setup, the Impact GX61 is a dynamic and expressive instrument. Its user-friendly interface makes it an ideal gateway to the world of Nektar controllers. The 61-note (5 octave) keyboard, complemented by a pitch-bend wheel, modulation wheel, and foot switch socket, provides you with the tools needed to create and perform your best.

Enhanced Octave and Transpose Functionality

Equipped with two multi-colored octave buttons, the Impact GX61 allows you to shift your keyboard’s range up or down by -3/+4 octaves. The LED colors change to reflect the current status, making it easy to keep track. Dedicated transpose buttons enable you to shift the keyboard range by up to +/- 12 semitones. Need to repurpose these buttons? They can be assigned to alter the Global MIDI Channel or send Program messages, providing you with ultimate flexibility. Additionally, the assignable potentiometer gives you control over any MIDI parameter – perfect for controlling mixer volume by default.

Streamlined DAW Integration

Nektar’s DAW Integration ensures a seamless connection between your hardware and your digital audio workstation. No more constant mouse reaching – with the Impact GX61, your controller keyboard becomes an integral part of your system. Compose, perform, and play without interruption. The Impact GX61 comes equipped with transport control, track navigation, volume adjustment, window launching, and patch navigation, all directly accessible from the controller itself.

Expanded Transport Control

Eight buttons, strategically placed at the heart of the Impact GX61, provide comprehensive DAW control. Essential tasks like activating transport functions and navigating tracks become fluid and intuitive. Paired with Nektar DAW integration, these buttons extend their functionality to encompass control over transport and various crucial DAW functions, all without the need for your mouse. Additionally, these buttons can be programmed to send MIDI messages for compatibility with non-integrated MIDI software, offering you a total of 14 programmable options.

Custom MIDI Control and Setup

Beyond its DAW control capabilities, the Impact GX61 is also a versatile MIDI controller. If your MIDI software isn’t supported by Nektar DAW integration, fear not – you have an array of options to configure MIDI control on your own terms. The 14 assignable MIDI buttons, modulation wheel, foot switch, and control knob can all be assigned to send out MIDI CC messages. Moreover, these assignable buttons can be set up to transmit Program messages or MMC transport control, ensuring compatibility with DAWs that don’t support advanced integration.

Seamless Connectivity and Apple iOS Compatibility

The Impact GX61 operates as a low-powered USB device, compatible with any USB device featuring a Class compliant MIDI driver. From Windows XP and Apple OS X 10.5 to Linux (with a USB MIDI driver package), the Impact GX61 ensures universal compatibility. For those on the go, connecting to an Apple iPad is a breeze using the optional USB camera connection kit. The Impact GX61 draws power from the iPad itself, allowing for extended creative sessions.

Bitwig 8-Track Included

Each Impact GX61 comes bundled with Bitwig 8-Track, offering an excellent platform for production, performance, and sound design right from the start. Boasting over 50 software instruments and effects for use across 8 audio or MIDI project tracks, Bitwig 8-Track is a powerful tool. It even supports third-party VST plug-ins. The included ‘Bitwig Essentials Package’ provides a curated selection of loops, clips, and samples, jumpstarting your musical endeavors.
