And all this advanced functionality is packed into a sleek, compact, gig-ready 18-pound chassis that looks fantastic in your studio or stage rig.Advanced DAW integration that just works The Impact GXP88’s streamlined control panel is based on Nektar’s successful Impact GX series, and in keeping with Nektar’s advanced DAW integration philosophy, it offers extended transport control, track selection, and volume control as well as options to open and close DAW windows and navigate songs. For those who have never used a Nektar controller, the best news is that this is all automatic. You simply download and install the free DAW Integration file for your DAW and voilà — everything just works!Assignable illuminated RGB buttons What’s more, GXP88’s user interface also has 14 assignable illuminated RGB buttons for direct MIDI program- and bank-selection. Nektar’s new Key Repeat engine adds an intuitive real-time tool for spicing your music with inspired rhythmic patterns. You can control the Repeat feature directly from the GXP88’s illuminated RGB buttons. Once Repeat mode is engaged, the buttons allow for direct selection of Repeat Rates, Accent, Interval, Swing, and routing aftertouch or modulation to velocity. While Repeat is active, the second encoder becomes a dedicated tempo control, unless you’ve set synchronization to external MIDI clock.Advanced control of your plug-in instruments Nektarine is a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in that allows advanced Nektar control of your plug-in instruments from Nektar’s flagship Panorama controllers and the Impact GXP88. Nektarine gives the GXP88 powerful master keyboard functionality, with 16 slots for up to 16 VST or AU instrument plug-ins available for simultaneous use. The GXP88 brings instant patch recall to hybrid or entirely software-based keyboard setups with direct patch control from GXP88’s RBG patch buttons and the ability to define keyboard zones, layers, and splits for all hosted plug-ins. You can save your plug-in settings and combinations in a single Multi-patch for recall at the touch of a button. GXP88 works with any MIDI software on macOS, Windows, and iOS and can also be used as a standard MIDI controller for legacy MIDI gear right out of the box.Nektar Impact GXP88 Keyboard Controller Product Features: 88-note full-sized keybed with velocity and aftertouch 4 velocity curves and 3 fixed settings 14 RGB LED buttons for MIDI, note repeat, and Nektarine features Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels Push-push encoder for note repeat tempo control and Nektarine features Octave up/down buttons with LED indicators Transpose up/down buttons with LED indicators; assignable to other functions 7 transport buttons for advanced Nektar DAW integration (MIDI assignable) Shift button activate transport buttons secondary level for a total of 14 accessible buttons 5-pin MIDI Output jack 1/4-inch TRS jack for connection of 2 footswitches 1/4-inch TRS expression pedal jack 1 MIDI-assignable potentiometer Note Repeat button with LED tempo indicator Note Repeat Function button Nektarine plug-in control software included (downloadable) Cubase LE and Retrologue included Nektar DAW Integration for Impact GXP88 currently supports Bitwig, Cubase, Digital Performer, Logic, GarageBand, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, Sonar, Studio One USB port; USB bus powered 9V DC power socket for optional PSU SpecificationDetail Type Keyboard Controller Number of Keys 88 Type of Keys Semi-weighted Velocity Sensitive Yes Aftertouch Yes Other Controllers Pitchbend, Mod Wheel Encoders/Pots 1 x Push Encoder Dedicated Transport Control 7 x Transport Buttons Zones Zones, Layers and Splits Pedal Inputs 2 x 1/4" TRS (expression, switch) MIDI I/O Out/USB USB 1 x Type B Computer Connectivity USB Software Cubase LE, Retrologue 2 OS Requirements - Mac OS X 10.5 or later OS Requirements - PC Windows 7 or later Power Supply USB bus powered, 9V DC power supply (sold separately) Height 3.14" Width 52.95" Depth 9.05" Weight 18 lbs.
