GXP gives you the keys to a great performance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKEYS: JUST THE RIGHT TOUCH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of Impact GXP is a newly designed and carefully balanced keyboard action. Its 49, 61 or 88 semi-weighted full-size keys with velocity and aftertouch deliver a nice, firm touch and great playability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose from 5 different velocity curves to tailor Impact GXP’s keyboard sensitivity to your personal needs. They cover a wide dynamic range from soft to hard touch. The default curve “normal” is optimized to deliver good control across the whole velocity range right out of the box. In addition, 3 fixed levels let you send fixed velocity values across the whole keyboard if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIRECT ACCESS: THE CONTROLS YOU NEED\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpact GXP’s streamlined no-fuss control panel is based on Nektar’s successful Impact GX-series. It enables advanced DAW integration with extended transport control, track selection and volume control. You can even open\/close DAW windows and navigate projects and the 14 assignable illuminated RGB buttons allow direct MIDI program- and bank-selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpact GXP is a MIDI controller as well as a DAW controller:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you use MIDI software that’s not supported by Nektar DAW Integration, you can also set up MIDI control yourself. The assignable buttons in the transport section can be configured to send out Program message or MMC (MIDI Machine Control) transport control. In addition, any of the 28 assignable MIDI buttons, the modulation wheel, keyboard aftertouch, foot switches and of course the big control knob, can be assigned to send out MIDI cc messages. The settings are stored over power cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGREAT CONNECTIVITY: MIDI, PEDALS, POWER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpact GXP gives keyboard players all the right expression options needed for live and studio work. It offers large pitch bend \u0026amp; modulation wheels and connections for up to 3 optional external pedals: Connect any standard expression pedal to the first, and any standard footswitch to the second socket. And if you use an optional Y-cable adapter, the footswitch socket even supports two independent switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpact GXP can also be used stand-alone with external MIDI gear: The rear panel includes a 5-pin MIDI out jack and an external power supply socket for powering the unit when not connected via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eREPEAT: GET INSPIRED\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Repeat Engine is great for creating inspiring rhythmic elements: Simply press the dedicated Repeat button, play and get inspired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDedicated RGB buttons now give you direct one-button access to Repeat Rates, Accent, Interval, Swing and routing aftertouch or modulation to velocity. The large Data\/Tempo Encoder turns into a dedicated tempo control, unless synchronization is set to external MIDI clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose one of the 5 different key trigger modes to change Repeat’s behaviour from interesting arpeggio-style effects with human feel to hard-quantized repetitive rhythms.  Repeat is a fun way to experiment and create those famous “happy accidents”, that make you come up with unexpected new ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION: GIVE YOUR MOUSE A BREAK!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall Nektar DAW Integration and the 8 buttons right above the wheels let you take control of essential tasks in your DAW right from Impact GXP.

Nektarine adds powerful control features for your VST, VST3 and AU instrument plugins to Impact GXP!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunch Nektarine in your DAW and it immediately communicates with your Impact GXP: Now you are ready to create Multis with up to 10 instrument plugins, each with up to 4 insert FX plugins each and additionally 4 global send FX. All of this is stored in one Multi Patch and can be assigned to one of GXP’s ten RGB-illuminated front panel buttons for instant recall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust want to play? Simply run the also included Nektarine stand-alone app and play your plugins without running any DAW.
