Overview

A MIDI controller with advanced DAW integration and dynamic pads.

Creative tools should inspire every session. The Nektar Impact LX61 mk3 MIDI controller delivers 61 synth-action keys, velocity-sensitive pads and deep DAW integration in a design that balances power with portability. Its redesigned velocity curve offers expressive response for detailed playing, while transport buttons, rotary encoders and LED feedback put essential production tools within reach. A built-in DAW Looper, real-time parameter display and bundled software round out a controller built to keep musicians and producers locked into their creative flow.

Nektar LX61 mk3 Keybed With Expressive Response

The playing surface defines the performance. The 61 synth-action keys use Nektar’s clean-action design with an optimized velocity curve that captures the full range of dynamics. Subtle pressure translates into nuanced phrasing, while quick runs and repeated notes stay precise. This responsive keybed gives players the flexibility to handle intricate melodies, complex chords and driving bass lines with equal confidence.

DAW Integration on the Nektar Impact LX61 mk3

Workflow speeds up when control is close at hand. The LX61 mk3 features a DAW Looper, global encoder and dedicated transport buttons to manage looping, recording and navigation directly from the keyboard. Users can switch quickly between channel volume, instrument cutoff and plug-in parameters, with instant confirmation shown on the display. LED-backed buttons provide clear visual feedback, making it easy to stay on top of tracks, edits and mix moves without reaching for a mouse.

Nektar Pads and Encoders for Real-Time Sound Shaping

Drums, samples and automation respond the moment you touch them. Eight velocity-sensitive pads trigger beats and samples with natural dynamics, while eight rotary encoders manage pans, sends and plug-ins. A dual-page layout doubles available controls, and the display updates automatically to reflect changes in real time. These tools let producers add detail, movement and performance energy directly from the controller.

Durable Build With USB-C Connectivity

Consistent performance demands solid construction. The LX61 mk3 features a reinforced chassis, sturdy encoders and responsive pads designed for heavy use. A USB-C port supplies both MIDI and power through one cable, minimizing clutter, while a 1/4" TS input accepts a footswitch for additional control. Whether on stage or in the studio, this build ensures reliability across countless sessions and performances.
