General
The compact, budget-friendly Nektar LX25 Impact is a surprisingly versatile MIDI keyboard that is also extremely user-friendly. The LX25 is compatible with most of the popular DAWs, and allows you to easily connect this keyboard to a PC or Mac via USB. All you have to do is install an integration file, and you're set to go! If you do not yet have a DAW, you can use the included complete Studio One Artist. The 25 full-size, piano-style keys provide medium tension for optimum comfort and playability similar to a full-sized digital piano.
The controls of the LX25
Use the six dedicated transport buttons to start recording or to forward or rewind, and press Shift to get access to the buttons' alternate functions. The compact LX25 also features eight knobs to control settings like volume or pan. Furthermore, the LX25 also features a fader for main volume control, as well as assignable octave and transpose buttons, and pitch bend and modulation wheels.
A comfortable MIDI keyboard
Next to two octaves worth of keys, the LX25 also features eight velocity-sensitive rubber pads that make life easy, and can be used as MIDI trigger or toggle buttons. Assigning these buttons is easy peasy: simply select a pad, play the note or drum sound, and you're done! You can then store your settings using one of the four pad map locations.

Alles wat ik in de setup, key assigning, mapping en draaiknop functies aan wil passen, moet je op het apparaat ,zelf instellen. Niet heel praktisch.
Maar het grootste probleem vond ik de pads. Hoge threshold waardoor je hard moet tappen voordat hij iets registreert. Je kunt wel de gevoeligheid aanpassen maar verandert er niets aan de registratiedrempel.
De toetsen voelen wel heel goed aan. Zeker als je de grotere broers van de impact gebruikt, kan ik me goed voorstellen dat het een prima midi keyboard is als je focus niet op de pads is gelegd.
Conclusie: matig. Zeker de 'slimme' bediening van de software in het apparaat zelf viel vies. De pads zijn slecht, maar toetsen zij goed voor zijn prijsklasse.
(Ik heb het product retour gestuurd en is zonder problemen omgeruild voor de AKAI mpk)
