Put 49 keys on your desk for less with the Nektar Impact iX49. This USB-powered MIDI controller features pitch and mod wheels and DAW transport control, too.

The Nektar Impact iX49 offers standard USB keyboard controller functionality as well as Nektar DAW integration with 11 DAWs. The 49 note full-size keyboard features pitch bend, modulation wheel and a footswitch jack for connecting a sustain pedal.

Because it's USB class-compliant, simply plug it into your computer -- no driver is required. Once plugged in, start composing using existing MIDI software or the included Presonus Studio One Artist DAW.

The octave and transpose buttons shift the keyboard up or down -3/+4 octaves or -/+12 semi-tones. In addition, the 2 transpose buttons are quickly configured to change MIDI Channel or send MIDI Program messages whenever you need those functions. Better still, pressing a key combination change the Octave and Transpose buttons function to send out MMC transport functions so you can activate start, stop and record directly from your keyboard (compatible with most DAWs including Pro Tools).

Pre-mapped Nektar DAW Integration
