The Impact 49 works great. It's my 5th midi controller, the others were nice but too complicated to use. What sold me on the Impact is the Nektar site has a couple video demonstrations. One is assigning fader controls on the fly, just press a button and click the controls and move the sliders, that's all. They also have many DAW systems already mapped, so you can try them all out. I got the blemished one, there was a small dent in the retail box, nothing else wrong. Sold a digital piano to go back to midi keyboard and use virtual piano software, particularity the 120GB Garritan Yamaha CFX sample set.

Musical Background:

Play Fender guitars, piano, Omnisphere

The Impact 49 is simple and easy to use, everything works better than expected. Can make temporary controller assignments on the fly, takes only a few seconds. I like how Nektar has premapped files for all of the major DAW applications. This may be the budget controller they offer, but the quality is way up there.
