KEYS, PADS and CONTROLS:

Impact LX Mini features our newly developed keybed with 25 velocity-sensitive mini-keys. It can be played expressively and has a defined and firm feel. With a choice of 4 velocity curves and 3 fixed values, you can tailor the keyboard response to your playing style. Dedicated Octave buttons let you shift the octave swiftly for a wider reach. Additionally, the Part 2 buttons can be used for transpose.

The Joystick is 4 modulation controls in one: Left/right controls pitch bend, the upwards axis is preassigned to control modulation and the downwards axis is set to foot pedal control. The lever’s push button sends foot pedal at max. level. Up, Down and the push button are freely assignable to any MIDI CC# number. Settings are retained over power-cycling.

Control any MIDI music software from LX Mini’s 7 Transport buttons. All buttons are MIDI-assignable, with the shift button doubling the number of assignments to 14. With Nektar DAW integration,  you even get a third control level for a total of up to 21 functions – all pre-mapped for instant use.

8 knobs give you instant access to arpeggio, instrument or MIDI CC# parameters. The Instrument, Internal and Arp/Repeat mode buttons instantly assign the panel to the corresponding features. The Page button doubles the number of assignments.

How about controlling your virtual instruments like a hardware synth? LX Mini has a dedicated Instrument Mode button, that switches the knobs to control instrument parameters in most DAWs. And we’ve added screen printing to make it easy to remember assignments: Osc Tune, Level, Mod 1, Mod 2, Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope Amount and LFO. Using the Page button, you can assign two parameters to each knob for a total of 16. The large volume knob controls the channel volume. You assign parameters with Nektar Grab: Simply hold “Shift”, move a software control, then move the hardware control – done! In most DAWs you can save your assignments into maps for later recall. If Nektar DAW integration isn’t active, you can use Instrument Mode for MIDI learn in your DAW.

Impact LX Mini helps you creating expressive grooves and beats with its 8 velocity-sensitive pads. They offer a hyper-sensitive and even response, ideal for finger-drumming. Assignments are done in seconds and can be stored in 4 pad maps for a total of 32 note assignments.
