Nektar’s new Impact

-

After last month’s new cricket bat – OK it was the SE61 keyboard – Nektar are on something on a roll and have now announced the new GXP range of controller keyboards, which is designed for both studio and live use. There are three keyboards in the range – 49, 61 and 88-notes – all of which have full sized, semiweight­ed keys with velocity and aftertouch. As you can see, they look pretty streamline­d but do feature “advanced” DAW integratio­n with transport control, track selection, volume, navigation and 14 assignable RGB buttons, and on the live front have features including a new real-time Key Repeat engine for “creating inspiring rhythmic elements”. Prices are pretty decent too: $190/€190 /£170 for the GXP49, $230/€230 /£200 for the GXP61 and $300/€300 /£265 for the GXP88, which is particular­ly good money for a full sized 88-note. Available now.
