Nektar Impact LX88+ USB/MIDI Keyboard

Great keyboard! Very lite weight which is one of the best things about it. Easily transportable. Previously tried out the M-Audio Oxygen 88 keyboard which was great to play but incredibly heavy, so the Nektar was a great solution to this problem. The key action is good but not weighted. I think the keys are slightly smaller than normal piano keys so I'd find that I'd sometimes hit the wrong key by accident. You get used to it, but can be annoying if you flip between piano and this keyboard regularly. The main reason that I want to sell this keyboard soon is because of the velocity difference between the black keys and the white keys. The black keys are often louder than the white keys. Also, when using the sustain pedal, it often makes the notes softer rather than just sustaining the notes. The controls on the keyboard are excellent and are one of the main reasons I bought this keyboard. Great for syncing up to your DAW. Great for studio use. Would pick over M-Audio Keystation.

Nektar Impact LX88+ USB/MIDI Keyboard

Topproduct waarmee je echt goed beats kunt combineren in reason. Dat het een piano lengte heeft is geniaal dan kun je de hele lengte van een piano benutten. Dit is gewoon ideaal om te componeren.
