Review: My Research Paid Off and I Got What I Needed! - I have to admit that I did a lot of research before I finally chose the Nektar impact GX61 as a midi controller because I have a dual purpose for it--to use it to play some sound modules on gigs and to use it in the studio. Well, I've tried it on a performance, and it works great! Very easy to operate and program and the size and weight are perfect! The build and keyboard action quality are very good, especially for a keyboard that isn't weighted. The cost is great as well. So, far so good! In the studio will be the next test but based on what I've experienced so far, I expect a great experience! I will note that I did have to replace the first one I got because apparently, I was sent one that had been opened prior. But once I got the replacement which was in a couple days I was completely satisfied!
Review: Everything I needed in a compact format at a decent price. - I needed a 61 key keyboard with full size keys and relatively narrow depth to keep on my desk. This one has a nice combination of size, assignable midi controls and efficient use of space. The keys are not weighted, but have a nice crisp feel when playing. It's powered by USB so it needs only one cable. The build quality is excellent. The transport controls integrate seamlessly with the Logic Pro DAW. It's a bargain comparable to keyboard/controllers costing twice as much.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Width of the keys? I'm wondering about the length of the keyboard saying 32" on the gx61 and only an inch less at 31" for the 49.**
A: The length of my Nektar GX61 is 38" overall with a total key width of 33"... Each key is 27/32" according to my tape measure. There's about a 1/8" gap between the white keys.

**Q: Can i use this with garageband for ios out of the box?**
A: yes, if you have the adapter, lightning to midi

**Q: Are the keys hammer action? Do they emulate the tactile feedback of an acoustic piano at all? And are they velocity sensitive?**
A: It is synth action.  I doesn't feel like an acoustic piano at all.  Only 88 key midi controllers with hammer actions feel like pianos.

**Q: I've seen this listed as having synth key action, but here in the q&a someone said the keys are weighted. Which is it? semi-weighted or organ/synth?**
A: It's light synth action. I would not consider this semi-weighted, although the keys appear that way. It's very playable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its a great product
*by H***Y on January 24, 2023*

I got the Nektar back in 2021. If I do say so my self, the product didn't disappoint. I originally got this midi to just substitute for a real piano, so that I could play around and practice. A long with it I ended up getting a bitwig studio licence which was (temporary) nice. I love how the keys aren't heavy or to soft. They are well pressure sensitive, so there's no need to attack the keys too hard or worry about needing to be extra delicate with your strokes. The Octave and transpose buttons are a nice touch to get different sounds as well as the pitch dial. If your actively deciding to compose/record music which I don't necessarily do so much, as I mostly like to just play around. The eight buttons near the top right of the keyboard makes it easy for, a quick access recorder, track player, undo button pause play and rewind key. I assume the shift button is for selecting tracks. The volume knob makes for a nice touch so you don't need to go into your software to manually change how loud your midi volume is. With bitwig I find that this is very compatible and has lots of cool options for how you can make your midi experience great and fun The biggest pro for this keyboard I'd say is, there's no latency issues so far. And it doesn't collect dust. The keys when pressed don't have a delay which is nice it's something I've often found as an issue when using other keyboards. It's nice and sturdy as well. No loose keys and I've been using it for more then two years, maybe not as consistent as every day par say, but definitely a lot, yet I haven't seen any waring down on the keys, still has that nice color that it first came with. They keyboard itself has ports for foot sustaining. So I assume if you where to buy or had an attachment/ foot pedal for sustaining, then you can draw out the keys by using that instead of relying on holding keys and or editing your track in software. Which is very nifty. Lastly there is indeed an on and off switch, which I assume it's probably to use that as to not wear the hardware built on the inside of this lovely device. I give this a nice 5 star review as it hasn't let me down and I haven't personally found myself complaining about a single thing when using this keyboard.
