{"product_id":"nektar-impact-gxp-88","title":"Nektar Impact GXP 88","description":"\u003cp\u003eMIDI-based musicians — are you ready to expand your performance horizons? SoundSelect is excited to introduce the Nektar Impact GXP88. Nektar has created a new instrument category here: an advanced 88-note MIDI controller with full-sized, semi-weighted velocity- and aftertouch-sensing keys and everything else you need in a serious studio or stage controller keyboard. The Impact GXP88 ticks all the boxes — proper pitch and mod wheels; dual-footswitch and expression pedal jacks; selectable velocity curves; 14 RGB LED buttons; 5-pin MIDI out; USB bus power; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAftertouch for expressive performances\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every keyboardist needs or wants piano-weighted keys. The Impact GXP88’s newly designed and carefully balanced semi-weighted keyboard action feels great for playing virtual drums, synths, and orchestral instruments as well as piano. And it’s got aftertouch — a rare commodity in this price range — which allows you to lean into your notes for tasty vibrato, filter sweeps, or whatever you have it assigned to. And all this advanced functionality is packed into a sleek, compact, gig-ready 18-pound chassis that looks fantastic in your studio or stage rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced DAW integration that just works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Impact GXP88’s streamlined control panel is based on Nektar’s successful Impact GX series, and in keeping with Nektar’s advanced DAW integration philosophy, it offers extended transport control, track selection, and volume control as well as options to open and close DAW windows and navigate songs. For those who have never used a Nektar controller, the best news is that this is all automatic. You simply download and install the free DAW Integration file for your DAW and \u003cem\u003evoilà\u003c\/em\u003e — everything just works!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAssignable illuminated RGB buttons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s more, GXP88’s user interface also has 14 assignable illuminated RGB buttons for direct MIDI program- and bank-selection. Nektar’s new Key Repeat engine adds an intuitive real-time tool for spicing your music with inspired rhythmic patterns. You can control the Repeat feature directly from the GXP88’s illuminated RGB buttons. Once Repeat mode is engaged, the buttons allow for direct selection of Repeat Rates, Accent, Interval, Swing, and routing aftertouch or modulation to velocity. While Repeat is active, the second encoder becomes a dedicated tempo control, unless you’ve set synchronization to external MIDI clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced control of your plug-in instruments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNektarine is a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in that allows advanced Nektar control of your plug-in instruments from Nektar’s flagship Panorama controllers and the Impact GXP88. Nektarine gives the GXP88 powerful master keyboard functionality, with 16 slots for up to 16 VST or AU instrument plug-ins available for simultaneous use. The GXP88 brings instant patch recall to hybrid or entirely software-based keyboard setups with direct patch control from GXP88’s RBG patch buttons and the ability to define keyboard zones, layers, and splits for all hosted plug-ins. You can save your plug-in settings and combinations in a single Multi-patch for recall at the touch of a button. GXP88 works with any MIDI software on macOS, Windows, and iOS and can also be used as a standard MIDI controller for legacy MIDI gear right out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"webtext-block webtext-switched  webtext-block--text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNektar Impact GXP88 Keyboard Controller Product Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"webtext-block--colcount\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e88-note full-sized keybed with velocity and aftertouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 velocity curves and 3 fixed settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 RGB LED buttons for MIDI, note repeat, and Nektarine features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch Bend and Modulation wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePush-push encoder for note repeat tempo control and Nektarine features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctave up\/down buttons with LED indicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranspose up\/down buttons with LED indicators; assignable to other functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 transport buttons for advanced Nektar DAW integration (MIDI assignable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShift button activate transport buttons secondary level for a total of 14 accessible buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-pin MIDI Output jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch TRS jack for connection of 2 footswitches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch TRS expression pedal jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 MIDI-assignable potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote Repeat button with LED tempo indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote Repeat Function button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNektarine plug-in control software included (downloadable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCubase LE and Retrologue included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNektar DAW Integration for Impact GXP88 currently supports Bitwig, Cubase, Digital Performer, Logic, GarageBand, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, Sonar, Studio One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB port; USB bus powered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9V DC power socket for optional PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sound Select ZA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46529050869926,"sku":"NEK 023","price":6899.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/1646\/1222\/files\/NEKTAR_IMPACT_GXP_88.jpg?v=1764689246","url":"https:\/\/soundselect.co.za\/fr\/products\/nektar-impact-gxp-88","provider":"Sound Select ZA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
