Great Features
The Impact GX Mini has all the features you'd expect from a great MIDI controller, including 25 velocity-sensitive mini keys, a joystick for pitch bend and modulation control, a footswitch connector - and even Nektar DAW integration for most popular DAWs. Explore the unique 'Part 2' feature for momentary transpose, note layering and other creative performance options . Capture your ideas no matter where inspiration strikes!

Play, Perform, Discover
Great to play: Impact GX MINI features our newly developed velocity-sensitive mini-keybed. Despite the keys’ minuscule dimensions they are expressive to play with a defined and firm feel. A choice of three velocity curves allows you to adjust the keyboard response to your playing style.
Modulation Controls: GX MINI sports a Joystick for pitch bend and modulation control as well as a footswitch connector for adding a sustain pedal. What's more, the joystick upwards/downwards axes and footswitch are MIDI-assignable - so you can control other parameters, too. Play in ways not even possible on full-sized keyboards: Simply press one of the dedicated "Part 2” buttons for momentary note transpose, layering or MIDI channel switching. A fun performance feature! Part 2 is assignable to Octave, MIDI Channel, Transpose, Layer or a combination of these features.

Nektar DAW Integration
Control your DAW - Of course, the GX Mini works with any MIDI music software right out of the box. But Nektar controllers can do more if you install the included NEKTAR DAW Integration software. Take advantage of instant access to up to 21 DAW functions from GX Mini: Control extended DAW transport functions (including locators), navigate and select tracks, open DAW windows and more.
