The Impact LX88 is a unique USB keyboard controller designed for keyboard players looking for extra reach. From the 88 note, semi-weighted velocity sensitive keyboard, 8 velocity sensitive pads to the rubberized fader caps, low-profile and light-weight design, Impact LX88 feels, looks, performs and is supported like a class act. DAW integration with most of the popular DAWs makes it easy to get going and a breeze to set up. With Impact LX88 the hard work is done*, so you can focus on your creativity.
The instrument preset assigns all controls to instrument parameters once an instrument track is selected in a DAW. A typical control layout places amplifier and filter envelopes on the faders and the parameters that have the biggest impact on the sound, on the pots. This means you often have filter cutoff and resonance on pots 1 and 2 for example. A "grab" mode allows for custom control setups.
The included entry-level Studio One Artist DAW software is easy to use and offers unlimited tracks and plug-in instantiations, extensive use of drag-and-drop, in-depth editing features, and twenty native effects.
