Affordable, Minimal and Good quality

The media could not be loaded. After using those bulky Roland and Casio keyboards i decided to buy a minimal looking keyboard that just fits my needs and budget. So I decided to buy a Midi keyboard after doing a bit of research.Here's what's i found after buying it->I love it's minimal looks for sure.The texture of the keys is amazing. It makes a little clicky clacky sound on pressing keys but i don't mind it.At this price range, I think it's well under my needs.At first, what i did was to turn off velocity keys by SETUP->VELOCITY CURVES-> PRESS 6--> ENTER. Make sure to adjust velocity According to the manual.Installing Bitwig DAW and activating it was easy.

Not just for beginners, this is also for professionals

A few years ago, I went to shop and purchased a NEKTAR IMPACT LX 49. After using it for two years, dust got accumulated and the pitch bend started malfunctioning. Since I was out of warranty, I did not contact Nektar support and purchased from amazon the NEKTAR IMPACT GX61 Midi. Before I thought of selling the old keyboard, I contacted the Nektar support just like that to ask how can I fix it. As I was unable to find any midi repair shops in my city. To my susprise, nektar support responded, and inspite of me being outside warranty period, they were kind and sent me a replacement pitch bend wheels to my home address, for absolutely free of cost and gave me instructions on how to fix it. I did it and it worked like charm. Now I have two keyboards. :( I was both happy and sad. Happy because Nektar support was very helpful. Electronics are never perfect. We get issues. But the service must be good. And Nektar service is really good. Sad because, I did not contact them before and purchased a new keyboard. But the new keyboard is fine too, I am using both actually. One as extended Midi for much higher nodes.So I am a professional music director working for actual feature films, ad's, short films, documentaries. And this midi is perfect for it. It will easly work way better and the keys are semi weighted and really soft. They are responsive enough and the touch sensitivity works great. The functions on the keyboard work great too. When you lay hands on the keyboard, you feel good. The plastic used is perfect too. So GO FOR IT ! DONT THINK ! :)I composed a lot of music with this. Works great !

A StrAIght forward, superb utility, robust midi keyboard

Hey everyone, I've been using this keyboard for over an year now, must say this a durable and robust 61 key controller.Some good things about this keyboard are:1. An awesome keyboard for computer music setup. Nektar GX61 has very few function buttons for midi parameter assignments but trust me when I say that the functions to which these keys get auto assigned to (ofcourse that can be customised), are the most used functions in a DAW, like opening the instrument interface or patch changing, transport controls, etc.2. This keyboard is extremely portable and light weight but with robust build quality.3. The price is very affordable but the build quality is not cheap at all.4. I like the simple, straight forward design of this keyboard. Looks very professional with its 'no-round' edges and its control panel on its left (instead of at the top) looks like Doepfer midi keyboard designs :-)5. The keybed is nice, the action feels a bit springy :-) its velocity sensitive but not semi-weighted.... The keys are responsive.Now, the only feature suggestion/advice for this keyboard is1. The keybed, even after one year of use, works well, but makes slight key noises now. But thats not at all causes distraction as they are slightly noisy. But considering the price range, its definitely the best option available.So overall this is a good keyboard for those who wants to play and record melody lines or chord in their DAW..... Definitely recommend this keyboard.

This is just a midi keyboard and keys are just real and sensitivity is just fine for the price point

Bought this toy for 8800 here on Amazon and this absolutely worth for the money i spent. This is just a midi keyboard and keys are just real and sensitivity is just fine for the price point. I don't look for any fancy features like mixer controls/ pad controls as i got an ableton push to serve that purposes. The controls are fine and yeah keys are working fine with ableton, however, had to map the controls of the button manually for my choice controls. So if you are planning to buy this keyboard to work with ableton, it might not be a perfect choice although you can map the buttons.The body is plastic and may feel cheap like a toy but when it's being connected up, BOOM!!! and it serves my workflow really well. You cannot just handle it rough as the body is not that quality built but what better quality can be expected at this price point.For me spending 40k on midi keyboard is something crazy. All i needed was playable keys and this toy perfectly suits my needs, If you got similar workflow go for this toy and it will never disappoint you.

Pitchwheel malfunction

I have been user of Nektar GX and LX series for past 7 years now.I own LX61+ and GX61.Both of them are good keyboards with most of the necessary features in a budget price.However, in both of these cases, I have had issues with the pitchwheel, where it started malfunctioning and setting incorrect values in my DAW.The team keeps on saying that it could be due to dust, but that makes no sense to me as my m-Audio KS 61 has worked perfectly fine.Getting this fixed is not easy as I have to ship my keyboard to their repair center.So, be mindful of this issue if you're making a purchase.Apart from that, a good product overall.
