IMPACT GXP gives you the keys to a great performance! Review: Killer value - Incredible MIDI controller. Probably the best "weighted key" feel in it's class. Keys are just heavy enough to feel realistic. Still wont match a good hammer-action, but just might be as close as you'll get. The Nektarine software is interesting and works well. Some of the keyboard features seem a little useless or gimmicky, like the "repeat" feature, but it has chromatic transposition, excellent DAW integration, and one of the best features on this keyboard is the aftertouch. The aftertouch is very accurate and easy to actuate, even easier than the Fatar keybed on my Keylab MKii, a far more expensive controller. My only nitpicks are the keybed can feel a bit "crinkly" at times. Also sometimes the black keys need to be pressed with slightly more conviction on the softest notes to register. Like if you want a tiny, tiny ghost of a note, its sometimes easy to press the key too softly and feel like you pressed it all the way. And finally the pitch and mod wheels have just a smidge of travel where nothing is registered, before being picked up. None of these are deal-breakers at all, this is a fantastic controller. Probably the best in this price range as well as another $100 up. Review: Gets the D hard! - Excellent buy for the price. So, maybe it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that more expensive rigs have, but for the price you get a solid quality rig that will take care of just about anything you can think of asking for within reason. I currently have mine hooked up to an M4 iPad, using Logic Pro for iPad. The setup is extremely versatile, portable and comes through like a champ in all sorts of situations. It’s rugged as a white rhinoceros. I bought it as a holdover until I can scrape enough $ to get a Fantom 8 EX. I’m very pleased, and starting to wonder if I really need to drop 4 & 1/2 bars down for a Fantom 8 EX. ## Features - Expressive performance MIDI controller keyboard with 88 premium piano style semi-weighted keys + aftertouch, pitch bend and modulation wheels + octave & transpose buttons + sustain & expression pedal sockets + MIDI 5-pin Out. - Nektar DAW integration for most popular DAWs + Nektarine PlugIn Control for Instruments and Effects - Comprehensive MIDI functionailty.

Because it has minimalist DAW controls, it is designed more for playing the keyboard as a piano versus a midi controller. The keys are "almost" full size, are semi-weighted and have after touch. The keyboard has a solid build and weighs almost 20 pounds. Although it is portable, it's not a keyboard that you will want to carry more than necessary. The only negative, and the reason that I did not rate this as a 5 Star review, is the keybed. IT IS STRAIGHT UP NOISY! When playing with any volume, (keyboard or other instruments), the noise in noticeable, but tolerable. However, when playing solo, especially on softer pieces, the keyboard can become an issue because of the "clanky-squeaky" noise of the keybed. However, for an 88 key under $300, it is an EXCELLENT value, and one that I would recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nektar Impact GXP88 88-Key Keyboard Controller - M-Audio SP-2 - Universal Sustain Pedal with Piano Style Action For MIDI Keyboards, Digital Pianos & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/214124326-impact-gxp88-usb-midi-controller-keyboard-with-nektar-daw-integration](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/214124326-impact-gxp88-usb-midi-controller-keyboard-with-nektar-daw-integration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
