Pretty much anything described as just a "MIDI Controller" will only send control information to music software on a computer. **Q: Does a USB cable come with it?** A: Yes, but even if it didn't, it uses a standard USB type B to type A cable. **Q: Will it work with cakewalk sonar home studio?** A: Yes, Impact ill work with the latest versions Sonar Home Studio and Sonar Platinum. More information about Impact DAW integration can be found here: http://www.nektartech.com/impact-lx49-61-plus.html **Q: What is the height of the controller, including the knobs?** A: I just measured mine and it is just a hair over 2.5 inches from the bottom of the controller to the very top of the knobs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits my bill *by on Reviewed in the United States August 22, 2018* I play in a performance band and was looking for a portable full size Midi Keyboard for playing solo parts with various instrument settings. The Nektar IMPACT LX25+ fits the bill with its price point and functionality. As opposed to some negative reviews on the stiffness of the keyboard (I am a piano player), I found that the keys of the LX25+ are more resembling those from a good quality electronic keyboard (except for the lack of weighted action). We can also easily set the velocity curve with a wide range of sensitivity too fit our playing style. I would highly recommend setting this up as a first step., It would make the usage experience a lot more pleasant.The layout of the controls are better than my other Midi controllers / keyboard. We can easily change the octave, transpose to other keys, and changing the Midi channel with a press of a button (once it is properly configured) . Integration with my existing DAWs are smooth as silk. The keyboard is immediately recognized as soon as I plug it in my desktop PC and laptop with the DAWs launched. The Nektar website also has scripts available for integrating with Ableton (to a certain extend). This keyboard also works seamlessly with my Samsung Android App (I use Sound Camp) and external Midi sound module.The unit is a bit large than I expected but it still fits inside my backpack which is important for me to carry around. The 25 keys work fine for me as I am using it mainly for playing solos passages in the band without accompaniment. Overall , a great unit for performing solos live and arranging music with my DAWs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it! Love it! Love it! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 23, 2018* Great little keyboard, but with full-sized keys.I have two other controller keyboards. Both M-Audio, one is 49 keys, one is 61 keys. They're good, but this is great. Actually also might make one a better keyboard player, by forcing you to concentrate on just two octaves, rather than noodling around the length of a longer keyboard. With just two octaves, you can "see" patterns and chords easier. Though you can go up and down to full 88 keys with buttons. But two octaves at once is a good teaching exercise.And since it's smaller, it leaves room for a cat on my keyboard stand. And there's pretty much always a cat there now. (Stand is a board on a towel on a keyboard stand).PROS:--Solid build. Keys are good. Pads have an amazing feel.--Can control your DAW - almost makes a soft synth into a hardware synth.--You can sit across the room and play it, without being a slave to sitting at a computer. Once auto-mapped, you can change pre-set patches on a softsynth. And on some, you can control some of the parameters. Plus, play keys and drum pads. (M-audio is the other keyboard that can do that, but not nearly as easily and elegantly as this one does.)--Easy to map your DAW (download software from manufacturer's site after registering)--Pretty lights that change color on the pad when you play them! Looks trippy in the dark.CONS:--Keys are kinda stiff. Some people might hate it. Probably not good if you have hand pain issues. On the other hand, playing it may actually strengthen your hands.--Keys are physically kinda loud when you press them. Make a dull thud sound.EDIT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF PLAYING IT A LOT: The keyboard dull thud got much less after a little while. And I think the keys are still stiff, but my hands actually got stronger playing it (!), so it's not an issue now. I dig the feel.Someone else here said it takes two buttons to remotely change synth patches but that's not true on Cubase. Just takes one at a time, going up or down the list in your DAW from this keyboard.All in all I'm very happy with it. It's a heck of a lot of controller for 100 bucks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for FL Studio *by on Reviewed in the United States June 24, 2020* I own several MIDI controllers but they were so tedious and time consuming to integrate with FL studio. I bought the Nektar LX 25+ specifically because it's designed to integrate with FL Studio among several other DAWs. Integration was super easy! I have a bigger more expensive keyboard for complex melodies, but this one is way better as a compact MIDI controller for FL.The drum pads and rotary encoders are super easy to assign to any parameter. Also, they feel great! The other controls are all auto-mapped and easily enable toggling & control of the channel rack, the mixer, the plugins and even the effects. You can also switch from pattern to song mode and have full transport controls including the metronome.Don't waste your time with those mini controllers. The tiny keys are really limiting artistically. The Nektar has full size keys which are much better! They aren't weighted, but they are velocity sensitive and work great for rhythm and bassline composition. The unit is super light weight, but it feels pretty solid. I bought it to toss in my bag on the go. It's a little big for a normal backpack but it will fit in any pack made for 25 key keyboards.Overall, I'm blown away at what I got for the price. I haven't even tried the free Bitwig software it comes with. Again, don't expect it to feel like a $1000 keyboard, but IMHO there is no better MIDI controller at this price-point for FL Studio. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nektar Impact LX25 Plus 25-Key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller - co2CREA Hard Travel Case replacement for Nektar Impact LX25+ Premium Midi Controller - SABRENT 4 Port USB 2.0 Data Hub with Individual LED lit Power Switches [Charging NOT Supported] for Mac & PC (HB-UMLS) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/37392570-nektar-impact-lx25-usb-midi-controller-keyboard-with-nektar-daw](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/37392570-nektar-impact-lx25-usb-midi-controller-keyboard-with-nektar-daw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
