Even our tiny mini controller SE25 has essential control for 12 DAWs right out of the box. Starting from the Impact GX series, extended transport control and project navigation deliver even more tools for hands-on control. The Impact LX+ series adds a DAW mixer mode and powerful plugin instrument control as well as LED drum pads with pad-learn for a complete remote control experience.

For players who need extra reach, the 88-key Impact LX88+ and Impact GXP88 provide a great playing experience with their semi-weighted action. What’s more, the Impact GXP range is especially made for performers and combines the streamlined GX-series’ user interface with performance features and direct patch access features.

The most complete DAW and plugin control experience is delivered by the MIDI controller keyboards of the Nektar Panorama P- and T-series: Sleek design, LCD displays for full parameter feedback, fader bank, drum pads and loads of knobs for plugin control. The Panorama P-series established a new standard with its full feature set, including a motor fader. Panorama T now follows suit, offering a more compact enclosure and Nektarine support for extensive VST/AU plugin instrument control in any DAW with VST/AU plugin support.

Nektarine also turns our AURA Beat Composer pad controller into an open-ended and powerful beat creation instrument, that allows the creation of kits from multiple plugins for unlimited sonic possibilites. This includes Nektar DAW Integration and deep plugin control in any DAW using Nektarine.

WHAT IS THE BEST MIDI CONTROLLER?

This isn’t easy to answer, as it depends on your needs and expectations: Are you a player, a producer – beginner or pro?  We have created a page that is trying to answer some of the basics: What is the best MIDI Controller?

Also, if you own a supported DAW, we have started to create blog articles that are structured by model like this page and give you an overview of each model’s Nektar DAW control features for your DAW. Hopefully, this makes it a bit easier to pick the MIDI controller, that’s right for you! We have created pages for Steinberg Cubase, Apple Logic PRO X and Presonus Studio One. More to follow!
