Its 88 semi-weighted full-size keys with&nbsp;<strong>velocity and aftertouch</strong>&nbsp;deliver a nice, firm touch and great playability.</p> <p>Choose from&nbsp;<strong>5 different velocity curves</strong>&nbsp;to tailor Impact GXP&rsquo;s keyboard sensitivity to your personal needs. The curves cover a wide dynamic range from soft to hard touch. The default curve &ldquo;normal&rdquo; is optimized to deliver good control across the whole velocity range right out of the box. In addition,&nbsp;<strong>3 fixed levels</strong>&nbsp;let you send fixed velocity values across the whole keyboard if needed.</p> <div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_5"> <div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et_pb_column_9 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"> <h2><strong>DIRECT ACCESS:&nbsp;THE CONTROLS YOU NEED&nbsp;</strong></h2> <p>The streamlined no-fuss control panel is based on the successful Nektar Impact GX-series, enabling advanced DAW integration with extended transport control, track selection and volume control as well as options to open/close DAW windows and navigate songs.

In addition, any&nbsp;of the 28 assignable MIDI buttons, the modulation wheel, keyboard aftertouch, foot switches and of course the big control knob, can be assigned to send out MIDI cc messages. The settings are stored over power cycling.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_6"> <div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_3 et_pb_column_10 et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough"> <div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light"> <div class="et_pb_text_inner"> <h2><strong>GREAT CONNECTIVITY:<br />MIDI, PEDALS, POWER</strong></h2> <p>The GXP88 gives keyboard players all the right expression options needed for live and studio work.
