Impact LX25+ : One of the best in its price range

4 years ago

I was looking for a compact, two-octave bus-powered MIDI keyboard with velocity layers and DAW controls. This one ticks all the boxes for me and has impressive build quality, especially considering its price range.

Pros:

+ LX25+ perfectly integrates with all major DAWs, in my case it's Reaper. Now I can control the most important DAW options (play, record, switching tracks etc.) using LX25+ dedicated knobs, which makes arranging and mixing incredibly fast and intuitive. It also has a very good fader, so I can do volume automation with ease.

+ Build quality of LX25+ is awesome for this price range. All knobs and controls are quite sturdy.

+ Full-sized keyboard.

Cons

- Keys themselves could've been better quality, but it's not a big deal. Overall they are quite responsive and with velocity layers.

All in all, I think it's one of the best two-octave MIDI keyboards out there. It made my recording, arranging and mixing a lot easier and more fun.
