Impact LX49+ : Decent low cost midi keyboard

5 years ago

To start with, the 2x4 drum pads are very responsive which is great when writing drum beats. Unfortunately it's only 8 pads, 16 pads would have been great to work with drum machine VSTs, but obviously there isn't much space for 4x4 pad section there.

Keys are ok, not the best feel, but they are quite acceptable for its price.

The control buttons, faders and knobs placed very nicely, I like when the faders are on the left and the transport buttons are on the right side.

It is obviously made of cheap plastic but it is honestly good enough if your budget is not too high, I have been using it at home for a year and it does what it supposed to.
