Haven't tried to map anything yet, but I'm glad you have this here. It looks like it will be fun and I'll be able to do this with ease very soon. Great tutorial.
Thank you very much. So long I have been searching for this type of video. Excellent. I am using LX 61+ with Studio One. When I connect, above the page button the lights for instruments and mixture is not on. Due to this unable to open the instruments and mixture by using the button in LX61+. How to fox it. Plz guide me. Could you provide the ssme video with Studio one.
Hey, Could you help me? I followed this and I have the sounds I want However I am still hearing a Piano note every time I hit the pads. I have been going through this manual and I can't figure it out and I have a concert coming up next week.
Thank you soooo much i just bought yesterday this midi keyboard Question can you turn of the sensitifity and play whit out sensi?Greetzzz from holland victory of the light❤❤❤❤❤
Hi John. I'm writing from Chile, and I like so much your videos. I have the Nektar Impact 88+ like yours, but I loose muy serial number. I try many times to download the driver to use in Cubase 12 but without the serial number it's impossible to download. My question for you is if I can mapping the buttons to play, stop, etc, and mapping de faders and knobs to control the parameters in my Vst? I really apriciate if you can help me.
I was looking a way to set the pitch wheel to a half tone instead of the default whole tone. But I can't find it even in the manual. It seems you can´t change it
Hello! That’s because you have it in low power mode. You need to go into the setup mode and hit low power mode, I think it’s G#2 on the keyboard then turn it on by pressing the + or - key, I don’t remember which note that’s on, and then press enter which is C6 I believe. It should then make your pads light up! Hope this helps!
Hi thank you for this helpful video. I am still having trouble saving the pad mapping to the pads. I am trying to play the piano sound in the GarageBand library while I have drums presaved on the pad mapping but the pad mapping will not stay so when I go to play the piano on the keyboard the pads also play the piano instead of playing the resaved drums, do you know how I can save the drums while playing the piano? Thank you so much for your help and savviness.
Hi Ava, I don’t think this MIDI keyboard can do that. The pad map will only save the notes you are playing, but it won’t remember the sound you are using. Therefore, you really can only play one sound at a time, either drums on the pad, or keyboard on the keys. I hope this helps!
Johnmunstudios okay thank you for clarifying. I’m wondering, how would I do a live performance type of thing then if I wanted to have piano and drums? Or is this not really possible with this product and it’s more for creating different beats and progressions that are engineered on top of one another in production. Do you have any recs for products that are made more for performance? Thank you so much
hi I was just wondering, are you able to use this keyboard by itself without a computer device just like an electric keyboard? or must it be plugged in through MIDI to make noise.
Hello, This is only a MIDI keyboard. You need a computer to generate sounds, here is a review on the keyboard where I talk about it. Nektar Impact LX88+ Review: ua-cam.com/video/Lo4uzfIA_5o/v-deo.html
See this is great but how do I map my keys? I use fl studio and when I play anything it’s just whatever sound I’m selected on just at different pitches, I can’t get different keys to play different instruments and pads to play diff sounds
hi nice explained, do you know how to get ther first split zone also octave higher cause manual says only about hole keysboard, but not about splitted zone octave up or down.
This keyboard is very basic, I don’t think you’ll be able to split the keys and split the octaves. I have not used that function very often. If the manual says you can’t then I assume it’s not able to split octaves.
@@Johnmunstudios i know a bit more now about this keyboard and there are 3 splits zones one can use and wit the transpose 2 buttons you can set octave 2x higher or lower, so that works. i am ad the moment communicating with nektar for how to use with live and till now i can use the sliders and knobs to control instruments and tracksliders without mapping them in live. so looks not so basic to me.
Thank you for the video. I linked this midi to my main piano. How can i make the midi play a different instrument and the man piano player a different one. Say i want a piano sound on the midi and maybe a saxophone sound on the main. How can i do that.
Debes hacerlo en Combi (hablo de korg) donde en el canal 1 dejas el instrumento que quieres tocar en el master (korg) y en el 2do canal pones el instrumento para el host (nektar) entonces en la configuracion del 2do canal cambias a midi 2 y el nektar lo pones en midi 2, asi lograras hacer sonar los 2 instrumentos desde 1 fuente, saludos
Hi! That sound like it could be your pads are damaged. Try giving it a factory reset, With the keyboard off: Hold Octave Up + Octave Down, while holding it down turn it on and hold it for 2-5 sec longer then let go. The screen should prompt a message that it was completed. I hope this helps!
That was very helpful. Thanks. I had read the manual but this demo was so much better.
You’re very welcome! Glad I could help!
very helpful, thank you very much for this.
Still looking at this video every 3-4 months. I think I'll download it just in case 🤣(I'll still watch it here while it's online!). Love you man!
It will be here forever!!!! ♾️
Really helpfull videos, i just got this midi controller today and this really helps me out a lot, thanks!!
Glad I could help!

My pleasure! Good luck! 🙏🏽💪🏽
I have the 25 key midi board and it would be nice if you could release a video of that one- I need obstruction
really clear, thank you!
I was looking everywhere why it wasn't saving my drum pad maps. Thank you so much! It's really convoluted and the manual doesn't explain it well.
Glad I could help!
Really cool & helpfull video. Thanks
Thank You

is there a way to change the midi channel on the pad so it's also not triggering the same notes as the keybed?
Hi Carl,
Unfortunately no, one MIDI channel for the entire keyboard and pads.
bro is it possible to map the individual instrument sounds
hi nice explained, do you know how to get ther first split zone also octave higher cause manual says only about hole keysboard, but not about splitted zone octave up or down.

You’re welcome! 🙏🏽 unfortunately I wouldn’t know because I don’t have a rig for that. I’ve only used this keyboard on a computer rig!!
Good luck! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Johnmunstudios ok. Thank for the reply. Your video is helpful. Please share more tips.

Nice demo Johnmun. How do you compensate for expression since there is no slot for an expression pedal.

Check out this video, I show how I map expression and modulation to my faders instead of an expression pedal.

Is nektar's pad cannot be push? Or maybe mine was damaged? Please help me anyone who knows 🙏
