Does everything I need it to, very capably

NonFunHarm 12.05.2018

Nektar wasn't a brand I was aware of until researching controllers, but I was impressed by the feature set, reviews, and price point of the LX61+. I've been very impressed and recommended it to my cousin - he's bought one and is also pleased.

The keys respond just as I'd expect a synth-type action to do - that may not be to everyone's taste, but it's just a question of what you're looking for.
I don't find the drum pads to be as expressive and responsive as I'd like them to be, so if that's the primary function for you I'd probably look elsewhere. They're fine, just not great (with the caveat that I'm not the world's best pad-drummer).

Once I'd realised that the driver (which comes with the unit) has to be installed for full integration, the LX61+ plays very well with Cubase, and the pots are easily assigned and responsive.

In short, this has been a great success - does exactly what I needed a controller to do, and does it reliably and competently. Highly recommend.

A perfect upgrade from the 20 key I used to play.

Casually Name Dropping Kafka 19.04.2020

This Keyboard is everything I needed in a keyboard. Plenty of keys and pads to get what I needed. There's Plenty of features that I honestly don't know how to use yet, but the easy playability and layout will aide me once I get around to reading the manual.

I admittedly have little experience or knowledge in MIDI Keyboards so maybe this statement is from a place of ignorance but I don't see myself "Upgrading" from this Keyboard anytime soon.

I knew what I will get

bogdan40 27.02.2020

I give it this feedback in regard with the overall playability. Don't get me wrong, I knew what I will get for the money.

The worst thing, are the keys - you don't have any feedback, are very light and if you force it sideways, it can be overlapped with another key.

If you want to learn to play piano/keys, don't buy it. I'm using it for pads (nothing more), in tandem with another piano so it's for this, is ok.

The signal delay is acceptable, there is no lag. The sensibility of the key is on 5 or 8 levels (not from the books, from what I've experienced), so not that great.

Overall, is cheap instrument, don't expect anything special.

A wonderful inexpensive midi controller

JMPT 12.04.2021

the LX61+ feels great to operate. Its many features are a blessing for the price and the manual is written plain and simple and is easy to understands. It interfaces without issues with Win10, MacOS and iOS and has not given me any problems.

The handling of the keys is absolutely good and I did not have the feeling that there was any difference in the individual keys, neither in touch nor sensitivity.

The overall feel of the device is obviously not premium and while setting it up or carrying it around it even feels a bit flimsy. Which is not a problem in the end as it feels absolutely good while playing it.

For the price it seems there is no better option.

I now click less

Willo II 02.09.2022

I was very pleased with the build quality of this keyboard. It's is a very solid and sturdy machine. I do not find the keys to noisy as some reviewers claim. The DAW integration must be the best out there. I use FL Studio and I didn't have to change the default presets except for controlling 3rd party plugins.
However I noticed that one key is not as sensitive as the others. I takes more energy for it to register and is thus not velocity sensitive. I dexided this was too minor as it doesn't affect my overall experience.

Very simple for starters

jorgemosquerad 29.12.2020

If your just getting into the world of digital music and you need a controller, this I recommend to start with. Once you get used to its usage you find out what those things are capable of. Or, if you jus need some keys for background sounds or synths. If your a pro, this will go short.

Not a hardcore MIDI controller user, but I've used it with Pro Tools for a while and had no problems at all. The keyboard and pads feel nice. The faders seem a little bit cheap and I was not using them very much but when I did, I didn't have any issues with them. It's quite light and compact for its number of keys and other features. Very nice keyboard.

It's ok

george999 21.01.2024

For the price, it's ok. But it's a bit hard to program the keyboard. It also doesn't support midi expression pedals, which is a pity. Keys feel quite cheap compared to other models. But it does what it's supposed to do, and has a nice set of faders, knobs and pads.

Integrates perfectly

Laird Mav 01.01.2021

My second midi controller and this is brilliant. It is nice and light but sturdy with all moving parts nice to the touch. But more importantly it integrates well with my DAW Studio 1 perfectly. Once you've downloaded the respective driver and restarted your DAW your good to go, drum/scene pads, mixer slider controls, transport controls and vST controls all run smoothly. Nice feel on the keys too, highly recommended.
