This is a great review on the controller and it’s functions. I wish however, it was filmed from the players’ visual perspective, with close ups of the faders, fader buttons and pads. Being new to midi and a controller keyboard, the learning curve is a bit daunting, and the owners’ guide is a bit confusing. I own the LX 61, and it seems very functional, if I just knew the programming process. However, thanks for a great review.

Man I've got to tell you, I watched this tutorial in march 2020 when quarantine first hit and it was so good I bought the lx25+. I'm a professional DJ and I create remixes/mixes in Logic Pro X so I really only cared for the pads/keys and not the rest of control features since I don't really create my own songs, just remixes of already made songs - those two things were all I really needed. After I got the lx25+, I started to mess around with it and one thing led to another and I was actually producing my own songs too! I came back to watch this video today because I've decided I need to learn to play piano/guitar to create my own melodies and wanted to know how the bigger lx keyboard would work. Just wanted to say I will be buying the lx61+ now because of this tutorial. thanks man. have a good Sunday!

Thanks a lot John! This helped so much. I love my Nektar controller because it does integrate with Logic so well. I used an Axiom pro 61 before but could not get it to totally stay connected to Logic after manually learning all faders. Too much of a headache but this is on point! 👌🏾

I got the Nektar Impact LX88+ but no matter how loud I turn on my volume the sound is soft (my computer volume is on the loudest and so is the audio track, but when I play the keyboard the sound comes out to be soft). Is there a way where I can fix this problem where it can be louder?

@@HomieLos1234 For Logic, have in mind the Komplete Kontrol A61 too. It's $259 and it's awesome for the price range. I've had a couple of oxygens in the past , currently using the Impact LX 88+ and my bet is on the Nektar. I also bought the A25 Komplete Kontrol and it blew my mind, the keys are semi-weighted, it integrates easily with Logic Pro 10.4 especially if you use Kontakt libraries. The LX 88+ is more capable tho, more options faders, pads..etc.
