Anyone have experience with Nektar impact GX and LX series keyboard?

I am considering getting one of this. They have mapping for sonar and other major DAWs.

Thanks for sharing. Rimshot. I have Splat and Reason 8. So this looks interesting to me.

 
If it matters, the LX 88 has a midi out connection whereas the other two don't.
Might be a safeguard against future obsolescence.
 
(Currently planning on acquiring the LX88 as a Christmas gift to myself come December)

Hi Rimshot? How long have you own the LX49? I heard there are older and newer version. Do you know of any difference between them?

I have had mine since last December. I don't know if it is the newer or older.

So how can I use the transport buttons (play, stop, record, <<, >>, repeat, click, S1, S2, S3, etc......) inside the latest SONAR platinum? it seems like only support SONAR X2 but not the new one.......... 

but my GX61 can't control its playback and recording, does anything I still have to setup by my own?

As azslow3 said, you need to register the keyboard on the Nektar website.
 
Once you log in, there will be a 'my downloads' section at the top of the website.
 
Then you select the OS & it will show you all of downloads for the controller you've registered that lists all the DAW's it supports.
 
My LX49+ works very well in SonarPlat although there seems to be a minor issue with the integration, unless its PEBKAC at my end.
 
Using the 'Inst' button on the keyboard to open a soft synths' window will open it, but it seems to be the synth that's highlighted in the synth rack, not necessarily the one on the currently selected track.
 
I was only playing around with both when it did this so will need to do some more testing to see if it's user error on my part, or a bug.

 
I finally got around to dragging my still in the box LX88+ out from under the couch where Santa left it.
 
I'm not much of a pianist but, up until last spring, have always kept my childhood 60's era console upright to noodle on every once in a while.  So I'm only used to real wood pianos.  This latest keyboard is to replace the piano and acquire a comprehensive midi controller.
 
I realize that the LX88+ does not intend to emulate a real piano keyboard, but I find it quite a bit different from what I'm used to.  I find it very difficult to control the volume of my notes.  On a real piano I have no problems, but suddenly some notes are hardly heard and other too loud.  I've played a bit with the velocity curves and have also noticed that response varies between software pianos (DSF Vol.1 Yamaha Grand for DimPro doesn't sound anything like a Grand to me, and is kind of dead, but I haven't explored the different flavours yet).  The included TruePianos is quite a bit better.
 
Has anyone else experienced this lack of control when going from a real piano to a synthetic semi-weighted keyboard ?  Is it something one gets used to quickly ?
 

Most MIDI keyboards do not attempt to imitate real piano. Some have Hammer mechanic which is such imitation, but normally "lightweight". May be the only exception is Kawai VPC, but the price is the weight (30kg vs 10-12ks for most other MIDI boards with hammers).
