These are factors that are often lacking in more affordable keyboards. The keys feel quite good and the mechanical noise is quite low. It's surprisingly light for all the features packed into it. It would've made sense for them to set up automatic integration with these 2 very popular DAWs. It still works with these platforms but you'll have to do a bit of manual mapping to get them to play nice together. It maps natively with most major DAWs too.Ĭonspicuously lacking though is right-out-the-box integration for Ableton and Protools. Which is quite special for a controller with all the bells and whistles of a full-featured DAW controller. The LX88+ has so far impressed me with its comparatively low price. You can take this keyboard controller centerpiece wherever you go - if need be. You just might be able to ditch your dedicated pad controller!Īll this weighing in at only 18 pounds, it's light enough to carry around fairly easily. This feature makes it a multi-instrumentalist's dream. They serve as great percussion and drum pads with curve options, note learn and 4 savable pad bank presets. This includes the 8 LED illuminated multi-color velocity-sensitive pads. It sports a plethora of mappable potentiometers, faders, and buttons.

This beast of a controller will never leave you lacking control. This upgraded version has standardized assignments for 100 popular VSTi plugins. It provides deep DAW control including control over your virtual instruments.

The LX88+ may be light in terms of its weight and price, but it's a heavyweight in terms of its DAW controller functionality. Mechanical noise quite low for semi-weighted keys.

Excellent value for an 88-key controller with this many controls and pads.Full-featured DAW controller while staying lightweight.
