10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 60 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Performance-based keys

The GX Mini lets you play unhindered, with a newly developed velocity-sensitive 25 mini keybed, you can perform with complete expression that will translate to realistic and emotive recordings. To add an extra dimension of expression and dynamic within your playing, GX Mini, MIDI Controller contains three velocity curves to customise the performance of the velocity-sensitive keys to your style.

Flexible bending

Control pitch bend, modulation and other real-time MIDI messages with the included joystick. Across the horizontal axis, you can affect the pitch of your notes and the vertical axis is used to increase or decrease the pre-assigned modulation and foot controller settings. When operating in the vertical axis, you can also assign MIDI CC messages, meaning you can use this for DAW automation when integrated with your system to change the state of effects such as the filter frequency on an EQ or the decay time of your reverb. The joystick offers far more than what is conventionally achievable with a modulation wheel, making it the ideal solution for creative mixing engineers and producers.

Take control of your performance

Give your mouse a break and take control over your performance with everything at your fingertips. Featuring eight dedicated buttons for integration with your DAW, you can control your entire performance onboard without ever needing to touch additional equipment. Where some might see the 25 keys as a limitation, the GX Mini, MIDI Controller has a clever set of features that gives you much more control than traditionally possibly with keyboards of this size. The "Part 2" button lets you momentarily shift the octave up or down, transpose or layer another octave on top, giving you the means to perform your music uninterrupted! Expertly designed, when you hit this button during a performance, GX Mini will keep playing the last notes that were played in the original settings, letting you play low bass notes and shift up an octave to solo over the top. The eight dedicated controller buttons are also MIDI-assignable and with the "Part 2" button, you can switch to another MIDI channel on the fly. When you lift off the "Part 2" button, the Impact GX Mini reverts back to its original settings.

Footswitch compatibility

A highly requested feature, the Impact GX Mini, MIDI Controller features a footswitch connector, allowing you to connect in your favourite sustain pedal for more accurate and fluid performances on your MIDI keyboard. Additionally, as the footswitch output is programmable, you can assign other MIDI CC messages as well, making it able to perform track automation within your DAW.

Seamless DAW integration

With Impact GX Mini, you can control your DAW with a fluid motion to navigate your projects faster than ever before. Using the eight buttons above the joystick, you can take complete control over the transporting of your mouse across your project, covering everything from record, stop, play, loop, rewind, fast forward and an additional eight features when you engage the shift button, all of this without ever reaching for a mouse! Most major DAW's are covered, including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, FL Studio and Studio One.
