Getting Started
Connection and Power
The Impact LX25 is USB Class compliant. This means there is no driver to install to get the keyboard set up with your
computer. Impact LX25 uses the built-in USB MIDI driver which is already part of your operating system on Windows and
OS X.
This makes the first steps simple:
Locate the included USB cable and plug one end in to your computer and the other in to your Impact LX25
If you want to connect a foot switch to control sustain, plug it in to the 1/4” jack socket on the back of the keyboard
Set the power switch on the back of the unit to On
Your computer will now spend a few moments identifying the Impact LX25 and subsequently you will be able to set it up for
your DAW.
Nektar DAW Integration
If your DAW is supported with Nektar DAW integration software, locate the “Impact LX DAW Integration” folder and run the
installer you will find in that directory.
In the same directory there is a “Documentation” folder. Open it and locate the PDF file that’s applicable to your DAW. Follow
the instructions in the PDF for any additional setup as well as learn how the integration works.
If you are not able to find installation files for your DAW, you may want to check if it has been added later to the support list.
