14 Nektar Impact LX49+ & LX61+ User Guide www.nektartech.com
The Setup menu gives access to additional functions such as control assign, load, save, selecting velocity curves and more. To enter the
menu, press the [Shift]+[Patch>] (Setup) buttons. This will mute the MIDI output of the keyboard and instead the keyboard now is used to
select menus.
When the Setup menu is active, the display will show {S.E.t.} with the 3 dots blinking for as long as the menu is active.
The chart below provides an overview of menus assigned to each key and what display abbreviations you see in the Impact LX+ display (in
parentheses), when a key is pressed.
Menu keys are the same for both Impact LX49+ and LX61+ but value entry using the keyboard is one octave higher on LX61+. Refer to the
screen printing on the unit to see which keys to press, to enter values.
The functions are separated in two groups. The first group spanning C1-G1 covers control assignments and behavior, including Save and
Load of the 5 presets and 4 pad maps. When you press the keys in this group you first see an abbreviation showing the function. This me-
ans you can press keys until you find exactly the menu you want without worrying about controls changing assignments. Since this group
of functions are the ones you most likely will use more regularly this makes the menus easy to find.
The second group spanning C2-A2 covers global and setup functions. Most of the second group functions will show you their current
status when you press a key.
On the following page we cover how each of these menus work. Note the documentation assumes you have an understanding of MIDI
including how it works and behaves. If you are not familiar with MIDI, we recommend you study MIDI before making control assignment
changes to your keyboard. A good place to start is the documentation of the software you want to control or the MIDI Manufacturers
