www.nektartech.com Nektar Impact LX49+ & LX61+ User Guide 5
Getting Started
Connection and Power
The Impact LX+ is USB Class compliant. This means there is no driver to install to get the keyboard set up with your computer. Impact LX+
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 LX+
•
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 LX+ and subsequently you will be able to set it up for your DAW.
