Logic Setup and Configuration
The Impact LX Logic Integration has been verified with Logic 8, 9 and X. The following instructions assumes you have one of
these programs installed running OS X 10.6 or higher.
Setup
Here are the steps you need to go through to get Logic up and running with your Impact LX:
Locate the “Impact iX DAW Integration” folder on the included DVD.
Alternatively, download the Apple zip file from “My Downloads” on
www.nektartech.com after registering your product
Run the “Impact_Apple_Support” installer and follow the on-screen
instructions
Plug-in your Impact iX and make sure it’s switched on (if you didn’t
do so already)
Press the [Setup] button on your Impact LX and press the A2 key on
the keyboard (from the E key with screen printing “Patch” above,
count 5 keys up).
On the numerical keys on the keyboard, press “1”
Press [Enter] (top C) to accept. This will set the USB ports for use
with Logic*
Launch Logic
Create a new Project
Create an Audio or Instrument track
In Logic the Control Surface Setup window will appear to indicate
that Logic has detected a new control surface. You can close this
window
That’s it, setup is now complete.
*You may have to complete this step again if you are using Nektar
supported DAWs other than GarageBand with your Impact iX.
