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 GarageBand *
