Thank you for buying the Nektar Impact LX88+ controller keyboard.
The Impact LX+ controllers are available in 25, 49, 61 and 88 note versions and come with setup software for many of the most popular
DAWs. This means that for supported DAWs, the setup work has largely been done and you can focus on expanding your creative horizon
with your new controller. The Nektar DAW support adds functionality that makes the user experience more transparent when you combine
the power of your computer with Nektar Impact LX88+.
In addition, the Impact LX88+ allow for complete user configurable MIDI control so if you prefer to create your own setups, you can do that
too. We hope you will enjoy playing, using and being creative with Impact LX88+ as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
