MMC Transport Control
The Nektar DAW Integration software automatically maps transport and navigation buttons to their respective functions in supported
DAWs. If your DAW is not supported directly, you may still be able to control your DAW’s transport controls using MIDI Machine Control.
For Pro Tools, you can use the dedicated setup below.
Here is how you set up the Impact LX Mini keyboard to send MIDI Machine Control messages:
• Press [Shift]+[Internal] to activate Setup mode. The [Internal] button blinks while Setup is active.
• Press A2 ‘USB Port Mode’ on the keyboard.
• Press G#1 to select the numerical value 3.
• Press [Enter] (C3) to accept the change and exit Setup.
• Make sure your DAW is set up to receive MMC from Impact LX Mini’s USB MIDI port 2.
