These instructions assume you have a compatible Reaper program installed running on either Windows (Vista or higher) or Mac OS X 10.7 or higher.

Make sure Reaper is already installed on your computer. If not, please install Reaper first and open it at least once, before running the installer for Nektar DAW integration software.

Tutorial: How to Use Reaper First off, Reaper is programmed and maintained by a very slim, and lean programming group that is dedicated to Reaper only.

• Click ‘OK’.
• In the ‘Preferences’ window, select ‘MIDI Devices’ from the Audio category.
• Enable ‘Impact LX**’ (Windows) or ‘Impact LX** MIDI1’ (OS X) for your Impact. The mode should be ‘Enable+Control’. The other 2 Impact ports should remain disabled. (See Image 2 for OS X setup and Image 6 for Windows).

Patch Changes
If you find that the [< Patch] and [Patch >] buttons don’t work when controlling a third-party plug-in, it’s likely because the plug-in uses it’s own patch browser. The Patch buttons on the Impact series control the patch navigation functions of the DAW, so you may need to save the plug-ins presets in your DAWs patch format, before you can use the Patch buttons on the Impact controller for patch navigation. You can find more information about saving patches in your DAW, in the documentation for that program.

If you have a portable installation of Reaper, you will need to manually install the control surface files. The files you need can be found on the My Account tab on our website.

Download the file named ‘Reaper_Portable_Installation_Impact’.

Unzip the file and copy/paste the .dll files to the ‘Plugins’ folder within Reaper’s install path (usually C:Program FilesREAPER (x64)).

If you’re experiencing problems please contact one of our support engineers.
