Global Functions and Options

Unlike the Control Assign functions, Global functions can be accessed regardless of what preset has been selected.

And just to recap:

Pressing the [Setup] button will activate the Setup menu and the display will show {S.E.t.} with the 3 dots blinking for as

long as the menu is active. The following assumes the Setup menu is active.

Global MIDI Channel (C4)

The Impact LX25 keyboard always transmit on the Global MIDI Channel but this setting also affect any control or pad that is

not assigned to a specific MIDI channel (i.e. 1-16). Earlier we learned how the Octave and Transpose buttons can be set up to

change the Global MIDI Channel but here is another option:

 Press the C4 key on your keyboard to select Global MIDI Channel. The display show the current value {001-016}

 Press [Enter] (last C key on your keyboard) to confirm menu selection

 Change the value in decrements/increments using the keys with the -/+ symbols screened above (C3/C#3). The value

assignment is instant so if you exit the Setup menu after making changes, those changes remain active

 You can also enter a specific value (1-16) using the white number keys spanning G3–B4. Press Enter (C5) to accept the

change

Keyboard Velocity Curves (C#4)

There are 4 different keyboard velocity curves and 3 fixed velocity levels to choose between, depending on how sensitive and

the change
