compatible and “learn-friendly” setups plus they can
of course be overwritten with your own settings. You
for example could set up Impact LX88+ for use with

integration options. Using Impact LX8+”s generic
MIDI controller capabilities, setups can get you quite
far. Here are links to setup examples.
