Fade In Smart Tool for Pro Tools: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to take your music production to the next level with the Impact LX controller? Look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through the process of configuring your Impact LX to work seamlessly with Pro Tools using the Fade In Smart Tool.

What's Involved in the Configuration Process?

To get started, you'll need to transmit a sysex update to your Impact LX. This will not only program the transport buttons but also reprogram the 5 internal presets on your controller. The loop button has no function when pressed by itself, but it provides additional options and gives access to various functions.

Configuring the Transport Buttons

The Impact LX's transport buttons perform a range of functions, including:

* Button: This button allows you to navigate through tracks, scenes, and regions in Pro Tools.

Once your Impact LX is configured correctly, you should see its MIDI ports set up as shown in Image 4. To configure these settings, follow these steps:

1. Open the Peripherals menu in Pro Tools.

2. Select the 'MIDI Controllers' tab.

3. Choose 'Port 1' as the destination (Image 1).

Transmitting the Sysex Update

To transmit the sysex update to your Impact LX controller, you'll need a sysex tool. We recommend using Sysex Librarian for this process.

Here's how it's done:

1. Download and unzip the 'ImpactLX_PT_templatev1.0.syx' file.

2. Open Sysex Librarian and locate the 'ImpactLX_PT_templatev1.0.syx' file.

3. Transmit the sysex file to your Impact LX controller.

Important Notes

* The sysex templates only work in Pro Tools 8.0 and above.

* Make sure you have the correct software installed on your computer before attempting the configuration process.

With these steps, you'll be well on your way to using your Impact LX with Pro Tools. Remember to refer back to this article if you encounter any issues during the configuration process. Happy producing!
