Default Nektar Impact GX61 control surface - help! :)

Hi

I'm trying to add a Nektar Impact GX61 keyboard as a control surface. The keyboard works fine for simple MIDI input, and I've installed the Nektar drivers, but REAPER simply doesn't see it as an available control surface. Any hints/suggestions welcome!

This is using REAPER 5.80 64-bit portable install on Windows 8.1 Pro x64.

FYI I *don't* see any Nektar software showing as installed in the Windows control panel... not sure if I should!

Thanks!

aww bro, sorry dude. The portable install has like 1 extra step to it. And I forget where I finally found it at, but I will see if I can find it again. It fixed the problem for me. Bummer they dont do a install tutorial for portable.

Right ON! Good to here bro. I knew there must be a reason I book marked that page. I think I Will bookmark the link you have, since it goes exactly to the post that works.
There is something different about the portable install I think. Glad we were able to do find it.
