Did you hit the monitor button on the track with the instrument, it's in the track header next to the record button..

I think there is something wrong with the way you have set your devices, I use the GX and LX61 but I won't be at my computer until tomorrow (my DAW computer that is). So I cannot see how I've set it up.

Check that you have installed the correct files from the Nektar site for your LX88, it looks like you've got the 49 ones there, are they the same?

Remember that you have to install your LX as both a keyboard and a control surface in preferences. You will have 2 inputs that might be "impact 88" and Midi in 2". One has to go in devices, the other has to go into the control surfaces dialogue box in preferences (Preferences------->Control surfaces) I don't remember which way round they go at the moment but If you get those two muddled up you might get no sound or weird behavior.

When I get to my DAW tomorrow, I will be able to help you out a bit better. Someone else might be able to chime in before then.
