The Novation Impulse 49 Note USB/MIDI controller designed to be the main control centre of your studio and music creation process. The Impulse controller works with your music-making software, acting as a hardware controller for the software’s transport, mixer, instruments and effects.
The Impulse from Novation includes Automap 4, Novation's improved controller software. Automap 4 is now more simple and easier for DAW and plug-in assignment, making the Impulse work in harmony with your chosen software. The Impulse keyboard is fitted with a semi-weighted keybed and aftertouch, which is ultra-responsive and adapts quickly to your playing style.
The Impulse controller also features eight drum pads with multi-coloured LEDs, eight rotary encoders, full transport control, nine assignable buttons and nine faders. The large LCD screen on the Impulse keeps you informed of every operation.
The drum pads on the Impulse can be used to trigger clips in Ableton Live's session view; illuminating yellow if a clip is loaded, green if it is playing and red if it is set to record. They can also work in different modes, such as following the pattern of Impulse's on-board groovebox-style arpeggiator/step sequencer. The USB powered Impulse will be a true asset to any studio environment and perfect for all types of producers and musicians.
The main features of the Impulse include:
This keyboard give me control all parameters my DAW and plugins. Automap it is amazing software? you just need to install this software and you plugins will automatically set on faders and knobs.
Pads very sensitive and can convert into launch pad for Ableton Live. Best keyboard for me!!!
This keyboard is a piece of art. I have never been so satisfied with product of this type. Great keys, great knobs, great pads! Great integration with any DAW you like with Automap.
I strongly recommend this product for any producer who wants durable, reliable, simple in integration controller.
Highly articulate keyboard, excellent mapping ability, fantastic keybed, robust, the list goes on and on. I just wish it was available in different colours because I'm not a fan of the stock colour, but functionally, it's really top notch.
