Novation Impulse 49 Controller Masterkeyboard

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.
