Product Detail
The Novation Impulse 61 is an ultra - responsive and expressive MIDI keyboard controller. It's a great choice for music lovers. With its fully assignable controls, it integrates smoothly with major music software like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools. The unique High Rate Scan (HRS) technology scans the keyboard 10,000 times per second, capturing every detail of your performance. You can choose from 61, 49, or 25 - key versions. The 25 - key version sacrifices faders for portability. Use the smooth - action knobs, 45mm faders, buttons, and custom LCD screen to mix and shape your sound. The pressure - sensitive drum pads let you play drums in real - time, loop samples, and design arpeggios. In Ableton Live, they act as multicoloured clip launchers. Key features include a velocity - sensitive piano - style keyboard, multi - colour drum pads, endless encoders, sliders, transport controls, pitch bend and modulation wheels, and more. It's compatible with Ableton Live Lite 9 and other major software. It's USB bus - powered and comes in different sizes for the 25, 49, and 61 - key models.
Using the Novation Impulse 61 is easy. First, connect it to your computer via the USB socket. If you're using Ableton Live, make sure it's version 8 or higher. Once connected, you can start playing on the keyboard. The keys are velocity - sensitive, so the harder you press, the louder the sound. Use the knobs, faders, and buttons to mix and shape your sound. The drum pads are great for playing drums in real - time. You can loop samples and design arpeggios. In Ableton Live, they also work as clip launchers. Just look at the colours to know the status of each clip. When it comes to maintenance, keep the keyboard clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures. Since it's USB bus - powered, make sure your computer can provide enough power. If you have any issues, check the software compatibility and make sure all connections are secure.
