Product Detail
The Novation Impulse 49 is an ultra - responsive and expressive MIDI keyboard controller. It's a must - have for music enthusiasts who love playing keys. This keyboard seamlessly integrates with major music software like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Pro Tools. With our unique High Rate Scan (HRS) technology, it scans the keyboard 10,000 times per second, capturing every detail of your performance. You can choose from 25, 49, or 61 - key versions. The 25 - key version sacrifices faders for portability. Produce better music using smooth - action knobs, 45mm faders, buttons, and a custom LCD screen. All controls work well with major music software and can be mapped to any parameter. Use the pressure - sensitive drum pads to play drums in real - time, loop samples, and design arpeggios. In Ableton Live, these pads double 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 comes with Ableton Live Lite 9, and is compatible with Logic, Pro Tools, and many other software. It's fully USB bus - powered, and has specific dimensions for each version.
Using the Novation Impulse 49 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 for full integration. When you start playing, the High Rate Scan technology will capture every nuance of your performance. Use the various knobs, faders, and buttons to mix and sculpt your sound. The drum pads are great for real - time drumming, looping, and arpeggio design. Just press the pads with different pressures to get different effects. For transport controls, use the dedicated buttons to start, stop, and pause your music. When it comes to maintenance, keep the keyboard clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Since it's USB bus - powered, make sure your computer can provide enough power. If you're using it for a long time, ensure good ventilation around the keyboard. Also, be careful when handling the cables to avoid damage to the sockets.
