Novation Impulse 25 - Precision USB 25-Key Controller
Novation Impulse 25 - Precision USB 25-Key Controller
The Novation Impulse 25 is a powerful USB/MIDI keyboard controller featuring 25 semi-weighted keys with after touch, 8 drum pads, 1 fader, 8 rotary knobs and transport controls that works in most major music making software.
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 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.
