Novation Impulse USB Midi Controller Keyboard
---------------------------------------------
Impulse is a range of professional USB/MIDI controllers. They
each have a precision keyboard and a full control surface powered
by a brand new version of Novation's Auto control software,
Auto 4, which makes getting hands-on with your DAW/plug-ins
fast and simple. Impulse also has 8 backlit drum pads that can
warp arpeggios, roll beats, and launch Live clips.
Precision Keyboard: Ultra-Responsive, Semi-Weighted Keyboard with
Aftertouch Impulse has a precision 'players' keyboard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It is semi-weighted with assignable aftertouch and has been
designed to feel like an instrument rather than a computer
peripheral. In addition to feeling good, it is incredibly
accurate--this means it can translate musical expression (how you
play the keyboard) extremely effectively. So your performance is
reflected exactly by the synth or software instrument you are
triggering.
Auto 4 Control Software Spend More Time Making Music, Less
Time Reading User Guides
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Many MIDI controllers have knobs, faders and buttons, but using
them is difficult and time consuming. Impulse (as with all
Novation controllers) comes with Auto control software. This
gives you instant ping to the things you need to control,
meaning you can make full use of faders, knobs and buttons on
Impulse to get hands-on with your DAW and plug-ins.
Full DAW/Plug-In Control Surface
--------------------------------
With 8 knobs, 9 faders and buttons, and a custom LCD screen (1
fader and button on Impulse 25), the control surface allows you
to get hands-on control for your DAW and plug-ins. Novation has
worked with all the major DAWs and plug-ins to make sure that you
get instant control of your mixer, transport controls and plug-in
instruments and effects.
Multi-Function Drum Pads: Warp Arpeggios, Roll Beats and Launch
Clips in Ableton Live
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Impulse has 8 quality-feel drum pads that are velocity-sensitive
with aftertouch. These are backlit with 3-color LEDs which means
they can do things other drum pads can't, like warping arpeggios
in real time, rolling beats and launching clips in Ableton Live
(Ableton Live Lite 8 comes with Impulse).
Works with All Major DAWs and Plug-In Instruments and Effects
-------------------------------------------------------------
Novation has worked with major music software manufacturers to
ensure Impulse gives you instant hands-on control. In addition to
the major DAWs--Reason, Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and Ableton
Live--Impulse and Auto 4 have been specially designed to give
you full control of 3rd party plug-in instruments and effects,
like Native Instruments, Waves, or FXpansion.
USB Bus Powered
---------------
Impulse is USB powered, with expression and sustain pedal inputs
as well as MIDI in and out ports for connecting external MIDI
instruments.
