Great midi-controller with really nice pads

This midi controller is a really nice one from Novation. The first thing I like from the Impulse series of midi controllers is their construction. It's much more solid an sturdy than the new lines like Launchkey, which seems quite more cheap to me, and indeed they are cheaper. With automap your really don't have to route that many things unless you require more specific routing. There are a lot of specs to check like the midi zones, but you will need to read a good manual to understand how to use it properly. What I love the most from this midi-keyboard and it's actually the reason I bought it, are its pads. They feel really really nice, and are quite sensitive, not as hard as the AKAI which you have to hit really hard in order to get a proper response. The keys from the keyboard have after touch and they seem quite decent, so you shouldn't worry about the durability.

I will totally recommend this product

I had bad luck

I purchased two of these and the pitch wheel went crazy within a span of several months. Perhaps it's still a great controller all around - I just had very poor luck with these twice in a row, unfortunately.

Really nice keybed

I'm not a pianist or anything but this has one of the nicest keyboard feels I've ever laid finger on. Especially at this price range. Perfect for my little starter production environment, Mapping it to Ableton was a sinch and it easily interacts with KOMPLETE too.

mmm could be a little more tougher

Not to robust. pitch and mod wheels went crazy in less than a year.. still its fun to use and it helps me do my stuff.

Great Keyboard for how much I paid for it

I paid $100 for this controller, I would say that is what it is worth. I use it for FL Studio and the mapping software by novation is not set up for FL Studio. If they decide to change that I would say it's worth a lot more

Novation

This happens to be my master keyboard I love the feel of the keys they feel ice piano keys the mod wheel is excellent the sliders are handy for integration with your daw as well as the knobs are programmable but do tend to feel like they are cheap doesn't feel like you're turning real knobs the drum pads can serve minor purpose but can come handy at times for additional drumming or triggering of loops

I love it!

The novation impulse 49 has a very cool design, its perfect for every studio! Its perfect that you can go into the plugin in your daw example massive you can go and change like the sustain or anything you want BUT the only bad thing is that the signal from the keyboards mixer to the daw and also the mute and solo is pretty slow so thats why i don't give it 5 stars but i think this is one of the best midi controllers of all time!

Versatile MIDI controller for virtual instruments and live performance

MIDI controller for playing virtual instruments, controlling live automation, and finger drumming.

All you need in your basic Keyboard controller.

Its a controller. Its a keyboard. Its got keys! 49-of them! Its a drum pad. It senses velocities! Its got sliders and knobs. Its cool. sadly, i haven't gotten around to fully utilizing it.

Very good Quality for the Money.

I love using it because it is easy to play the notes, and it integrates seamlessly with any DAW, (that I know of).
