Here’s What Novation Say About the Impulse 49

Novations ultra-responsive, highly expressive 49-key MIDI keyboard hosts a comprehensive array of fully assignable controls, integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools and other major music software, and is built to be a true players instrument.

Our Most Expressive Keyboard

In designing Impulse 49, Novation went all-out to create a supremely expressive performance keyboard. Ultra-responsive with semi-weighted action and aftertouch, its full-size piano style keys adapt beautifully to virtual organs, synths and pianos. Novations High Rate Scan (HRS) technology reads the keyboard 10,000 times per second, capturing every nuance and detail of your performance to an incredible degree of precision.

Produce Better Music

Take control of your mix and sculpt your sounds with Impulse 49s endless smooth-action knobs, low-profile 45mm faders, plentiful buttons and LCD screen. Each control can be manually mapped to any DAW or plug-in parameter via MIDI.

Do More with Your Drum Pads

Impulse 49s eight pressure-sensitive, backlit pads are perfect for playing and recording drum and percussion tracks, with Roll mode making light work of automatic note repeats. Going beyond beats, Arp mode uses the pads for real-time arpeggio design, while in Ableton Live, they can even be assigned as multi-coloured clip launchers yellow for a loaded clip, green for a playing clip, or red for a recording clip.

Connect to Just About Anything

Being class-compliant and USB bus-powered, Impulse 49 only has to be plugged into a Mac or PC to get up and running no power supply required. Its gig-ready, too, with a 5-pin DIN MIDI Out port enabling connection to hardware synths and sound modules.

Make Music Straight Out of the Box

A great controller keyboard needs great software to bring it to life, and music software doesnt get much greater than Ableton Live, the Lite edition of which is included in the box and integrates with Impulse 49s controls to provide:

Mixer control (all channels)
Transport control
Clip launching (using Impulse 49s backlit drum pads)
