Novation Impulse 49

Ultra-responsive, highly expressive 49-key MIDI keyboard hosts a comprehensive array of fully assignable controls

Our highly expressive 49-key MIDI keyboard controller hosts a comprehensive array of fully assignable controls and integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools, and other major music software.

A true player's instrument, Impulse 49 features an ultra-responsive keybed with semi-weighted action and aftertouch – its full-size piano-style keys adapting beautifully to virtual organs, synths, and pianos. You also get eight pressure-sensitive, backlit pads that are perfect for playing and recording drums and percussion.

• Create expressive performances – our High-Rate Scan (HRS) technology captures every nuance and detail of your performance
• Easily assign all controls – get hands-on with your music production software (Ableton Live Lite included)
• Shape your sound – manipulate your sounds and mixes with smooth-action knobs, low-profile faders, and assignable buttons
• Do more with drums – eight velocity – and pressure-sensitive backlit pads for playing beats, designing arpeggios, and even launching clips in Ableton Live
• Connect to anything – plug in to your hardware synths and sound modules via 5-pin DIN MIDI output
