Product Overview

Precision Control for the Modern Producer

The Impulse 49 is built for players who demand a keyboard that feels like a real instrument while offering the control of a digital command center. It bridges the gap between hardware feel and software power, allowing you to focus on your music rather than your computer screen. Whether you are playing expressive synth leads or mixing a complex project, the Impulse 49 delivers the accuracy and versatility required for high-level production.

Product Description

Ultra-Responsive Semi-Weighted Keybed:

The heart of the Impulse 49 is its high-quality semi-weighted keybed with assignable aftertouch. Designed to be ultra-responsive, it captures every nuance of your playing style with precision. The keys are engineered to have a firm, musical action that is perfect for playing piano, organs, and synthesizers alike.

Comprehensive Array of Assignable Controls:

Take total command of your session with a full set of tactile controls. The Impulse 49 features 8 rotary encoders, 9 full-sized faders, and a dedicated transport section. Every control is fully assignable, giving you the power to map parameters to your favorite plugins and DAW functions. The 8 velocity-sensitive drum pads are backlit and double as triggers for arpeggios, rolling beats, and launching clips in Ableton Live.

Seamless DAW Integration with Automap:

Novation’s Automap software makes it incredibly easy to set up your controller. It automatically maps the knobs, faders, and buttons to your DAW and plug-in parameters, so you can spend less time configuring and more time creating. The large LCD screen provides clear visual feedback, showing you exactly what you are controlling and the values you are adjusting.
