The Novation Impulse is available in 25, 49 & 61 key versions.
The keys on this thing are superb (on a midi controller)! Pads are ok, knobs are nice.
All in all I would have say that this controller is worth the money.I love it!
Reviewer is brilliant.
But does it have polyphonic aftertouch? If not, why not, Novation?
I find all the piercings off-putting. Nice kb controller though.
I actually got the 25-key version about a week or so ago, and I like it a lot! I echo Tvirus’ comments on the keys. For some reason Live doesn’t want to let me update to 8.2.7 though
Bought it, returned it day later. Looks cheap, feels cheap, well it is cheap so can’t expect the same quality as Remote SL I guess.
Good review! Sharp presenter, on the ball.
Whappen to sonicstate? Nick got snuffed by industry goons and they installed a sales robot instead?
There’s really really really really nothing that could go wrong with this amazing offering then? I’m flabbergobsmacked beyond becomprehension!
It does have aftertouch. I just replaced an M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 with this. Very pleased. No bugs anymore.
