@kontube00 Studio One and Reaper should be compatible. Automap is compatible with VST, AU and RTAS plug-ins that have automatable parameters. You can check which parameters are automatable in your plug-ins by viewing the automation lane in your DAW. You can always use your Novation midi controller as a standard midi controller. As long as your software supports midi control you should be able to create a template and assign controls manually.
@luiswega Novation Impulse allows you to get hands on control for your DAW and plug-ins. Novation has worked with all the major DAWs and plug-ins to make sure that you get instant control of your mixer, transport controls and plug-in instruments and effects.
@Onturuuuuu Yes - these keyboard controllers can be used with an iPad2 - but you will need to connect with an Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit - B&H # APIPCCK and use the GarageBand app. You will not have full MIDI mapping capability however. More questions - contact us at: ASKBH@BandH. com
Hello. Nice video. I connected the expression pedal to the input behind the Impulse ... but it does not work! Do you know how to activate? Thank you so much from Italy Signed up
The Novation IMPULSE series is compatible with Mac OS and Windows. They include Ableton Live Lite, Novation Bass Station synthesize, and a Loopmasters sample pack software bundles. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.
@koshillo Space will not allow a fully detailed instruction here. Contact us at audio@bandh.com for detailed instructions. This controller is fully compatible and will auto-map with Logic.
Within Ableton Live Lite, a Clip is essentially a sound file (of any duration) which can be assigned to any DAW Track. Provision has been made for launching Clips directly from drum pads on Impulse. But you cannot play a chord as you would on a piano. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com
Can you assign chords to the pads. And I don't mean a chords sample, but multiple MIDI notes. So, let's say I load a Piano VSTi and I press one of the pads and that plays minro 7th chord.....I am not actually sure if there is any other MIDI keyboard that can do that :)
have a request for you. I have an external module and an Impulse 49. I don't know how to set up Impulse so that I can control the volume on the external module from Impulse. Switching banks and sounds is not a problem, but I can't set the most important function CC7 volume so that I don't have to add or subtract from the module during live performance. volume. Thanks for the advice
@@BandH Thank you, I found the error, I couldn't set it on the Impulse CC7, so I couldn't control the volume on the external module. I already have it, everything works according to my ideas
Its weird i just commented on another video on this controller the same thing about "start making music more so like playing live and not so much like clicking midi into a program"
thanks. BH i made my decision between Axiom and Novation. But now, which one is best for me. Live, DJ, or the Impulse Novation. I'm an Pop-cinematic Rhythm kindda guy. please help me choose 2 (1 studio@home and 1 traveling with me and Macbook Pro). My DAW is Reaper (sometime using Studio one) Oh i forgot 1 thing: All Midi Controllers by Novation has Midi Interface buil-in right? or i need to buy its differently thanks a bunch
hi Rob. i known all Novation Midi controllers will work great with all major Music softwares such as: Pro. tool, Logic, Cubas . . . my question is, does it work well with REAPER or STUDIO ONE?? thanks
These Novation USB - MIDI controllers are Windows compatible as well. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.
Sure. Still a great item: bhpho.to/xaABBE. Also consider the Akai Professional MPK 225 - Compact Keyboard Controller B&H # AKMPK225: bhpho.to/2R51ldf >Mark
Although it should work - seamless MIDI functionality is offered by the M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 (B&H # MAAP61) USB MIDI controller that features custom software called "HyperControl" that runs within the device itself that automatically maps its hardware controls to SIBELIUS 7 and other popular DAW programs.

Saludo tengo un problema con mi teclado del 61 teclas metí la estupidez de actualizarlo ahora prende y a los segundo se pone la pantalla azul lo actualice por un video por favor me puede ayudar mil gracias
Perform a factory reset Sergio. Please follow the procedure below to perform a factory reset on the Impulse. bit.ly/3Ah37wt Hold down the 'shift', '+' and '-' buttons then connect the USB cable to the Impulse. You will now be in the boot menu. 'Exit' should be displayed on the LCD screen. Press the '+' button three times. 'Fac Rst' should now be displayed on the screen. Push the 'Data' encoder three times. >Mark
The Novation seems to be the better supported product and is easier to use and program. It is the more flexibly designed product with simpler DAW integration. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.
The Novation Impulse 49 - USB-MIDI Keyboard (B&H # NOIMP49) is an amazing keyboard controller that is compatible with many of the most popular DAW software programs including; Ableton, Cubase, Logic, ProTools, Reason Record, Sonar (PC only). Considering the price difference - Novation is a fine choice. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh{at}bandh{dot}com. Mark S.
They are really close. Both have similar feel on the keyboard. The Korg has 16 drum pads vs the 8 on the Novation, but the Novation comes with more software. That would be the deciding factor. |Heather S|
Impulse has 8 quality-feel drum pads which are velocity-sensitive with aftertouch. These are back-lit with 3-colour LEDs which means they can do things other drum pads can't, like warping arpeggios in real time, rolling beats and launching clips in Ableton Live (Ableton Live Lite 8 comes with Impulse). But you cannot assign/re-program the drumpads to other functions. Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: askbh@bandh.com. Mark S.
These are both great products. The Novation offers an Arpeggiator with pad-based rhythm editor, roll mode on drum pads with aftertouch control of amplitude, and a precision 61-note semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch. The M-Audio Code 61 61-Key USB/MIDI Keyboard Controller with X/Y Touch Pad (Black) B&H # MACODE61B costs less, but includes 16 Velocity-Sensitive Backlit Pads. bhpho.to/2Fmoi34 >Mark
I just got this keyboard on christmas eve 2013 & I have 2 things to say about it, one good & one bad.... the good is that it's really easy to set up with ableton live & the keyboard has a lot of cool features... the bad is that there's no damn power button on this thing, which makes no sense to me, when I'm on my mac but I'm not working on music this thing is still on with the lcd screen all lit up so I have to disconnect the usb cable to turn it off, that really pisses me off because I feel like the usb cable or the usb input on the keyboard will eventually get damaged from all the plugging & unplugging! What a lame design flaw to not have added a power button, my m-audio Axiom 25 keyboard has a power button but I liked the features on the impulse 49 so I got one but now I'm considering returning it to guitar center based on the lack of a power button!!!

Hi Rob. Can the sliders be mapped to drawbars on the Hammond B3x?
It wouldn't have hurt to put 8 more drum pads on the 61 key version for convenient live looping. Now I'm torn between launchkey and impulse.
