Impulse 49 : All round excellence!

Used with Logic Pro X 10.4.8

Pros:

- Easy to use with smooth faders and rotary dials and great feeling keys.

- Auto-map feature is really diverse, works on all major DAWs.

- Its faders can also be used as a control surface for Pro Tools using Auto-map. (NOT as a replacement for Avid's dedicated control surfaces for example Avid S1)

- All features are similar to the 61 key version

Cons:

- The compact size may result in lower stability on a keyboard stand (in my case Millenium KS-1001). Can be solved using an extension handle on the keyboard stand.

- For some VSTs, 61 key version would be easier to use. (This is more of a luxury than a necessity.)

Overall it's a good balance between premium features and affordable pricing.

Easy to use and has a great feel.

Packed with almost all possible features that one might need for a bedroom project music production setup. For everything else, there's always your mouse ;)
