Impulse 49 : A solid, feature-laden & well thought our controller keyboard.

12 years ago

I'm still getting to grips with it, but so far so good. Solid Novation build, I've always felt that I can rely on them. The pots are just sturdy enough for the price and don't wobble about like on some cheaper keyboards. The faders have a nice smooth but firm motion to them. The pads feel quite hard wearing an tough - you could give those a beating! The keys feel solid and responsive, again good for the price. the display is clear and well illuminated. I'm still learning my way around Automap, but it seems great.

Personally, I'm happy with it. I'd recommend it if you're looking for a good midi controller keyboard, whether or not you're specifically looking for the extra features it delivers. Winner!
