Impulse 49 : A good MIDI controller

12 years ago

Using this with Ableton Live. Plasticky but robust and quite nice looking. Best thing about it is that the keyboard is nice to play and has great aftertouch. The implementation with Live is pretty good : the sliders are useful a volume control for the different tracks. The one thing I absolutely hate is the speed sensitive rotary controllers and this also means that I don't use Automap at all. I just can't get consistent results with these rotaries and have ended up using my old MPD instead. That's my biggest gripe with this keyboard.
