The Impulse 61 is a premium-grade MIDI controller keyboard designed for use with digital audio workstations. The controller keyboard features a 61-note semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch. This high-quality keybed emulates the feel and touch of a traditional piano, providing added expression when playing. The ultra-responsive keyboard also boasts assignable controls for improved versatility. One of the most convenient features of the Impulse keyboard is its auto-mapping capabilities. The Automap software for the Impulse range is designed to make it easier than ever to assign your controls, providing a more streamlined workflow.
As well as the semi-weighted keybed, the Impulse 61 boasts eight multi-coloured large backlit velocity sensitive drum pads. The drum pads are perfect for recording in percussion and triggering samples, but they can also be used to play melodies. The drum pads provide another way to play in your music for added flexibility. The nine sliders are perfect for adjusting levels and automation as well as mixing purposes. Eight endless encoders are also included, as with the sliders they can be used for automation and level adjustment as well as controlling effects and more. Six dedicated transport controls allows you to navigate through your DAW with ease.
The compact yet robust unit boasts plug and play compatibility, eliminating the need to download tedious drivers. The keyboard features both a pitch bend and modulation wheel. Two octave/transpose buttons are used for quickly switching between key ranges. The custom blue-backlit LCD display displays all the information on your controls and DAW.
