Also, AM4 will come with the Automap 4 software AND the Novation Usb driver. Automap is to use the software as it's intended and the usb driver is so your computer can see the device. I think if the automap doesn't work, you can install just the usb driver which should give you basic functions but no automap. Novation has a wide range of controllers in its range, from the diminutive and simple Nocturn, through to the flagship Remote SL. The new mid-range Impulse comes in 25, 49 and 61-key models to suit both studio tweakers and live players.
I have tried this with automap switched on and off, tried all the options on the Impulse. I've reinstalled and set attempted to set it up again at least 10 times, I've double checked that I'm using the latest version of Automap available (4.10) and manually reloaded the firmware to the most recent available on the Novation website. Welcome to the Novation Impulse Professional USB-MIDI Keyboard! Impulse is a MIDI keyboard with a powerful DAW and plug-in control surface. It has a precision semi. The Impulse keyboards feature version 4 of Novation’s proprietary Automap software, which automatically assigns the Impulse’s controls to the parameters of your plugins and virtual instruments. At least, that’s the theory. Novation Impulse USB Midi Controller Keyboard. Impulse is a range of professional USB/MIDI controllers. They each have a precision keyboard and a full control surface powered by a brand new version of Novation's Automap control software, Automap 4, which makes getting hands-on with your DAW/plug-ins fast and simple.
Our Most Expressive Keyboard
We specifically designed the Impulse keyboard to let you create truly expressive performances. Ultra-responsive with semi-weighted action and aftertouch, its full-size piano style keys adapt perfectly to any instrument you want to play, including organs, synths and pianos.
While you’re playing, our unique High Rate Scan (HRS) technology will scan the keyboard 10,000 times per second to capture every nuance of your performance.
You can choose between a 61, 49 and 25-key version of Impulse. The only difference is that the 25-key sacrifices its faders to make it easier to carry around.
Produce Better Music
Mix and sculpt your sound using endless smooth-action knobs, low-profile 45mm faders, loads of buttons and a custom LCD screen. All controls work seamlessly with major music software and can be mapped to any parameter.
'It's so easy to use - everything's just assigned to everything. So simple.'
- Jimmy Mac, Keys - Lorde
Do More with Your Drum Pads
Play drums in real time with pressure-sensitive pads for rolling beats, looping drum samples and designing arpeggios. These pads also function as multicoloured clip launchers in Ableton Live, so you can tell whether clip is loaded (yellow), playing (green), or recording (red).
Connect To Just About Anything
Impulse is class-compliant and USB bus-powered, so you can simply plug it into Mac or Windows and get started straight away, without the need for a power supply.
Impulse is gig-ready, too; 5 pin MIDI outputs allow you to connect to your favourite synth or module.
