Ultra-responsive, highly expressiveNovation Impulse 61 is a highly expressive 61-key MIDI keyboard controller hosts a comprehensive array of fully assignable controls and integrates seamlessly with Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools, and other major music software. A true player's instrument, Impulse 61 features an ultra-responsive keybed with semi-weighted action and aftertouch – its full-size piano-style keys adapting beautifully to virtual organs, synths, and pianos.

Novation 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, the unique High Rate Scan (HRS) technology will scan the keyboard 10,000 times per second to capture every nuance of your performance.
