Novation Impulse 49 keyboard midi controller (also available in 25 and 61 key varieties) Price Paid: $299 Specs: 49 semi-weighted keys 9 sliders 8 knobs 8 percussion pads Length (mm) 846 (Inches) 33.3 Width (mm) 332 (Inches) 13 Height (mm) 100 (Inches) 3.93 Weight (kg) 5 (lb) 11.02 includes Novation's Automap software and I think a hobbled version of Ableton Live 8 USB 2.0 out MIDI in and out inputs for sustain and expression pedals Overall: 4/5 Good things: - It's very rugged and durable. - automatically maps to Ableton Live even without using Automap making setup practically nonexistent (..if you are an Ableton user. You'll need to use Automap for most other DAW's unless you want to map everything manually) - Very nice key action and feel for a controller in this price range. - Percussive pads are good quality, comparable to MPC pads Annoying things: - The boasted "clip launch" feature on the pads is very limited and practically useless for larger sets - There is no way to change the key assignments of the pads - There are some minor glitches that you have to keep on top of because they can result in things like tracks being armed for recording when you don't intend them to - Automap can be tricky to get working correctly (but again its not wholly necessary) - It is a bit larger and heavier than many other 49 key controllers in this price range.
