Привет. Время от времени, одевая наушники, я погружаюсь в мелодичный прилив. Мне очень нравится то чем ты занимаешься, столько материала не разу не было. Мой импульс 49 сделал свое дело и я доволен. Нужно продолжать двигаться. Саша.
Hi Graham, Reason is supported by Automap, but is far more simple to setup than other DAW's as you only need to click the 'Auto-detect surfaces' button in the Control Surfaces tab of the Reason preferences window. If you have any problems please email support from our website.
It seems thought the SL MKII is the controller that does what it's advertised to do. I had used SL MKII which controlled Cubase really well but it was not in the best condition so I returned it to Guitar Center and bought a new Impulse 49! I think it's designed to work it's best with Ableton Live. I always have to pull up automap 4 to get it to work with Cubase when I launch Cubase the keyboard doesn't remember the setup assignments for Cubase. The MKII when you turn it on just works automatically no need to doing anything after the initial setup!
Hi Jellybeantiger, Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your Impulse. Rest assured it works perfectly fine with both Reaper and Live. Please contact our Tech Support through the contact form on our website so that we can assist you with your difficulties.
The worts tutorial I've ever see. I'm using logic Pro X 10.3.1 with my new impulse 6. After "few hours", i can't use the play & stop button... terrific
I've got the Impulse 61 today - so far it's working via MIDI in my LPX, Live9, Kontakt - everything but SO2, which isn't picking up MIDI. I never intended to use Automap as I've heard it's a PITA - it would be nice to see a video on setting the Impulse up without Automap??
I'm having loads of fun with my impulse61 and I'm happy with the software that comes with it. It seems pretty obvious (to me anyway) that Automap couldn't just work with all DAWs. I can just imagine the software developer pitching the Automap idea to his boss. It would seem like a great idea until he had to shoot all the bugs and make it work with all those different pieces of software. Ha ha. I've been there. But .... we didn't release stuff full of bugs and let the customers figure it all out.
If you are having trouble with your Impulse please feel free to contact us via our website's Customer Support section and we would be glad to assist you.
Hi... I have an impulse 61.. but it doesnt work like control surface with logic pro 9.. i don`t know what does it happened.. please help me.. thank you
I have a Novation Impulse 61. I recently set it up on my Macbook Pro, running High Sierra 10.13.4 for use with Logic Pro X 10.3.2 and Ableton Live 9 Suite (9.7.1). I also downloaded Automap 4.11.0 and set up my controller for both DAWs. It works as expected in Ableton Live, but it does not work on Logic. I am unable to get any control of the mixer, plug-ins, etc.
I have Automap 4.7 and although it works great with Reason & Presonus...the Impulse is a dead stick in Reaper. I think you people need to revise your Reaper tutorial to accommodate the latest version of Automap.
bought an impulse, advised to go straight to HUI firmware and not use automap, downloaded everything, HUI firmware samples sounds etc, Ableton audio tab in preferences says no input with keys connected, so no sound, now a week later, still no sound, tried different usb ports, contacted the Novation help, still waiting fo a resolution
i downloaded automap for windows pc but it doesn't work. The novation impulse has 25 keyboards. He only sees ableton except for the midi symbol on the map. Doesn't work in Studio one 4
unable to get my impulse 61 to show up in the input and output midi. It gives me the choice of the impulse for controller surface, but nothing else. Using the latest automap 4.10, ableton live 9.1.7 and Windows 10 x64. Have tried running Ableton and automap in windows 7 compatibility mode, but no dice.
HI, have you downloaded the latest version of Automap (4.7) from novations website, also please try using another usb cord or connecting your usb cord to another port.
I'm absolutely sick of buying digital music gear that just doesn't do what it's advertised to do. You wouldn't get away with selling anything else that simply doesn't work. I'm fkin angry about this. I just went to all the hassle of returning an Axiom for the same reason and now I have another expensive hunk of plastic that looks great and does sod all except play keys. I don't have time to trawl through endless forums to fix this and neither should I have to. Sort your fucking shit out and stop deceiving your customers. It's going back tomorrow.
Years on, lads, I agree. It is a glorified keyboard.... Infact it seems to do less. BUT come 2019 Automap has been discontinued and now we're using Ableton. What a pile of shite. It took me hours to figure out to even install and use a plugin for the Bass Station..... however with a generous amount of nobs amd faders, half of them have a useless or no function!!! It's insane how incapacitated you are with a piece of euipment that has so much potential!
I have a question..we have a novation impulse 25 connected to a Yamaha MOXF8 keyboard at our church. Is it possible to connect it to another keyboard, and how to get a different sound, like a pad, coming from the Impulse itself?..hopefully this makes sense..
i'm using Impulse 25 with Reaper V. 5.5 and Automap 4.10 now. All set up was fine. but, only the upgraded operating system for impulse 25 device that can not. with the message: "Fader are in MIDI/ Ableton mode" & "Encoder are in MIDI/Ableton Mode" so the impulse does not work properly with my DAW. please help!!!!!!
Hi, Novation. My Novation Impulse 49 Is Not Fully Working. Everything But The Record, Play, Stop And Skip Controls Are Not Working. Please Help. All Of This Is Happening In Garage Band.
Hi The Cocreator, We are in the process of adding Cubase 7 to our setup guide for Automap. For now there is an article on our Answerbase in the Automap section. If you need further helpplease email our Technical Support.
I've got an Impulse 25 that I've used with Reaper, Kontakt and Aria Player/Personal Orchestra on a previous computer. I set it up according to this video, but I can't get it to work.
Using Nuendo 6. Same problem here. They say there is support for Steinberg but clearly not. I'm working in Mountain Lion. I've tried literally everything within device setup.
If you don't install Automap, can Impulse work with Live and have features of toggle between "plugin" and "mixer" and shifting the level of encoders, as explained in the video? I guess it can't do the automatic plugin control (double press plugin button) without Automap, but what about basic operations with Live, as I've mentioned, including transport controls, clip launch, etc.?
Hello. Nice video. I connected the expression pedal to the input behind the Impulse ... but it does not work! Do you know how to activate? Thank you so much from Italy Signed Up
Sustain pedals are usually wired in one of two ways. Some sustain pedals have a switch which is used to change polarity. The Impulse automatically detects the polarity of a connected sustain pedal when it is powered on and changes settings accordingly. Therefore you can use most types of sustain pedal with the Impulse.If you're having problems with a sustain pedal and the Impulse, try powering on the Impulse with the sustain pedal connected and pressed down. Also, check the pedal for a polarity switch and try switching this. If you're still having problems, please contact our tech support team here: bit.ly/NovationSupport and they can troubleshoot this further with you.
How do I re-map the track activator buttons (fader buttons) on the impulse to arm tracks in ableton. I would like to switch sounds without having to go to my laptop. This is one of the main reason why I decided to purchase the impulse.
Philip Lindstrand Did you manage to get it working? My Impulse came today and Automap isn't recognizing any of my DAWs. I'm trying to use it with Reason 5 but I only get the Advanced tab too :s. Any advice would be appreciated..
@@protruuls541 I didn't sorry. I still use it for DAW recording/live keys but I envisaged myself triggering samples, laptop jamming, improv beat-making etc in a live setting and never got to that stage. Managed to assign some parameters but they all reset after unplugging so I gave up.. There's gotta be a way to get what you want out of it so persevere with the forums etc but I'm a musician not a technician so I can't be arsed anymore. Good luck :)
I've just switched platforms from PC to Mac. I've had my Impulse 61 keyboard for 3 years but it's always just connected to our worship pastor's Mac with Ableton so when I'm at home I have no clue what to do... Just bought a Mac, now trying to learn MainStage 3 with it . I'm having trouble assigning drum pads to a function, say a "panic" button to clear all. Can't seem to do it because the drum pads are automatically mapped to a note on the key. So every time I play the note on my keyboard the function is launched instead of the actual note I'm playing. How do I solve this issue and is there a tutorial on that? Thanks
Hi do the keyboard is connected to ableton live the faders and knobs should work automatically or I need to assign everything from the daw? Only the keyboard is working
That's right. Ableton Live features a dedicated Control Surface script for Impulse that provides automatic control of all of the software's key parameters. When working in Mixer Mode you should find that you're able to use the knobs and faders to control the currently selected track in Ableton Live. You can further customise control using the MIDI learn feature with Ableton Live.
Sorry to hear that you're having problems, Chris. This video was created back in 2012, so some of the screenshots may not reflect current versions of these programs. Please contact our tech support team for help with this and they will be able to help you get set up: bit.ly/NovationSupport
I wish they could (or would) help. The first response was just friendly words, and then I was told that Automap was not designed to work with Abelton. I decided to just use my Impulse 61 to do what it can and ignore the deficiencies. Life is too short to spend time trying to fix what can't be fixed. However if anyone has gotten Automap to work with Abelton, please let me know, and I will spend more time on this problem.
i have done the basic setup , following your guide lines , using logic pro 9 with my impulse 49 but when i press the 'D' notes on the keyboard they do not respond ? please help!!!
Automap is no longer required. You can certainly use your Impulse without it. Automap is a software application that we designed to interface your Novation hardware controller with software applications on your computer. When we originally created Automap, controlling software using real buttons, encoders, and sliders was something that was technically complex to achieve and Automap offered a unique way of connecting hardware and software. Now, most major DAWs offer native solutions for this so that any MIDI controller can take control of the software without the need for an additional third-party application like Automap. As a result, Automap has reached the end of support and is no longer receiving updates.
Is Novation Impulse FULLY (100%) compatible with FL Studio 12? It seems like it is in the video, but as many users say it has some incompatibilities...
You can use any Novation controller with FL Studio as a standard MIDI device, you can also use the MIDI learn feature to assign custom controls. This video was actually released back in 2012 - approx three years before the release of FL Studio 12. For information on the latest version of FL Studio you should contact them direct.
does the impulse 25 support maschine? ive been struggling trying to get it to work with maschine 2.0, so i need to know if i should return this and get a new one, someone pls help!
I just bought a Fast Track Pro+Pro Tools MP 9 bundle and my Impulse 49... but it seems as if I am only able to use one at a time. If I connect te interfaceto my laptop (win7), automap won't recognize the Impulse afterwards, and viceversa... If I connect the Impulse first, pro tools won't open up because "no hardware is detected" referrin to my interface. And finally, pro tools does not appear in the software setup screen on Automap 4.4 Help, please?
You can find a selection of SL MkII videos here: ruclips.net/p/PL4511E596A3286F17 You can also find useful information in the User Guide here: customer.novationmusic.com/sites/customer/files/novation/downloads/4120/english107.pdf If you have any questions or need some pointers, please contact our tech support team here: bit.ly/NovationSupport
hey i just bought the Impulse 49, i use ABLETON Live 8, atm im having PROBLEMS getting sound from my instrument rack or drum rack to come into ableton. i CAN use the keyboard to control my faders and rotaries but i CANT use the keyboard or drum pad?? please reply :(
i have now 2 computers and one is on win 8 and this one does not work but with other comp with win 7 dont have any issues however if i try it for a while it automatically switches off, so far not really reliable
HI, Make sure you have the latest version of Automap on your computer (version 4.7). If you are still having problems, contact the Novation Support through novation.com
Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Have you downloaded and installed Automap? We have a video here that explains how to get set up: ruclips.net/video/mWpPvM77SgQ/видео.html
I still can't get automap to work with my logic pro9 setup. I have a pop-up window that states that me automap is assigned to midi port "Automap Logic Mixer" which is not preset. Can someone explain what that means?
I'm using Nuendo 6 and it doesn't show up in automap or in the add device within Nuendo. Does it not yet support Nuendo 6? Will there be an update or should i get a different controller?
Hey bro, Just a quick question and thought, I have purchase several music gear from novation and focusrite . I purchased 49keys impulse, launchpad XL, Launch controller and also scarlet focusrite 2i4 . I have had the chance to get abelton lite but I have gone the extra mile because it won't let me store and save whatever I have created, I have so many of your products is it possible for me to get a version of the abelton that I can abelton to save and do more with the product. My friends see me with the products and tested them and so went and purchase the same. I have sign up all my products, you can check to confirm such DAVIAN BERRY. Thanks
It's great to hear that you're enjoying our products, thanks for your support. Have you registered your products on our website using the included Bundle Codes? All of the products that you have come with a unique activation code for Ableton Live Lite. You just need to register Ableton Live Lite using the code that is available in your Novation account to unlock all of the features including Session saving.
NovationTv ,do I get the abelton suit or I just get to save the tracks I created? Do I get the updates for it for example if abelton live 10 update to 11 would I receive this update ?
How long firmware update lasts? I've launched Automap 4.8. It started to update firmware. After 4 (or 5) hours progress bard was filled twice, disappeared and now I see only text "Sending update, please do not unplug your hardware" :( What is happening? LCD on impulse all this time shows message "Update"
***** Have you tried MIDIOX tool? Search in the Novation knoledgebase how to flash keyboard with MIDIOX. Also if you connect to USB 3.0 port then try to connect it to USB 2.0 port
***** u have to write to the impulse support and they send you a high quality cable for free...they did to me (I had different problem but they sent me a cable for free anyway)
Hello Aleksandar, The DAWs compatible with Automap 4 are the following: Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reason, Pro-Tools, Logic, and Sonar. Feel free to email Novation Tech Support if you have any additional questions. Thanks!
Can somebody please explain to me how to set up automap 4 with pro tools mp9. Automap doesnt give me the option to choose pro tools, and the peripherals in MP9 are different than the peripherals in this video. For example, there is no HUI.
Hi HandHTranceOfficial, Please download Automap 4.5 from the NovationMusic website. This will install the driver and help you get set up with your DAW. If you need further assistance please contact us through our email support.
I am using Reaper as my DAW, and I am using Novation 25SL Mkii. When I have gone to control surfaces and select HUI partial etc, a message comes up saying "The following MIDI inputs could not be opened: Automap HUI The following MIDI outputs could not be opened: Automap HUI". This also happens when I try to playback my project and if I let my project stand idle for about 30 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
No way i can make it work with reaper .It Always "says error initializing Asio driver". IT sooooo complicated ..two drivers installed plus windows update and still nothing after a whole day of trying to make it work what a drag ! I hate Impulse novation
In Reaper, when adding the new midi device, it says: MIDI In: Automap HUI not found. MIDI out: Automap HUI not found. If i select Automap HUI regardless, it tells me that everytime i pause or play with the mouse, and the Impulse doesn´t send anything at all. Anybody got some advice for me?
I use CUbase 5 and i cant get work my Novation impulse 49 I have tried all these tutorials but in device setup part (look video at 14:15) i dont get any impulse name in the list to select. Picture at this link > upload.ee/image/3256854/midi.jpg Anybody have idea how to fix this problem? is the reason because i have cubase 5 not cubase6 like in video ???

Once you have your Impulse set up in your MIDI Sync Tab (in Preferences), you can use Ableton's MIDI Map Mode to assign Parameters to the Impulse.

does the impulse 25 support maschine? ive been struggling trying to get it to work with maschine 2.0, so i need to know if i should return this and get a new one, someone pls help!
I just bought a Fast Track Pro+Pro Tools MP 9 bundle and my Impulse 49... but it seems as if I am only able to use one at a time. If I connect te interfaceto my laptop (win7), automap won't recognize the Impulse afterwards, and viceversa... If I connect the Impulse first, pro tools won't open up because "no hardware is detected" referrin to my interface. And finally, pro tools does not appear in the software setup screen on Automap 4.4
Help, please?
Do you happen to have similar guidance for integrating Novation's SL Mkii keyboards? Particularly in Advanced Mode (i.e. not Automap)?
You can find a selection of SL MkII videos here:

HI,
Make sure you have the latest version of Automap on your computer (version 4.7). If you are still having problems, contact the Novation Support through novation.com

Dont know if anyone had same problem but i dont have the same midi port setup options than in the video. I have cubase 6 elements and impulse 49.
+Smootha La Troopa I am currently having this problem with Cubase AI 8.
I Have Th Impulse 49 Too.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Have you downloaded and installed Automap? We have a video here that explains how to get set up: ruclips.net/video/mWpPvM77SgQ/видео.html

I still can't get automap to work with my logic pro9 setup. I have a pop-up window that states that me automap is assigned to midi port "Automap Logic Mixer" which is not preset. Can someone explain what that means?
I am using Garageband and the website that you provided won't work. please help

Hey bro,
Just a quick question and thought, I have purchase several music gear from novation and focusrite . I purchased 49keys impulse, launchpad XL, Launch controller and also scarlet focusrite 2i4 . I have had the chance to get abelton lite but I have gone the extra mile because it won't let me store and save whatever I have created, I have so many of your products is it possible for me to get a version of the abelton that I can abelton to save and do more with the product. My friends see me with the products and tested them and so went and purchase the same. I have sign up all my products, you can check to confirm such DAVIAN BERRY. Thanks
It's great to hear that you're enjoying our products, thanks for your support. Have you registered your products on our website using the included Bundle Codes? All of the products that you have come with a unique activation code for Ableton Live Lite. You just need to register Ableton Live Lite using the code that is available in your Novation account to unlock all of the features including Session saving.
NovationTv ,do I get the abelton suit or I just get to save the tracks I created?
Do I get the updates for it for example if abelton live 10 update to 11 would I receive this update ?
Hey my impulse 25 doesnt connect to my MAGIX Samplitude music software.
Can someone help me with that?
Our tech support team can look into that with you. Please get in touch: bit.ly/NovationSupport
How long firmware update lasts? I've launched Automap 4.8. It started to update firmware. After 4 (or 5) hours progress bard was filled twice, disappeared and now I see only text "Sending update, please do not unplug your hardware" :( What is happening? LCD on impulse all this time shows message "Update"
***** I've replaced the usb-cable that was in the box with my own. Then update was smooth and clean :)
***** Have you tried MIDIOX tool? Search in the Novation knoledgebase how to flash keyboard with MIDIOX. Also if you connect to USB 3.0 port then try to connect it to USB 2.0 port
***** Also I think troubles may occur if you use notebook and long cable because of insufficient power.
***** u have to write to the impulse support and they send you a high quality cable for free...they did to me (I had different problem but they sent me a cable for free anyway)
My automap dont offer DAW, and i dont have audio units. Please help me
Hello Aleksandar,
The DAWs compatible with Automap 4 are the following:
Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reason, Pro-Tools, Logic, and Sonar.
Feel free to email Novation Tech Support if you have any additional questions. Thanks!
I find way how to get it work. I used cu base version 5 , it was too old for this keyboard. With version 6 its working but only with midi cables.
Can somebody please explain to me how to set up automap 4 with pro tools mp9. Automap doesnt give me the option to choose pro tools, and the peripherals in MP9 are different than the peripherals in this video. For example, there is no HUI.
Hey there, I just gotten a Novation Impulse 61, and I want to use it with Mainstage 2.. Does anyone here has the experience of doing this?
How comes Reason is the only DAW not listed?

Does this work on Cubase 5?
All I want to do is plug my impulse 25 into the mains and play it - this appears more difficult than it sounds. Can someone help? :(
spacepirate Daniel did you ever find out?? I can’t get mine to work
I am using Reaper as my DAW, and I am using Novation 25SL Mkii. When I have gone to control surfaces and select HUI partial etc, a message comes up saying "The following MIDI inputs could not be opened: Automap HUI The following MIDI outputs could not be opened: Automap HUI". This also happens when I try to playback my project and if I let my project stand idle for about 30 seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
+tom harrison oh okay I might try that, thanks so much :)
now this TOTALLY fucked up fact that it's 2016 with automap 4.10 yet it doesn't have any support for FL Studio...
No way i can make it work with reaper .It Always "says error initializing Asio driver". IT sooooo complicated ..two drivers installed plus windows update and still nothing after a whole day of trying to make it work what a drag ! I hate Impulse novation
In Reaper, when adding the new midi device, it says: MIDI In: Automap HUI not found. MIDI out: Automap HUI not found. If i select Automap HUI regardless, it tells me that everytime i pause or play with the mouse, and the Impulse doesn´t send anything at all. Anybody got some advice for me?
i do not have the preferences key
Does anyone else have the problem when they release a key a clave type sound gets triggered?
Is the USB a 2.0 or 3.0?
Can it also be connected to MainStage?
I need to know this too
There is FL Studio support, but no Reason .. Cam' on jeeze
Is Automap still wonky with LPX?
Hi.
We have just released Automap 4.8 at beta.novationmusic.com, which adds Logic X Support.
FINALLY!
***** Hi Miles, So.... how's Automap working with LPX?
None of the drivers show up in Cubase just stop working for some reason.
What about komplete 9
oh the controls map fine but if you want to play the keys nothing happens. Automap is killing me
A Marr are the keys just for show?? I can’t get mine to work
It's now 2021 and automap is still.... well :(
and the impulse 49 is still expensive.
Skip to 16:10 for ProTools
to me midi+ usb works , but only midi or only usb dont work.
Como se llama ese pelao¿¿
Es un Capo¡¡¡
I use CUbase 5 and i cant get work my Novation impulse 49

Picture at this link > upload.ee/image/3256854/midi.jpg
