Will update this as I go about trying to solve this. I am waiting for their answer, hopefully I will get one. 1)Download MIDIOX to check if signals are going through 2)Try the keyboard on my iMac 3)If the above doesn't work, try a firmware downgrade 4)If the above doesn't work, I don't know hung myself maybe? I already sent a support ticket to Novation (Case 278217) and to the Authorised Dealer in my country (Greece). Where do I stand now? 1) Automap cannot find Sonar X3 (64) 2) Piano Keys not working at all, anywhere So, next step. Also the guy messaged me saying that it is FOR SURE a software problem as he recorded with this keyboard the day before he sold it to me (but he is using ableton live). 2) The motherboard MIGHT be faulty (my heart skipped a bit when I read this). I found out that: 1) A simple firmware MIGHT fix the problem. I saw that quite a few of us owners of Impulse are facing similar problems. Today, at work, I decided to search the web for solutions to my problem. This installer includes the latest version of the Novation USB 1.1 driver for MAC and PC. Beyond that, their feature sets are broadly similar. There are three models: the Impulse 25, 49 and 61 and, as you've already guessed, the numbers refer to how many keys each model has. Impulse is the name of the latest USB MIDI controller keyboard range from Novation. As, it was very late at night, I decided to call it for the day so I sent a message to the guy I bought it from and went to bed. I, then connected Impulse to a MIDI adaptor that has indicators for midi in and midi out signals.Īll buttons, faders, pads were working but no activity shown when I pressed the piano keys. I then thought that the settings of the previous user might be the reason for it so I performed a Factory Reset. I closed sonar and ran Dimension (standalone instrument), same thing. I fired up sonar, added the midi ports in the preferences and to my horror I noticed that the piano keys were not working at all. ! I was happy!!Īnd, then my happiness turned into horror (suspensful music here). Drivers were installed correctly and the Impulse's lights were on P90x chest and back download. So when I went home, I unpacked it (the keyboard itself was in perfect condition), downloaded the latest version of Automap, Installed it and connected the keyboard. As the guy I bought it from was far away, I had no way of testing it BEFORE buying it. Yesterday I became the proud(?) owner of a used Impulse 49 keyboard.
