Manipulate your sounds and mixes using Impulse 61’s endless smooth-action knobs, low-profile faders and assignable buttons, with feedback provided by the LCD display.

Fully class compliant and USB bus-powered, Impulse 49 ‘just works’ with Mac OS X and Windows, requiring no power supply or drivers.
