The Plugin, Mixer and MIDI buttons
These buttons are central to the main mode of operation of Impulse. The buttons provided differ
on the Impulse 25.

Mixer/MIDI button

The encoder buttons
11
The two buttons adjacent to the rotary encoders control their function:
Plugin – this mode is used with Automap 4; the encoders become physical controls
for parameters of your plug-ins. The mapping of the encoders to the parameters is
determined by Automap 4.
Mixer – press both Plugin and MIDI buttons together; both LEDs illuminate. In this mode,
the encoders control functions of the DAW’s mixer – e.g., Pan and Aux sends - as dened
by Automap 4.
MIDI – when the MIDI LED is lit, the encoders will output normal MIDI data, as dened in
the current Impulse template. This is the mode you will use if you are not using Automap
4 (e.g., with no computer connected).
The fader button (Impulse 25 only)
10
This single button controls the action of Impulse 25’s single fader:
Mixer – If the LED is lit, the fader is ready for use with Automap 4, and the fader will now
act as a level control for a track of the DAW mixer. Track assignment is performed on-
screen (see the Automap User Guide); also Shift + Octave> or Shift + Octave< lets you
step between adjacent tracks.
MIDI – in the alternative state (LED off), the fader is in MIDI mode, and can be used to
send MIDI data, as dened by the current template.
The fader buttons (Impulse 49 and 61)
12
The two buttons adjacent to the faders determine how they operate:
Mixer – in this mode (Mixer LED lit), the faders are ready for use with Automap 4, and
the faders will act as level controls for the channels of the DAW mixer.
MIDI – in MIDI mode, the faders can be used to send MIDI data, as dened by the current
template.
