It's been like a best friend for years now, other then Auto Map sometimes guesses/picks some strange controller settings for Waves plugins. Of course I wouldn't even dream or consider plugging it into a port or doing anything with it that it wasn't designed for, but that's just me.
I've never done that again because I never had any problems with it, there's no need to fix things that aren't broken. I have never had any problems with my Novation Impulse 61 since I 1st unpacked it brand new & plugged it in, and flashed the firmware. Plugged into the USB Type C port, my normally rock solid Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 gen 2 may or may not disappear and disconnect at any time during a CbB project session and knock out studio monitors and headphone amp and switch over to the little speakers built in my display monitor. When the phone was fully charged it not only stopped charging the iPhone it also shut down power to the external USB hub as well.Īnd while I've read claims that USB 3.1 is backwards compatible, you'll never convince my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 gen 2 of that.Īnd what makes it even more confusing is Yes you CAN plug a Scarlett 18i20 gen "3" USB 3.1 interface into a USB 2 port with an adaptor, but you CAN'T do it the other way around. I noticed this happening when charging my iPhone. Not only is USB 3.1 Type C have more connector pins and much faster then v3 it's also capable of monitoring power consumption and automatically throttle down or shutting off power for charging batteries. Impulse's have super fast MIDI transmission & ultra low unnoticeable latency so there's no need to use USB 3 and it would be wise and well advised to keep all USB 2 devices far and away from USB 3.1 ports.Īlso I've found many people get confused with the mini USB-C ports found on cellphones with high speed USB 3.1 Type "C" (24 pin) ports can be problematic for any device that doesn't specifically have support for 10 GB/s data rate. USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt devices. Although they finally resolved that issue, USB 3 didn't offer any performance benefits.Īlso I do believe Novation is a subsidiary of Focusrite so I would sign in to your account and check with their support.ĭid you try replacing the USB cable or using another MIDI port on the computer? I remember with the first version Scarlett gen 2 drivers, Focusrite gave a strict warning NOT to plug it into a USB 3 port. 🤔Īnd contrary to popular belief, just because they SAY USB 3 is backwards compatible does NOT mean all USB 2 devices will work with it. Huh, I've never seen a computer that only has USB 3. (I saw online this is a possibility as it has happened to others.) Is yours working? Has it always worked? Are you using USB 2? (he only has 3). So yes, sold (trying to) my keyboard to a friend and it is randomly shutting itself down. as a controller interface, the suckage factor is high. Sorry, I know of no way to revert the firmware.ĭespite my many issues, I still use it with Cakewalk, though I only use it now to input Midi parts.
#Novation impulse drivers software
Have you ever installed the AutoMap software that came with this keyboard ? (Novation Impulse hasn't been supported in Cakewalk since Sonar X3, a long time ago.) How long is your USB cable ? (I had troubles when I got one that was too long) Also, there are settings in Windows in the Device Manager where USB hubs have a Power Management setting to allow Windows to turn off USB hubs to save power, find that USB, uncheck it ? I've never had that "turning itself off" problem in the many years of using Novation Impulse in Cakewalk, but yes, a host of other issues. Is there away I can reset the firmware it its original form. However now I have problems with the Impulse 61 randomly turning its self off and the only way I can resolve this issue is to unplug the USB and re-plug it back in. I successfully updated the firmware for the Impulse 61.
