Best thinks about it1) Best semi-weight keys : Its keys feels right at spot for a producer gives great response and smooth playing experience at same time (you can play for hours) if you piano playing experience you love it.2) best in class integration with daws (best for Ableton user).3) 4gb sound library coming with it have good samples you have to dig in for great stuff but for beginner its already gold you start making music,beat and improve your ability in daw.4) drum pad having great touch and register accurate velocity which very BUT now I just want to tell one thing and please consider it because it's true experience "GO FOR 49 KEYS IMPLUSE" yes I truly think if you really want get serious in music production you should get 49 keys because 1) you get 9 faders 2 ) As I tell above the best thing are its keys so get 24 more to play more on it and freely.3) you can use split zone effectively you can split channel for each instrument or midi track.4)it has more integration features like mixers layout (also great integration with other daws compared to 25) because you get faders. And for the price you get more in 49 keys one from 25 or 61 also.

I'm a guitarist and a hobbyist music creator. The keyboard is a bit bulky compared to other 25 key midi keyboards out there but if you want the best this is the one for you. Very grand piano like keys accompanied by 8 large usable pads. The LCD is also very nice and helpful. Definitely a top end Novation.

love the keys and the build is just solid, thanks to Bajaao for shipping the product with in no time.. However, I wish the product would include Ableton software CD, and not just the demo version...

the auto map feature that is unique to novation controllers is one of the main reasons for me purchasing their controllers. the impulse 25 is definitelyhigh end and has a premium feel about it. build quality is top notch. semi weighted feel of the keyboard is an added bonus. but trust me, the automap features makes instantly using the instrument and daw controls really easy and intuitive. the drum pads also feature after touch, again something that most controllersdon't even have on their keys. Comes with loads of useful software which added to my growing collection of instrument plugins and loops. happy to buy itfrom bajaao as they offered me the best price for it.
