Roll Mode

Roll mode gives you a convenient method of repeatedly triggering a single note – typically a 

percussive effect such as a drum sound. Enable Roll by pressing the 

Roll

 button 

15

. The Roll 

button LED illuminates and the drum pads glow red. Pressing a drum pad will now trigger the 

sound assigned to it for as long as the pad is pressed. The pads’ velocity-sensing is still active 

– the volume will be proportional to the pressure applied to the pad. See also “Pad Curve” on 

page 20.

Certain arp parameters (set in the Arpeggiator Settings menu – see page 26) have an effect on 

the rhythmic pattern of the roll. 

Boot Menu

The boot menu will not be required in normal operation, but is there to let you update Impulse’s 

firmware, check firmware version numbers and also to reset all the settings to the original 

factory values.

Boot menu is entered by holding down the 

+

,

 and 

Shift

 buttons simultaneously while applying 

power – i.e., while plugging in the USB cable.
