The Novation Impulse 25 MIDI Keyboard and the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 are both priced at €165/£149/$168, both branded and priced the same. We will have an interesting face-to-face:

In our first comparison, we have two MIDI controllers of the same brand, Novation, and the same price. On the one hand, the Novation Impulse 25, which as we have already seen offers 25 sensitive, semi-heavy and aftertouch keys, 8 backlit Drum Pads, 1 55mm Fader, 8 assignable knobs, transport buttons, modulation and pitch bend wheels and up/down octave keys. And on the other hand, the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 offers 25 sensitive keys, 16 sensitive and backlit pads, 8 assignable knobs, transport buttons (rec, play, pause, etc) and modulation and pitch bend wheels.
In the advantages of the first one, the Novation Impulse 25, we find a better keyboard due to the semi-controlled and aftertouch, and its 55mm fader that will be very useful in functions such as mixing and provides greater precision. The advantages of the Novation Launchkey 25 MK3 include a larger number of assignable pads, which can be used as clip triggers or assigned to certain samples, usually percussion. And also the large number of licenses it offers, which for beginners are of great value. In general, Novation Impulse 25 is a better choice.

The Novation Impulse 25 MIDI Keyboard is priced at €165/£149/$168 when the Akai MPK 225 is priced at €239/£215/$248. Let’s go to the face-to-face:

This time we have a very close comparison since we find two very similar devices, on the one hand, the Novation Impulse 25 with the functions and features that we have already analyzed, and on the other hand, we have the Akai MPK 225 that offers 25 semi-weighted keys, 8 MPC pads ( MIDI Production Center ), 8 assignable knobs, 4 keys, transport buttons (rec, play, pause, etc) and modulation and pitch bend wheels.
In advantages, the first one offers a 55mm fader, very useful for mixing, and as an advantage of the second one, we can comment 4 keys and some functions that are found as keys too, such as Loop, Note Repeat, Tap tempo, and others. For price reasons, I would go for the Novation Impulse 25 as it has almost the same functions and features, and is more economical.

The Novation Impulse 25 MIDI Keyboard is priced at €165/£149/$168 when the Novation 49SL MKIII is priced at €555/£515/$567. Let’s move on to the face-to-face:

We have a somewhat unfair comparison, on the one hand, our Novation Impulse 25 already analyzed before, and on the other hand the Novation 49 SL MKIII with triple the price and many more functions and features than the first one. The Novation 49 SL MKIII offers 49 semi-weighted keys, with sensitivity and aftertouch, plus 16 pads, 8 assignable knobs, 8 faders, 16 buttons, 6 transport buttons (rec, play, pause, etc.) and modulation and pitch bend wheels.
In all functions and features, the Novation 49SL MKIII outperforms the Novation Impulse 25, and that is also reflected in its price. While the former is undoubtedly the best option, the Novation Impulse 25 is not a bad choice for a lower budget.

The Novation Impulse 25 MIDI Keyboard is priced at €165/£149/$168 and the M-Audio Code 25 black is priced at €160, but the difference is so small that this may vary depending on which shop we ask. Let’s go head to head:

In this comparison, we again find two similar MIDI controllers, on the one hand, the already mentioned Novation Impulse 25 with its functions and features already analyzed above. On the other hand, the M-Audio Code 25 offers 25 sensitive keys, 1 XY control pad, 16 pads, 4 assignable knobs, 5 assignable faders, 5 assignable buttons, transport buttons (rec, play, pause, etc.) and modulation and pitch bend wheels.
The advantages of the Novation Impulse 25 are its semi-weighted keys and its aftertouch function, as well as buttons with brand-specific functions. The M-Audio Code 25 also features an XY pad control, which allows you to control a parameter or function in two dimensions (useful for experimentation), as well as more functions, such as pads, faders and assignable buttons. Everyone has their own, but if you’re interested in the XY pad control, you’ll want to check out the M-Audio Code 25.

The MIDI Novation Impulse 25 Keyboard is priced at €165/£149/$168 when the Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII is priced at €875/£789/$866. Let’s go to the face to face:

In our last comparison we have a somewhat unfair one where we put face to face the already analyzed Novation Impulse 25 and the Arturia KeyLab 88 MkII that offers a weighted keyboard with 88-key hammer action, offers 16 pads, 9 assignable knobs, 9 faders, transport buttons (rec, play, pause, etc) and modulation and pitch bend wheels.
The winner without a doubt is the complete Arturia KeyLab 88 MKII, it has many quality features and functions and also connections that we only see in high-end MIDI controllers. It should be noted that it is large and needs a lot of space to be used, and includes a removable laptop rack. A very interesting option for a high-end controller.

While the answer to this question lies mostly in what specific need you have, for example, if you want to have a keyboard with the widest possible note range, or if you want to have as many control functions as possible, or perhaps a mix between the two, that is without leaving behind the different connections and software licenses that most MIDI controllers offer, we will give an objective opinion according to our experience in music production and thus also with the price that the controllers demand, a kind of value for money.
In this post, we have MIDI controllers with different functions and thus also a very wide range of prices, however, a great balance of everything is found in the Novation Impulse 25, with its semi-balanced keyboard in addition to its great set of control functions, which among others we can mention: pads, knobs and a fader, all assignable. Also its sustain and expression pedal connections, in addition to its licenses, make this a great MIDI controller option.
