You need to assign the same notes Impulse uses to the pads you want to use via the microKontrol pad setting (Pad no. 3)
Post again if this doen't make sence.

to assign pads to impulse.... change the pads on your microkontrol to notes c3-c4 (natural notes... no sharps/flats).
NB... you can't do this from live.... you've got to set up a new scene in your microkontrol.... also set your pads to "momt", not "toggle".
good luck.

you should also have the impulse channel 'armed', so it can receive the midi info from the microkontrol.

I'm glad I found this thread. I was starting with c3 as per the manual. Is this a misprint, or is this something idiosyncratic with the microkontrol? Thanks in any event. Saved me a lot of hassles.
