Hello suppaky_piano,
I do not have a Novation Impulse but the Novation Impulse website,
https://us.novationmusic.com/keys/impulse#, states the Impulse can provide mixer control (all channels), transport control and VST instrument / effect control when used with Cakewalk / Sonar products.
I use a Korg nanoKRONTROLLER surface controller with Music Creator 6. All I had to do was plug the controller into a usb port, openMusic Creator and go to preferences > surface controllers and select the Korg to enable it.
I hope you find this information useful.
