Product Description

Novation's most affordable hardware controller to date, Nocturn is an intelligent plug-in controller that promises to unleash the full potential of all your favourite instruments and effects. Featuring the latest Automap Universal 2.0 software, exclusive to Novation controllers, Nocturn provides automatic, instant and intelligent control of all automatable plug-ins within every major sequencer, including Pro Tools. Nocturn features eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders, each equipped with a bright eleven-LED ring (ideal for laptop DJ'ing in a dark club environment). These are accompanied by eight user-assignable illuminated buttons and a smooth, professional 45mm cross-fader. The finishing touch is Novation's unique ‘speed dial'; a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever your mouse is focused on! Featuring a revolutionary new 'heads-up transparent control GUI', Automap Universal 2.0 places a transparent control map across your computer screen, to be recalled or hidden at will. Little or no user setup is required and plug-in control can be exactly the way you want it, no matter what music software you use. Just boot up the plug-in and you'll see at a glance how the parameters are automatically assigned to each of Nocturn's controls. An instant click and control ‘learn' function is also available for quick re-assigning of controls, or for creating your own controller map in seconds. Multiple page options mean that you can assign a potentially infinite number of parameters for each plug-in.

Reviewer: friede,

i bought the nocturn to have full control [w/ a crossfader] of my serato dj/vj video setup, since i don't use the rane ttm57. it works perfectly, but the one thing i don't care for is the fact that you HAVE to run the novation software to have it work, rather than just being upnp w/o having to run the sw in the background. it doesn't effect performance in any way, but it'd still be better imo if it wasn't a must to have to run it. i'd recommend this compact and inexpensive controller to anyone running realtime controls for serato, ableton, or any other audio/video dj/live stage shows, as it has a very small footprint, and works perfectly once you have it midi mapped.
