A Compact, Portable Control Surface that's Very Effective!
The Novation Nocturn compact control surface provides excellent software control for DJs and desktop recordists alike! Nocturn's eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders are accompanied by eight user-assignable buttons, a 45mm professional cross-fader, and a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that takes control of whatever your mouse is focused on. It includes Automap Universal 2.0, which provides automatic and intelligent control of all automatable plug-ins within every major sequencer. Take control with the Nocturn!

Novation Nocturn Control Surface with Automap Universal 2.0 at a Glance:
  • Control surface
  • Automap Universal 2.0
  • MIDI mapping

Control surface
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!

Automap Universal 2.0
Featuring a revolutionary '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 reassigning 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.



MIDI mapping
Automap Universal 2.0 also categorizes all your control maps. A simple browsing facility lets you review all open plug-ins, then quickly switch to controlling one of them. Automap Universal 2.0 also supports standard MIDI protocol, providing the same transparent display for quick and simple assigning of MIDI parameters. This means Nocturn is capable of handling a hardware MIDI device, any non-automatable plug-ins, or your sequencer mixer. Once a 'MIDI map' is created, it can be saved and recalled via the same map browsing facility. Nocturn's spacious and tactile control layout, side mounted USB socket and ultra-low profile allow it to sit neatly in front of your QWERTY keyboard or on a larger keyboard.

Novation Nocturn Control Surface with Automap Universal 2.0 Features:
  • Assignable Rotary Encoders: 8 - Infinite Rotation, touch-sensitive, LED surrounds
  • Speed Dial (Encoder): 1 - Infinite Rotation, touch-sensitive, LED-surround, press and rotate for second function
  • Assignable Buttons: 32
  • Assignable Crossfader: 1 x 45mm
  • System Buttons: 'Learn', 'View', 'Page+' and 'Page'
  • Group Buttons: User, FX, Inst, Mixer
  • Interfacing Data Ports: 1 x USB MIDI

The Novation Nocturn puts command over your plug-ins in a versatile, portable package!

“The Nocturn truly rocks... The automap feature works with all of my selected plugins and I've configured it to work with my nuendo plugs. The on-screen display and ease of use makes this a transparent, easy-to-use, no-nonsense controller. Rock-on, Novation!”

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "Novation is known for quality construction, components, and gear, and this is exactly what they deliver with this small, almost handheld MIDI controller. The Nocturn is absolutely perfect for programs like Ableton Live, M-Audio Torq, Native Instruments Traktor, Pro Tools, and many more. Its easy-to-see buttons and bright LEDs are a must have in dark clubs and studios. Most importantly, the Automap features on the Nocturn make this one of the best controllers in this price range hands down. Working with plug-ins, program parameters, and DJ software is a breeze with this MIDI controller. Its also very adorable!"
Scott DeMarko
