The Novation 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.
Automap Universal 2.0 also categorises 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 ensures Nocturn can
also turn its hand to controlling 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. A growing number of maps will be available to download from

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 such as the SL61. Large, rugged rubber
grips hold it steady whilst you let rip with your favourite music
software.
Combined, Automap Universal 2.0’s heads up transparent control GUI and
Nocturn’s touch sensitive dials remove the pain inherent in controlling
multiple instruments and effects, allowing you to flow intuitively from
one plug-in to the next, leaving you free to focus on what matter most
– your music.
