Novation Nocturn
Novation unveils a new USB controller called Nocturn. 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.
Features :
– 8 touch-sensitive rotary encoders, each equipped with a bright eleven-LED ring
– 8 user-assignable illuminated buttons
– smooth, professional 45mm cross-fader
– Novation’s unique ‘speed dial’; a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever your mouse is focused on!
Probably the most interesting aspect of this controller is bundled software that features a “heads-up transparent control GUI” that places a “transparent control map across your computer screen, to be recalled or hidden at will.” Simply 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.
