The wildly popular Nocturn control surface now has keys! The Nocturn 25 gives you 25 synth-action keys, so you can record your favorite virtual instruments. And now, you've also got better visual feedback than ever. On top of having LED-ringed encoders and backlit buttons that give you instant information, the Nocturn 25 comes with Automap software that displays the entire control surface on your computer screen for easy big-screen viewing. It features 25 high-quality Fatar "Fast Touch" keys, complete with velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, and separate pitch/modulation wheels, for more expressive playing with the Nocturn 25.

Automap technology
Apart from from high quality hardware, what really sets Nocturn Keyboard aside is the Automap control software. Automap is now even more powerful and easy to use. Nocturn Keyboard ships with Automap standard, which acts as a software interface for the unit. Automap enables you to map parameters in your software plug-ins, straight to dials and buttons on the controller by simply clicking on a parameter, then touching the controller. There is no longer any need to sift through long lists of MIDI continuous controller numbers. This applies to encoders, control-buttons, drumpads, modulation wheel, sustain and expression pedals; Automap can instantly assign them all to software parameters. Automap can integrate with Logic, ProTools, Digital Performer and any other HUI compatible sequencers, using the HUI control protocol.

Displaying Control Information
The Automap GUI graphically displays all the controls on Nocturn Keyboard, visually showing you what software parameter is assigned to each control, exactly as it is laid out on the unit. You can also name each control, turning the GUI into a giant screen where all information is instantly displayed and updated. With this, there is no need for a tiny LCD screen on the unit, which can only display very limited information.

Nocturn Keyboard can be set up for use as a serious DAW/sequencer controller, as well as its ground-breaking Automap control of all VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins. Below is a list of compatible DAWs and Nocturn features that correspond.
