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.
