Nocturn controller by Novation

The Nocturn controller, by Novation, is designed for use with Automap Universal 2.0, for the automatic, instant and intelligent control of all automatable plug-ins within every major sequencer, including Pro Tools.

Novation Nocturn features eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders, each equipped with a bright eleven-LED ring. These are accompanied by eight user-assignable illuminated buttons and a 45mm cross-fader. Also featured is a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever your mouse is focused on!

Novation says:

Little or no user setup is required, and plug-in control can be customized to be laid out just the way you like it, no matter what music software you use. 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.

The combination of 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 jump instantly from one plug-in to the next; so you’re free to focus on what matter most – your music.

   Hi all,

   I’ve been looking for this product expecting to pay over £150 but it looks like its launch price is only
   £69.95

   Is it worth waiting to buy it now or until the price drops?

   It’s at a very low price at the moment – £69.95.

   It won’t last long.

   Of course these things always go down in price in time – but who knows how much time? Could be years.

   If it’s something you want/need – then get it at that price, is my advice.
