One for any producers using Reason, Cubase, Ableton, Fruityloops etc....
Brand new Nocturn (well used for about 3 days, then packed back away, as I prefer the Axiom 25 for production stuff, and getting an APC 40 for Ableton use)
£65 ONO
Can't be bothered to post, but I will be at the Stafford show, SEDA AGM & NADJ AGM!
Details:
The novation nocturn is a new compact usb controller which takes up minimal desk space but gives you maximum control. 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 and is likely to be popular with both producers and digital dj's. It 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 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 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. 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 control any one of them. The nocturn also has standard midi protocol meaning you can easily assign any of the controls manually should you wish and these self-made templates can be saved for future use. Also it means the nocturne is capable of controlling other external midi hardware. Nocturn's spacious and tactile control surface, side mounted usb socket and ultra-low profile allow it to sit neatly in front of your keyboard in ideal position for the digital dj whilst large, rugged rubber grips hold it steady whilst you let rip with your favourite music software. The nocturn is an affordable and very user friendly professional controller and sure to be an instant hit with digital dj's.
