New Product: Novation Nocturn Ultraportable Automap Controller
Mar 24, 2008 9:48 PM Asher Fulero (Writer)
To accompany the new
Automap Universal 2.0 software at the NAMM Show 2008, Novation announced the
Automap-capable Nocturn ($TBA;
www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_control/nocturn), the smallest device to
support Automap. It sports a pro-grade 45 mm crossfader, eight rear-illuminated
buttons and eight rotary encoders, each with bright 11-LED rings. There is also
one of Novation's awesome Speed Dials, which can take control of anything your
mouse pointer rests over, from DAW controls to other apps and OS controls. As
you switch from DAW to plug-in and back, Automap automatically reassigns
Nocturn's controls to the currently active program. Users can make their own
MIDI Maps just as easily and then find them using Automap 2.0's browsing. Maps
can be traded and shared, and Novation will undoubtedly have a growing
collection on its Website to download. A side-mounted USB socket helps the
Nocturn sit directly in front of your laptop's keyboard without a cable jutting
out of the back.
