Novation Nocturn

You've probably read about Novation's killer new controller, the Nocturn - it's won more awards and taken up more "cool new toys" space than its competitors*.

It looks a little something like this...

You like? We do too!

At $179.00, it can be said that Novation has taken its amazing Automap Universal (2.0, of course) technology to the people. It is the most economically priced, intelligent controller around. It instantly maps most automatable plug-ins, VSTs and major software platform mixers - even Pro-tools.

It's a fine looking little thing too. Super slim (don't we wish) and back-lit for those dark-room environments. It has a lovely 45mm cross-fader and can easily MIDI Map external devices. Learning and clearing control messages is done in a flash and the Speed Dial function is a real "oh my god" discovery - simply hover the mouse over what you want to control and the Speed Dial function will take over.
