The Novation Nocturn 49 MIDI Keyboard is an
intelligent plug-in/sequencer controller with a high quality 'Fatar'
keyboard. The Nocturn 49 also has 8 drum pads and a total of 33
assignable controls. Use the Nocturn 49 to get hands-on control of your
plug-in instruments, effects and sequencer.
Most keyboard
controllers have 2 big problems: The idea of being able to control
software parameters with knobs and buttons sounds great. However, the
hassle of assigning them, and remembering what they are assigned to
becomes so tedious that you usually end up turning back to your mouse.
The
Novation Nocturn 49 Keyboard's Automap control software solves both
these problems. To assign controllers, simply click on the parameter,
touch a knob or button, and it is assigned! It also enables you to keep
track of what is assigned to what. Instead of using a small monochrome
LCD screen, Nocturn Keyboard displays control information where you
really need it: on your computer monitor. The Automap software
graphically displays Nocturn's control surface. The controllers
themselves also tell you what is going on: LED rings around the 8
encoders show their current settings, and LED's behind the buttons tell
you if they are on or off.
Automap
Apart from from high quality hardware, what really sets the Novation
Nocturn 49 Keyboard apart is the Automap control software. Automap is
now even more powerful and easy to use. Nocturn Keyboard ships with
Automap standard, which acts as a software interface for the unit.
Instant Assignment
Automap enables you to map parameters in your software plug-ins,
straight to dials and buttons on the controller by simply clicking on a
parameter, then touching the controller. There is no longer any need to
sift through long lists of MIDI continuous controller numbers. This
applies to encoders, control-buttons, drumpads, modulation wheel,
sustain and expression pedals; Automap can instantly assign them all to
software parameters. Automap can integrate with Logic, ProTools,
Digital Performer and any other HUI compatible sequencers, using the
HUI control protocol.
Displaying Control Information
The Automap GUI graphically displays all the controls on Nocturn
Keyboard, visually showing you what software parameter is assigned to
each control, exactly as it is laid out on the unit. You can also name
each control, turning the GUI into a giant screen where all information
is instantly displayed and updated. With this, there is no need for a
tiny LCD screen on the unit, which can only display very limited
information.
Automatic Mapping
Automap will automatically assign knobs and buttons to parameters on a
huge number of the most popular plug-ins. We are constantly building
more maps which are available on the community pages of the Novation
website. Nocturn Keyboard will automatically assign controllers to
mixer and transport functions in all major DAWs/sequencers.
DAW Control
Nocturn Keyboard can be set up for use as a serious DAW/sequencer
controller, as well as its ground-breaking Automap control of all
VST/AU/RTAS/TDM plug-ins. Nocturn integrates with major DAWs including
Ableton, Pro Tools, Record/Reason, Logic, Cubase, Sonar, Reaper, DP,
