All user reviews of 5/5 for the Novation Nocturn

I use it for 2-3 years, mainly to manage settings for VST instruments, secondarily to manage the mix in Cubase.

The mixer in itself is good for its price / quality ratio, but precisely: at that price, it's plastic, it's cheap, the cross fader is a bit hard (should not buy it to scratch eh?) .
At the same time, it works, it seems to hold well over time.

What makes its real utility (but I do not think anyone was fooled) is the automap. This is purely awesome, it takes really good hand on the machine configuration.
/ Little off topic: I do not personally like the new version 4 of the automap, which seems less convenient and intuitive in its interface than version 3. /
We forget the blow it completely plastic so cheap it makes daily service!

Little originality: the central knob, which is supposed to serve all, quite useless.

In short, for the price there's no real competitor, and the software makes the essential mixer quickly (we quickly forget the mouse, and that, that was priceless!).

- How long have you use it?
I've had about a week. Handling not empty, less than the instantaneous BCR 2000, but more opportunities and finally flexibility.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
As size, USB power, precision claret, rglages
The least I can not see, except the number of knobs, but the small number (8) involving the claret ngatif not really.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
BCR 2000, which I keep for practical reasons because it can be convenient to have many knobs at the same time. Although less flexible, and there is no question of carry around in his little backpack unlike the night.
- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent. Good quality manufacturing it seems to me, and the product itself is worth every penny. Software included as well (Automap), very practical in the management of orders.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
yes

I possde only a few days but his grip was quick trs. I never used surface CONTRL before that and I n'tais not convinced that it can be mastered so quickly. Automap (if not truly universal!) Is extremely convenient and allows you to assign the knobs and buttons DIFFERENT Manir trs thanks intuitive interface and friendly efficient .
Automap presets are not necessarily the most practical and it will reconfigure the virtual systmatiquement.
As for the manufacturing and finishing, they are plutt reassuring. LEDs surrounding the knobs allow not only the representatives in the dark but mostly recall values ​​automatically when changing page or preset.
Installation is simplicime.
Attention to the story: do not forget to close the app before Automap dye under penalty of Windows crashes. Impossibility for me to dye the pc!
The report seems to me perfectly reasonable qualitprix seen the performance and finish.
I would do this choice with his eyes closed (thank you to the vendor who advised me). It rpond my needs perfectly mini home studio. I drive the VST synths coupled a master keyboard M-Audio Keystation 49e. Possibility (very convenient) to control the sonar console.

I use it for a year now, but I use Automap since version 1 with remote zero, and then with the remote sl 37. The nocturne is my favorite among all. It is simple, too easy to use and fast to configure. I used to do in Ableton DJing, production in Logic Pro, and VJing in Modul8.

What I like most:
- Its size (you can put it on another keyboard easily, or next to our computer keyboard ...)
- Its ease of use, configuration.
- Integration with Automap Pro!
- A ridiculous price for the assistance he takes me on a daily ...

What I like least:
- The absence of some sensory Motörizer faders.
- The fact qu'Automap creates a copy of plugins in Logic Pro ..
- Nothing to blame on the controller itself ...

I can not do without it, the quality-price ratio is excellent, I would do this election at any time, and I recommend it to all my friends.
