I honestly don't know how people EQ things digitally in the box day in and day out without some type of controller like this. I mainly bought the nocturn for EQ which I can now do so much better. I still use all the AIR effects, but those arent too bad to control with the mouse.

So no mapping your AIR delays and stuff like that since you cant get them in VST, but since I got the nocturn I have replaced most of my stock pro tools plugins with better 3rd party effects. It doesn't map the native AAX plugins in PT 11. Its really good for doing digital eq and dialing in correct amount of compression, setting ratio, threshold etc. I don't use it for everything, and it won't solve all problems in the studio, but it's very valuable for such a cheap price (50 bucks you can't go wrong). It also has 8 buttons which can control similarly, press the button to change a paramater (mono/stereo for instance), or even change rotor settings in designated steps! That makes for 18 controllable parameters, and it has endless pages, so once your done controlling one set, you just press page + and get all rotors, slider, and buttons to map all over again! They are all flexible, you kinda have to make your own custom control maps to get the plugin how you like. It actually has 9 rotors, and 1 slider all of which can be assigned to control almost any function on any plugin. Not sure though.īut 3 Nocturn's linked together as a hardware channel-strip, controlling Duende or Waves SSL in Pro Tools. I could go with an Artist Mix, but as I understand it you can't map the plugin parameters to the Artists encoder, like the Icon or Command 8?Īuto-mapping seems to be the "holy grail" here and as I understand it, Novation are the only controllers who dose that. I wonder if it's possible to link several Nocturn's to get a 16 or maybe even a 24 encoder controller? Only thing is that I wish they would make a Nocturn with more than 8 encoders.

Nice to know, as I have considered getting one. Cant wait til they come out with automap for pt11!!! There are few 3rd party control surfaces and none are affordable! Im not complaining because im sure its all coming soon. I own pt 11 (hd) but havent started using it much because so many 3rd party features like automap are still unavailable. A control surface like artist control / mix is out of my budget, so this does the job right now. I already have an m audio keyboard using direct link im controlling pt itself from that and plugins from automap. The nocturn is a great plugin controller. For 50 bucks you cant afford not to have something like this. Im using pt 10.3.8 (hd) and automap 4.8.3 (beta) in osx mavericks. Bought it because the price was right hoping it would work. Just mostly people complaining it doesnt work or crashes pro tools. Havent seen much praise for automap and pro tools 10 when i googled it. Combined, Automap Universal 2.0's transparent control GUI, and the controller's touch sensitive dials remove issues inherent in controlling multiple instruments and effects.Been using this little nocturn midi controller i got for 50 bucks on ebay to control pro tools plugins using automap. Nocturn's tactile control layout, side mounted USB socket, and ultra-low profile, allow it to sit neatly in front of a QWERTY keyboard, or on a larger keyboard, while rugged rubber grips hold it steady. Automap Universal also supports standard MIDI protocol, providing the same transparent display for quick and simple assigning of MIDI parameters. Multiple page options mean the user can assign a potentially infinite number of parameters for each plug-in. A click and control "learn" function is also available for quick re-assigning of controls, or for creating custom controller maps. When a plug-in is instantiated, how the parameters are assigned to each of Nocturn's controls is instantly visible. Also included is a "speed dial", a touch-sensitive rotary encoder that instantly takes control of whatever the user's mouse is focused on.

These are complemented by eight, user-assignable illuminated buttons and a smooth, professional 45mm crossfader. The controller features eight touch-sensitive rotary encoders, each equipped with a bright eleven-LED ring, which can be ideal for a laptop DJ working in a dark club environment.

Featuring a transparent control GUI, the software places a transparent control map across the computer screen, to be recalled or hidden at will. Nocturn from Novation is a hardware plug-in controller featuring Automap Universal 2.0 software, that in turn provides automatic, instant and intelligent control of all automatable plug-ins within every major sequencer, including Pro Tools.
