If You Gig With Software, This is the Controller You Need!

If there's ever been a perfect lightweight, ultra-compact live software controller keyboard, then it's gotta be the Nocturn 25. This baby's got the super-sweet powerhouse control capability of the original Nocturn controller, plus 25 fatar "fast touch" synth-action keys that rebound like magic to your touch. The Nocturn 25 also has a full set of dedicated transport controls, and eight velocity-sensitive percussion pads. Add all that to the Nocturn's eight touch-sensitive encoders, eight programmable buttons, and super-slick Speed Dial, and you've got all the hard-hitting hands-on controls you need to totally rock the stage.

If you're not already aware of the Nocturn's super-secret ninja power, the trick is the way it communicates with your software. Automap has to be one of the most advanced communication's protocol you're gonna see for less than a grand. What Automap lets you do is instantly lock the Nocturn 25's knobs, buttons, and pads to just about any music production software, DAW (yes, even Pro Tools!), or plug-in out there. What's even cooler is that Automap can jump from program to program so fast, that as soon as you switch which program is active, your Nocturn's controls are already ready to take over. And Automap isn't some fancy, esoteric software that can theoretically do all this cool stuff so long as you have a degree computer science - its GUI is 100% intuitive and easy to use. You'll be commanding software on the fly in no time!

The wildly popular Nocturn control surface now has keys! The Nocturn 25 gives you 25 synth-action keys, so you can record your favorite virtual instruments. And now, you've also got better visual feedback than ever. On top of having LED-ringed encoders and backlit buttons that give you instant information, the Nocturn 25 comes with Automap software that displays the entire control surface on your computer screen for easy big-screen viewing. It features 25 high-quality Fatar "Fast Touch" keys, complete with velocity sensitivity, aftertouch, and separate pitch/modulation wheels, for more expressive playing with the Nocturn 25.
