#Novation nocturn 49 price update#

It's a fantastic, well made product, keys and pads feel great, the whole thing is solid and built better than I imagined given the price. The 25 is small/portable as in something you'll leave lying around the house / take to a jam, but not really portable as in something you'd travel with a lot. I'd recommend to consider the 49 with the extra faders. It is a lot bigger and heavier than I expected so the 2nd idea of having something to throw in my travel-on luggage is not going to work.

The control of Live is not written down anywhere (that I could find) so had to watch a video (It's Shift + Octave to change Live track ) ). I'm not really into customing all the controls, so I plugged it in, that was it, it just works. Even though there are lots of cool new toys on the block, I went for something that has been around for a while. The set up instructions are not very intuitive. Novation and Live is pretty much guaranteed to work so it was kind of a no brain, plug and go choice. The keyboard controller works very well (or so my teenage son tells me).

I had very specific requirements: Operability with Ableton Live, full size keys with some weight, aftertouch, bus powered (USB) small/portable keyboard so I can leave this lying around the house away from my workstation and simply plug into my laptop to be instantly running when needed.

Iiii) I went back back to i) configuration (with Automap correctly set in Cubase 11) and corrected the installation guide with pen to avoid struggling once again at next computer change. Iii) if you use it without Automap the product works only partially because the 8 rotary encoders (knobs) cannot be used as volume controller but only as pan+send for the first 8 tracks

Ii) BUT.you can get rid of Automap with the latest firmware update (you can perform it via Sysex).and it works but. Cubase 10 if you find the unofficial beta version) Driver 3.1 adds support for macOS 10.15, works on macOS 10. I) you have to setup Cubase differently from the starting guide to make it recognise Automap (despite of Automap being unable to configure Cubase because is supports till Cubase 9.5 only. This installer includes the latest version of the Novation USB 1.1 driver for MAC.

There is no equivalent products at the same price.ĬON's: installation and sw compliance (I have Windows 10 and Cubase 11).ġ) the start guide makes you land on a page where you can download the driver and a support software: 'Automap' Ģ) If you follow the built-in instructions you will not succeed in properly setting up the midi in your Cubase: the Impulse will not work in 'DAW' mode but only as a generic midi controller ģ) Then I discovered among Novation's support pages that, in this order: PRO's: Construction and feeling are good as expected by Novation.
