Novation Nocturn 25 MIDI Controller Keyboard.

The Novation Nocturn 25 MIDI Keyboard is an intelligent plug-in/sequencer controller. The Nocturn 25 controller has a high quality 'Fatar' keyboard, with 8 drum pads and a total of 33 assignable controls. Use the Nocturn 25 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.Nocturn 25 MIDI 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 Novation 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 25 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. ...details

Novation Super Nova FX Plug in Suite.

The Super Nova FX Plug-in Suite provides five key effects from Novation's illustrious synth heritage, including signature effects derived from the legendary SuperNova II. The five independent VST/AU plug-ins include Chorus, Delay, Tremolo, Phaser and the famously flexible, powerful filter, which features overdrive. Each and every one of these software plug-ins offers a significant upgrade from standard sequencer effects and will add musicality to every production project.The Novation filter plug-in is perhaps the most sought-after effect of the five included in the Super Nova FX Suite. Modeled on the filter section of the Supernova II, this powerful effect has an array of features and a unique sound that sets it apart from other filters on the market. An audio-triggered envelope alongside five different filter types, three different octave slopes, and a crunchy overdrive dial, allow this filter to deliver a wide variety of dynamic filter modulation effects. Of all the filter types, the dual peak filter is a rarity in this day and age, but capable of delivering that signature "WOW" sound found in many modern dance remixes. The filter also features a Q-Norm dial—a resonance normalizer that reduces the signal level in relation to the resonance level. It's ideal for mimicking classic filters like those found on Moog and Oberheim synthesizers, or the Roland TB303.The Novation Delay plug-in is an enhanced version of the Supernova II delay and an essential for any producer's arsenal. The delay can be used to bring an edge to guitars or to provide a slap-back delay for vocals. However, with the addition of a high- and low-pass in-line filter, it can also deliver funky dub-style effects or a quasi-tape echo. The various stereo modes offer yet more creative flexibility.The Tremolo plug-in has never been seen before as a dedicated Novation effect. It is based on the panning section of the Supernova II synth. Depth and speed controls sit alongside a Phase control that brings another dimension to this effect, helping to produce fully variable auto-pan stereo spatial effects. Finally, the Chorus and Phaser effects directly model the same effects featured on the award-winning, industry-changing Novation K- Station synthesizer.The Novation FX Plug-in Suite brings quality digital signal processing to a new level of affordability, placing sound-sculpting flexibility and professional solutions within reach of producers on even the tightest of budgets.. ...details

Novation Remote Zero SL.

If you've already got a great keyboard-style MIDI controller but have always desired the incredible functionality of Novation's ReMote series controllers, then the Zero SL is for you. It's the control section of the ReMOTE controllers with its two giant, brightly lit LCD screens and intelligent Automap mode, which detects what instruments you have in your project and intelligently and logically maps the controls to the SL's front panel.2 giant LCD sreens for displaying control names and values Running along the top of the ReMOTE SL front panel are two 144-character screens, which can display up to 16 parameter names and values simultaneously. This makes controlling in the dark a thing of the past and does away with template overlays or having to remember the function of each control. It also makes navigating though menus simple, as each page is laid out side by side and edited using the buttons or knobs directly below.Fantastic Automap mode This intelligent mode is set to revolutionize the way you make music! When an Automap-supported application boots up (currently Reason 3, Cubase SL/SX 3, Nuendo 3, Logic Pro 7 and Ableton Live 5, with more on their way), the SL loads up the Automap Template and all the parameter assignment is done for you, showing you everything clearly on the gigantic screens. All you have to do to switch between controlling different instruments or areas of your session is click once with the mouse or press one button on the SL, depending on the application.8 musically-responsive trigger pads You get dynamic trigger pads for sketching out beats or bashing out samples. Each pad can be calibrated any way the user desires, with sensitivity and assigned data both fully programmable. For example, the pads can be set up as velocity-sensitive MIDI notes or buttons assigned to a CC number, where the value of that number is defined by the strength the pad is hit.Hands on responsive control for every application The ergonomically designed front panel is inviting and simple to use.

Novation Remote SL Compact 25 USB MIDI Controller.

The Novation ReMote SL COMPACT MIDI Controller easily enables you to take command of all major sequencers and automatable plug-ins. It makes music production easy with Automap Universal for instant software control without assigning parameters and the super-cool Speed Dial that gives you instant fine-tuning of the control your mouse has selected.The included Automap Universal software cuts out almost all user setup as sequencer controls and VST/AU parameters are intuitively assigned and mapped the moment they are opened. The available parameters themselves pop up on the COMPACT's screen and then you can personalize plug-in controls with its simple click-and-control "learn" function. If you prefer a more hands-on approach to your MIDI control, the ReMOTE SL COMPACT also has a Manual Template mode.While in Automap Universal Mode, the ReMOTE SL's unique PAC (pointer-assigned control) technology combined with its speed dial efficiently provide tactile control of any parameter on which the mouse pointer rests with an unlimited number of controls. You can control up to 64 different assignable parameters between the eight encoders, eight buttons with LEDs, and eight Group select switches. You also get eight large, velocity-sensitive trigger pads to play samples or help tap out the perfect beat. The Novation MIDI Controller also has separate, assignable pitch and mod wheels to play and a 25-key, 2-octave semi-weighted keyboard featuring aftertouch. The sizable 144-character screen displays up to eight-assigned parameters at once, with the vital information presented in a logical fashion.. ...details

Novation Dicer DJ Cue Point and Looping Controller.

Serato Scratch Live has a new partner: The Novation Dicer. Developed with Serato, this palm-sized cue point and looping controller has been designed to fit exactly where you need it: on your turntables, CDJs, mixer, or laptop. Dicer always ships in pairs—one for each side.So what does it do?Plug Dicer in, slot it on your turntable/CDJ, and you can instantly set cue points and use them to trigger Hot Cues. Or, flip Dicer into Auto Loop or Loop Roll modes to trigger loops, or roll sections of the track to create climaxes, drops, and glitchy breaks. Each mode illuminates Dicer's pads a different color, so you can instantly see what mode the pad is in, which is extremely advantageous in the usual dark clubs and venues.The forthcoming Scratch Live 2.1 update will automatically map the Dicer to these functions and provide full LED feedback—red for Hot Cues, green for Loop Roll, and amber for Auto-Loop. Dicer can control all cue-point and looping functions in the current version of Serato Scratch Live 2.0. This requires you to simply learn cue-point and looping to Dicer's pads, using Scratch Live's MIDI-learn function. The public beta of Scratch Live 2.1 is available now.Dicer's buttons can also learn other software functions. You can assign different FX to the pads, trigger samples over the top of your mix, or even browse tracks in your iTunes library.Dicer was designed by Novation in collaboration with Ean Golden—DJ and curator of DJ Tech Tools. Ean came up with the concept of a controller that fits on the turntable, and his contribution has been crucial in helping Novation design and develop Dicer.. ...details

Novation XioSynth 25.

Novation's stylish, compact and highly affordable XioSynth 25 offers a staggering amount of classic and cutting edge sounds, many from internationally acclaimed artists, along with its X-Gator patch programmer and optional filter distortion. It has everything required for producing music on the move through its audio interfacing and MIDI control capabilities.Novation-class synthesizer with updated features The XioSynth features a mono-timbral Novation synth engine with 8-voice polyphony. In addition to 3 oscillators (17 waveforms each), 1 Filter (varying types), 2 LFOs (32 waveforms each), an arpeggiator and multi-effects board, this subtractive synth also boasts some brand new facilities such as the X-Gator patch programmer. The X-Gator can be made to gate each patch to create unique 16-32 step rhythmic patterns for every onboard sound, all automatically synchronised to MIDI clock from a sequencer; just press and hold one key to groove along to a track with style.Novation sound The XioSynth features 200 hard-hitting onboard patches, utilizing a new optional filter distortion to produce an even greater range of sounds than on previous synths; from the distinctive clean British sound to the filthiest and grittiest of sonic characters. Furthermore, 60 of the onboard sounds come from internationally acclaimed artists and producers from a variety of musical genres, namely James Zabiela, Ferry Corsten, Rennie Pilgrem, Roots Manuva, Shimon, and Skeewiff. As such, every one of the patches on the XioSynth is eminently and instantly usable for creating synthesized music of any kind.High quality audio interface The XioSynth includes an ultra-low latency two-in/two-out audio interface for high-quality recording and playback. This allows you to record a microphone with phantom power as well as simultaneously stream the onboard synth audio directly to the sequencer via the USB cable. You can also plug a guitar straight into the XioSynth for DI recording while also recording via microphone.Flexible MIDI controller for software or hardware In addition to synthesizing and audio/MIDI interfacing, the keyboard is also a comprehensive control surface with 11 knobs and buttons (doubled to 22 by a Group A/B switch), plus a freely assignable touchpad and joystick. All of these controls are pre-programmed in 16 onboard Templates, so that the XioSynth can instantly control many software applications straight out the box. Add to this many more Templates online, a free Template Editor software application and hybrid modes for simultaneous synthesizing and MIDI controlling, and you have an extremely versatile package for producing or performing.Highly Portable Simply connecting the keyboard over USB is all that's required to start recording, synthesizing and MIDI controlling. As the device is class compliant, no drivers are required for Windows XP or Mac OSX (although some are provided to improve latency and stability in some apps). Furthermore, if wanting to excap. ...details
