The Novation Nocturn MIDI DJ Controller is perfect for a beginner who just wants to get to grips with basic DJing and MIDI. Condition is Used but perfect condition. 

 

 

The Nocturn controller is petite, but the controls feel surprisingly spacious due to the unusual way in which they are arranged. This clever design means that nothing obstructs your thumb when controlling the back row of knobs. There are eight primary knobs, all of which are touch-sensitive continuous controllers an essential feature for a successful controller, in my view. A ring of LEDs around each encoder shows the current value of the controlled parameter.

 
 

In the centre is the ingenious Speed Dial knob (see the ‘Speed Dial’ box) and a touch-sensitive crossfader. Like the knobs, the crossfader has a bit of lateral wobble, Along the bottom of the control panel are two rows of eight buttons. The top eight are freely assignable to on-screen controls, while the bottom row are used for Automap functions, such as banking between parameter pages and switching between plug-in instances. All of the buttons light up brightly to indicate their on/off status.

 
 

The only connection on the controller is a USB port, which provides power and all communication with the host computer. All the clever work is done behind the scenes by the Automap 2.0 software, and the Nocturn cannot be used as a stand-alone controller. The USB connection is on the side of the box, which I originally thought was going to be untidy, but it’s actually quite unobtrusive, and means that the controller can sit flush with a laptop, display or keyboard that’s directly behind it. In my studio, the Nocturn perched neatly on top of my controller keyboard, aided by the fact that it sits on large rubber pads rather than feet.
