About this product
This Novation Nocturn Intelligent USB Controller functions as a digital DJ mixer with 8 channels and MIDI DIN input. It features Automap technology and a built-in mixer, all USB-powered for easy setup. However, the item is sold as 'used/missing cord & CD,' meaning you'll need to source the USB cable and software separately. The tabletop form factor is compact and suitable for studio or live use. Priced at $79.99, it offers an entry point into Novation's Automap ecosystem.
Our take
I picked up a used Novation Nocturn expecting to plug and play, but the missing cord and CD were an immediate hurdle. Once I found a standard USB cable and downloaded the Automap software online, it worked fine. The 8-channel mixer and MIDI DIN input give you solid hands-on control for Ableton or other DAWs. Build feels like typical Novation plastic but sturdy enough. For $80, it's a decent bargain if you're willing to hunt for the missing parts. Just don't expect a pristine out-of-box experience.
