Novation Nocturn?

Hello I wonder if you can use the Novation Nocturn with the octatrack? Without a computer. Many thanks Rick

You would need a USB/midi interface as the nocturn only has a USB midi and does not have any din midi ports. The OT does not have USB midi.

afaicr the nocturn won’t even work with a USB host device that isn’t a computer as it needs the novation automap software, it’s certainly not class compliant, but it’s a surprisingly useful controller

Oh wow that severely limits what’s seems like a decent controller.

You’re better off with a Launch Control or better still, Launch Control XL. It doesn’t have a cross fader but the one on Octatrack is far better quality anyway.

Check out Neil Baldwin’s LCXL template in the files section.

damn, it seemed like an ideal controller for pd on a raspberry pi or something… requiring proprietary software is lame
