Ableton Forum

I sent Novation an email. You guys should consider sending them an email. This is a great product but the software needs some tweaks.

The Nocturn is a good controller, but there are a couple very simple software features that would make it a million times better.


1) You should be able to map the ...

can anyone tell me what they have "step" set to in automap for their crossfader, if your x-fader works fine that is. i have mine set to 1, and i have tried others with no luck. if i perform a very slow fade while mixing it gets stuck along the way in live. i was thinking the "step" value in the ...

i don't use the pickup modes, but this is still very much a prob with the nocturn. x-fader works fine with other controllers. i'm prob gonna put some tape over the speed dial so i don't accidentally touch/hit it during gigs and to remind me of how much it's a piece of sh** dial. :!:

The speed ...

i only bought the nocturn for two features.
1) the horizontal crossfader
2) the speed dial

i feel compelled to say that both of those controls SUCK!!!! the speed dial occasionally gets stuck, meaning my mouse disappears and doesn't come back (have to manually turn off comp). the x-fader just ...

Oh god. When I saw this post I hoped it was the Japanese dude. This guy can rock it!!

this is not a problem with your nocturn, but the ableton side, check this forum with keywords like "recording automations"...

I guess, maybe am I wrong, but you don't really precise what you did and didn't configure.

anyway to answer the title of this topic, no, I don't use nocturn w ableton ...

Alright, well, I read the MIDI section of the manual. It doesn't say anywhere anything about mapping multiple midi controls to a single Live item (like the crossfader).

I was thinking it would be nice if there was a way to intercept midi signals from my Nocturn and convert channel 1:CC16, 2:CC16, 3 ...

Not rude at all. I'll read all that stuff. I just assumed that something like focusing on the opposite tracks audio filters when you change a filter is something that wouldn't be covered.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Alright, new issue.

When I turn a knob that changes EQThree on audio track 1, it changes Live's focus to audio filters on track 2.

simply assign one and the same midi cc for the xfader on all 17 pages
Sorry, I misspoke. I think i'm talking about 'scenes' instead of 'pages.'

I can do that over pages, but each thing "user / fx / inst / mixer" seems to not be able to use the same midi channel

that because the other things ...

Alright, I got it to work. Not sure what I did.

Here's my next question.

I want the crossfader to work no matter what page I am on. Right now I can only assign one midi cc# to the crossfader in Live. Is there a way to make sure the crossfader is the same channel and midi cc# no matter what page ...

I thought sync was strange I just set it up like novations site says.

I'll delete them again but I tried that.

I have midi setup in automap like you said.

In fact, other than sync everything is set up like you said. I tried it without sync too.

Any other ideas? I did RTFM and I think that ...

I just got my Novation Nocturn in the mail. I installed automap and plugged in the Nocturn. I set it up in the MIDI prefs for Live. When I turn knobs I can see that Live is getting MIDI signal because of that little light in the upper right of the Live window... but for some reason I cannot bind ...

well we got our lives to sync up but we're trying to work out audio

Ninjam looks awesome! Is there a way to pipe Live into Ninjam? For now it just says that it takes hardware inputs (built in MIC and line in)
