«  Daube and commercial scam? »

used for a week, I have already several control module (BCF 2000, fader port) and I of computer music, and therefore noon, for 25 years, I have seen many master control and other control surfaces .

My need is simple: a small control surface to make automation and control on the fly (I do not live) and my other VSTI VST plug-ins. So after searching my choice is the nocturn, small, little buttons, machine looks simple, cheap and famous automap that looks magical ...

I unpack and I settled in accordance with the procedure without other controllers plugged in USB, scan my automap VST, he sees all and I select short, everything goes well. I turn cubase, and nothing ... the nocturn recognizes only a few pluggins and its performance is far from optimal with these plug in my eyes ...

I'll look in the user forums, and I realize that I am far from being the only one bugged by this machine ...

Good second try, I uninstalled, and the broth first for me, the uninstall is disgusting, the nocturn leave lots of traces in your registry and hidden files everywhere ... argh it ennerve me! I clean everything properly and reinstall the dung to achieve the same result. I spend time with the manual to set the controls, it is not easy, natural, and in relation to the time spent with the result automap and uninteresting.

I told the okay, I'll just use midi. I turn off the automap, open ports noon, I open a VST with learn function, and nothing! ben m ... then! I try the same manipulation with the BCF and the fader port and everything works perfectly ...

So here is an object that seems well thought out and appealing against by the software layer (the automap) and implementation noon are simply pathetic. The use becomes heavy, not intuitive, automap is not self much less universal, takes hold of your plugins, IT integration is dirty, bad uninstalls, what I hate ...

Icing on the cake, it does not even noon ...

I'll be happy to stroke crushed mass, if I did not have money back guarantee ... you noticed, then it is a recent product, we find a lot of secondhand ridiculous prices, not everyone has the money back guarantee .... this is not a sign?
