Hey Guys

Sorry if this has been picked over here before but I've just got hold of a Novation Nocturn controller but it appears that I can't get any kind of signal (midi or hid) out of it without the bundled software. Problem is, I'm using linux and the bundled control software is Windoze/Mac only. Does anyone know of any way I can get into the novation usb protocol in linux? Specifically, to pull some data into PD.

Hello Andrew,

the Nocturn is not linux friendly, because it doesn't appear as an usb midi controller but as a custom usb device. These guys have started reverse engineering the protocol, right now it's only one way communication, computer to the device: https://github.com/dewert/nocturn-linux-midi You can see it in action too :o) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oHkA5dwRmA
