Novation Ultranova software allows artists to use Nocturn Keyboards with Automap to act as a data hub for an entire production rig.

For those of you who thought Novation only made Dicer or DJ products, you are mistaken as Novation makes excellent software and great keyboards as well. Check inside for more details.
