Novation Nocturn 25

It has 25 velocity-sensitive keys, rotary encoders, a backlit LCD and USB connectivity for controlling software instruments and sequencers. Its main identity is a compact keyboard controller built around Novation's Automap system. [Novation Nocturn 25 downloads](https://downloads.novationmusic.com/novation/nocturn/nocturn-25)

Automap was Novation software for mapping the Nocturn's knobs and controls to parameters in compatible music applications. Novation's legacy downloads include Automap 4.12 and documentation for the Nocturn Keyboard.

The keyboard is discontinued, and Novation's legacy download page states that Automap is not supported on macOS 10.15 Catalina. Basic USB MIDI may still be useful with manual mapping, but buyers should not expect current Automap support.

No. Launchkey 25 belongs to Novation's newer controller line, while the Nocturn 25 is a discontinued Automap-era keyboard with 25 keys and legacy software. The two should be compared as different generations, not as the same controller with a renamed driver.
