>nutcracker, the "Movie Scratch Layer" who do i activate it?
Modules - online library..its in the Garagecube Library.
>Only Novation lets you alter how many "points" each knob has?
I dont think Novation is the only controller manufacturer to have this feature, but its the first one i've ever seen/used....and a very useful feature, so often controls are way too coarse or too fine to use live, this feature really helps.
It also allows you to program a "stepper switch" controller too, for example you could map a knob to the speed control in Modul8 and set it to only have 5 points, now you have a controller that adjusts the speed from 0 to 25% to 50% to 75% to 100%, useful for bpm related syncing.
>I also have AKAI MPD24, i used this for making beats. But i can't find who is scratching with MD8.
Not 100& sure i understand the question but here goes... Personally i prefer to use the forwards/reverse playback button when running that style of mix, the scratch effect can be hard to achieve using the knobs, theres also the Chopper module which can work nicely as it skips the playhead around the parts of a clip as you cut forward/back with a button...works well for me anyway.
>as i see the NOVATION NOCTURN has various models.
"http://www.thomann.de/gr/novation_nocturn.htm" is that you are talking about?
Any Novation model that utilises Automap will do what we're talking about, some have displays within them showing what each control is mapped to , however Automap has its Head-Up overlay screen anyway so thats not essential as you can bring it up onto screen with 1 button to see what you're controlling.
If you have an iPhone or iPod touch you can also get an Automap App from the Appstore and then use your iThingy as a controller, also works really well although your controls are limited and touch screens arent all that pleasant to use live...i prefer to have a knob in my hand and get some haptic response from buttons.
