It’s obvious, purposeful, and just a little playful. When tapped, the red, round record button animates with a quick roll into a blue, square stop button. The record button and the stop button are one in the same, and there’s no mistaking what it’s doing. It gives you a sense of what you’re playing by changing colors and position based on the keys you press. When you connect your MIDI device and Nocturne begins receiving messages, you’ll see a subtle Aurora Borealis-like effect appear at the bottom of the screen. Nocturne’s cool, nighttime theme goes beyond just its color choices. We took these ideas very seriously and created an app that puts both usability and visual appeal at the forefront. Feedback, in particular, is much more than just adornment-it must also serve a distinct and important purpose. We put a lot of thought into not only how each piece of Nocturne looks, but how it’s structured, presented, and what sorts of interaction and feedback it provides.

When you’ve got something worth keeping, you’ll want to use the right tool for the job: share your MIDI file with a computer for additional editing and mastering. Nocturne also includes a broad and natural set of piano sounds, and it even includes an on-screen keyboard so you can save your ideas no matter when and where they strike. No arranging, no resetting between takes, just you and your ideas as they come.ĭesigned with electric pianos in mind, Nocturne supports not just the sustain pedal, but also the soft and sostenuto pedals so you can capture the most complete, faithful MIDI representation of your performance. It’s all designed to get out of the way, to own the essentials and leave out the fluff. When you’re ready to record another take, just tap the record button again. When you’re done, tap to play a track and drag the yellow indicator back and forth to hear a specific part. Just connect your controller to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (adapters may be required) and tap the record button. Nocturne is the simplest, fastest way to record your solo performances from a MIDI device.
