What's new At NAMM 2011 for Novation?
"NAMM 2011 see's Novation announce Automap 3.8 which brings tighter integration for Waves users, and the launch of the massive Golden Ticket campaign during which over $5,000 worth of special edition gold Novation, Rane and Serato gear will be given away. Novation will also be marking the global availability of the new UltraNova synthesiser.
Automap 3.8
Automap is control software that comes free with all Novation controllers. The latest update provides total integration with all Waves plug-ins - just open up a Waves plug-in and it will automatically map to Novation hardware (this will require the forth-coming Waves update). Automap runs with Novation's SL MkII and Nocturn ranges of controllers. It is universally recognised as a powerful control solution and includes features such as 'Learn' which enables instant mapping of software parameters to hardware controls.
Golden Ticket Campaign
Novation have teamed up with Rane, Serato and Loopmasters to launch the Golden Ticket campaign. We won't be showing people around Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, but we will be giving away 25 pairs of special edition gold Dicers, five gold Launchpads, 50 pairs of special edition Golden Ticket Serato control vinyl, and a gold Rane Sixty-Eight mixer!
Golden Tickets can be found inside every special edition box of Rane SL1 and SL3 interfaces as well as TTM 57SL and Sixty-Eight mixers. Every single ticket unlocks over 500MB of Loopmasters sample content hand picked by the Loopmasters team - including the samples used by Blakey in the Golden Dicer video.

The UltraNova is newly available worldwide and is already making waves in the synth community…

Linndrum with JL Cooper MIDI
YouTube via neospheres | January 11, 2011
"Processed with Lexicon 224 program #5 'Percussion Plate'.
Please note: this is a just drum machine and doesn't come with any Michael Jackson basslines." [watch the full video]
via this auction "The machine is fitted with ZIF sockets for easy swapping of EPROMs (I did own a Prommer at one point) and evidently I have swapped some chips around as the 'clap' is on the 'sidestick' and 'sidestick' is on the 'cowbell'. An SCI Drumtraks kick sample is on the 'Clap'. I obviously had the need to have two kick samples rather than the cowbell - which I didn't feel the need for. I think I still have the Cowbell EPROM lying around (and maybe some other programmed chips) but I can't guarantee that I will find them. Please note that, as shown in the video, I was unable to get the Hi Conga to work. I am fairly sure this is down to the slider in the mixer section which may have come away from the track - it should be an easy fix. This machine is retro-fitted with the JL Cooper Midi interface. I haven't tested the MIDI functionality but I assume it to be working."
