3.8 savInG a control maPWhen you have finished clearing controls, assigning parameters and adjusting control settings, you can save the controlmap. To save it as the default control map, which loads when you open an Automap-wrapped instance of that plug-in, usethe ‘Set As Default’ option.It is possible to save the control map without making it the default control map. An example of where this would be usefulis when using Native Instruments’ Reaktor, where you may use different control maps for the different ensembles availablewithin Reaktor, and a single default control map is not useful. Use the ‘Save As…’ option to save a control map as a*.automap file to any location on your computer.Whether you use the ‘Set As Default’ or ‘Save As..’ option to save a control map, the name, max value, min value, step sizevalue and parameter assigned to each control will be stored. The instance name (see section 3.7) is not stored. Instancenames for all Automap-wrapped plug-ins in a sequencer project are stored automatically when you close the project andwill be recalled when you next load it. It is not necessary to save individual control map instances of plug-ins as they aresaved within your sequencer session.To load a previously saved control map, you must first load an Automap-wrapped instance of the plug-in it was createdwith. This will automatically load the default control map for that plug-in. Ensure the plug-in has Automap focus and thenuse the ‘Open…’ option to load the previously saved control map.3.9 the sPeed dIalThe Speed Dial can be pushed in and rotated to select presets on the plug-in with Automap focus. This will only workwhere a plug-in uses the host’s preset system. Some plug-ins, often those with lots of presets, have their own built-inpreset system. If this is the case, preset navigation from the Speed Dial will not work. The currently selected preset nameand number are shown in the Control Map View of the Automap Universal window.The Speed Dial can also be used to control any parameter currently displayed on your screen. All you need to do is restthe mouse cursor over that parameter and then rotate the Speed Dial (without pushing it in). This applies to absolutelyanything you can change with the mouse, including scrolling windows, searching through drop-down menus etc.4. controllInG a sequencer mIxer WIthautomaP unIversalAt the time of writing, only the following sequencers support Automap Universal Mixer Control:Cakewalk Sonar (6.2 or later)Mackie Tracktion (3 or later)Steinberg Cubase (SX3/SL3/SE3/LE4 or later)Steinberg Nuendo (3 or later)Make sure that you have the latest updates for your sequencer installed before setting up Automap mixer control.Support for other programs will be included in future updates so keep an eye on www.novationmusic.com for update news.You will need to follow the relevant set up instructions for your sequencer, given in sections 4.1 to 4.3. After you havedone so, a control map for your sequencer mixer will appear in the Mixer group of control maps. This control map willappear each time you subsequently start your sequencer and disappear when you quit it. Only one control map can be usedto control a sequencer mixer – you cannot create more control maps for the same sequencer mixer. However, rememberthat, as with any other control map, you can create as many pages in the mixer control map as you like.The default parameter mapping for the mixer control map is track levels assigned to the encoders and track mutes tothe buttons. If there are more than 8 tracks in the currently loaded project, the control map will have extra pages toaccommodate them. |
