Anyone Here Have Experience with Novation Impulse & AutoMap

Howdy... I posted this in hardware as well although there doesn't look to be a lot of issue with this situation. I don't know a thing about "automap" and have never used an external controller for any Cakewalk product. It seems to be a darn good thing to have and the Impulse triggers soft synths well with a great feel to the keys IMHO. Can anyone help explain this process to me? I can't understand it at this time, although I will be studying how to use it! Thanks!

    While this seemed like overkill at first, I ended up learning a lot about how to configure the keyboard and to use automap.  And the Impulse manual is a bit 'off' in places, so that doesn't help.  Make sure you download the latest Automap, which is 4.5 at the moment.

    Okay, I looked at your message in the other section.  One thing that may be a problem is that I don't think Automap recognizes X2 yet so it doesn't step you through the SONAR setup.

    If you haven't already, go to the directory where you installed Automap (C:\Program Files (x86)\Novation\Automap on my system).  In there look for the directory "Setup Guides".  Under that will be a directory for SONAR X!, and under that directories for various devices inclding the Impulse controllers.  Pick the one you have, and follow the steps in the rtf files where it tells you how to configure the control surface in SONAR.

    watch the first bit.. and it'll give you the option in the video for sonar

    it's tricky as I modified my SL Mk2 and it messed up for other things outside sonar (cubase / reason)

    I want to reset it to default 100% as in factory bought, and it never reverted back to that after the changes using their editor + the tech support layout change thing.

    Yes, Automap does not recognize X2 at the moment.  This will be corrected in a future release.  For the moment, follow the instructions from winds350 above to access the Setup Guide.

    If you still cannot get the Impulse working with Automap and X2, please contact Novation support through this link:

    Also, Fog, please contact support at the above link regarding your SL MK2 so that we can help you restore it to the factory default settings.
