I don't get it. This should work out of the box, shouldn't it? At least with the mixer? I haven't changed anything to any behaviour of the pots. It seems like the hardware and Automap totally disagree on something. They should be controlling the Send levels on the tracks in the mixer. And whatever else on different VSTs

I tried set one of them up the same way as the ones on the second row of rotaries but it didn't work at all. I've tried every seting I can imagine but nothing.

Hey Jackel!

I rellay appreciate your knowledge about this device and willingness to help me out

-I'm running Automap 4.2 (I think it was - it's the latest one)

-Mixer was selected - but problem occurs when trying to control FX and instruments as well.

-Automap is running - Icon is there and when hiting the view button it pops ut. All parameters are in the display as well, they respond to touch and I can even reassign them. Just when I try to move the encoders there's no change in value on the encoder rings nor in the software

-I am pretty sure that it's properly configured - but I'm thinking that there's something here that is the problem. But it's a pretty fool proof setup process and even though I'm not a genious I'm pretty sure I manage to follow the instructions. The funny thing is that it's the same problem in Sonar, Live and Reason.


I know there's a template controlling Live and it's working fine. Even the encoders work like a charm there! Except when I'm trying to control an Automapped plugin inside Live, then they stop working. That's why I'm really confused about this. The hardware seem to be working nicely but not some link between the encoders and Automap, as if they are locked to the value in the software. But I can't figure out what it is.

I've tried contacting Novation tech support and I'm awaiting a reply. I've also posted in the Novation forum (saw your post there too) but that's quiet like a grave and VERY tedious to post in


I'm thinking of trying it on a different computer with Sonar and Live loaded and see if it works there.

Glad you got it working.

I was really baffled there, as the basic functionality should have been easy.

Man you had me stumped.  I was about to offer to setup a goto meeting with you.

Just doing a search here and can't seem to find anything..thought I'd maybe ask in this thread. Sonar. Automap. Busses. Doesn't seem possible? I can't find any way to control the busses with my Zero SL MKII. Seems it wouldn't be a problem in something like Protools where you have all the busses/sends just as tracks whereever you want them, but the seperate bus section of Sonar seems impossible to access??

Thanks! Good news but that's not the case for me at the moment... In any project old or new, the page button is disabled, and automap says page 1/1. It works to move between sets of 8 tracks, but nothing else.

I have a thread open here with more detail http://forum.cakewalk.com...508922&mpage=1#2508922

I have one, and I'm "meh" about it, but I think that's mostly because I didn't think out the install correctly.
 
From what I gather, if you're going to Automap you should really re-think your folder structure. I suppose what you would want is a dedicated Automap folder so you can ID them easily? I'd say just move the old ones out and put them on "standby" somewhere in case you need them again..but older projects would then be a giant pain.
 
I constantly find myself not in the proper SONAR template and have to do the laborious reconnection process. Plus, the correct template # is hidden in an obscure bit of documentation I can never find when I need it. Ugh.
 
I think novation should make a "super nocturn" device that has nothing but that single "magic knob" (or whatever they call it) that lets you immediately map a parameter and use it...but like 20 of them.
