What if you want to control more than one plugin at a time via automap? then you're better off using traditional midi mapping. the live automap template leaves the 8 rotary pots free for this kind of mapping, or otherwise you could create a user template. but the SL doesn't respond to midi feedback...

Re: Why does automap suck?

Does the keyboard Automap to control whatever the front active window is? For example, I click on a Sampler instrument, and then the keyboard automatically loads the map template and the little LCDs above the little knobs show the parameter for each? sort of... if you're using the live template, th...

4. 'Automap Focus Follows Plug-in UI' setting has no effect (the manual states 'activating this causes the SL to map to which ever plug-in is currently selected in your DAW' - I still have to manually enable the 'A' on the automap strip to get the remote to switch plugin mappings) this setting appe...

i use a spare button on my logitech mouse mapped to ctrl+b. couldn't live without it!

the other buttons are mapped to tab, shift+tab, zoom in, zoom out, and the hand tool (for panning around the arrange window).

+1 for this. perhaps there could also be an option to show the plugin window for which ever track is highlighted? i know this can be done by enabling multiple plug in windows and auto hide, but this doesn't work properly with the "automap follows focus" option of the novation SL automap so...

But I'm running Live 7. And it's still the same as it was in Live 5 (apple+P). that's weird, i'm running live 7 and it's alt+cmd+p, even though the info view describes it wrong. anyway, what i'm finding is that if i save and reopen a live set, all my plug in windows default to closed, and the keybo...

i'm on a mac pro 10.4. the only real glitch i've noticed is when using the sl to change presets on some vsts (e.g. predator), there's a short glitch in the master out. but i don't know if that's automap related. i guess you already checked your midi ports setup in live to rule out some kind of feedb...

hi it's possible to select the rack via Macki Control Emulation : hey circuitb, which ports on the SL are you using for the mackie emulation? according to the SL documentation, ports 1, 2 & 3 are all reserved for the host automation / automap automation. which only leaves the external midi port...

New Novation Controller - Nocturn

Look's like Novation may have finally got it right on this one. 8 automapped rotary encoders with BCR style LED rings, a cross fader and a speed dial. The on-screen HUI makes sense, as does the price.
