Novation impulse and Live 8 -> not a rant , help needed
Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:10 pm
I'm new to the impulse and there are two, quite major things I can't achieve (Using Live 8.2.8 )
- I want to map the faders to plugins, the same way encoders work . In the automap softare,
I can edit the mappings for the encoders, but if I click on the faders, on the picture, I have the following message :
Is there another mode for the faders, besides MIDI and mixer ?
I know I still can use midi mode for the faders, and use the normal Ableton midi learn procedure (select plugin, click configure, move control, then click on ableton's MIDI button and map the fader) but I expected an improvement thanks to the almighty automap. Or at least be able to use the impulse 's "learn" button. Both things work with encoders but not with the faders. Am I missing something ?
- I've seen on a lot of videos the cool, semi-transparent Automap overlay which indicates what control is mapped to what function. However, I don't have this on my system. Instead, if I move an encoder, I have a notification fo the parameter I'm being changing. That's nice but there's no way to get a more global overview of the current page. Besides, on the impulse, when you change pages, the current page number ins't even displayed ! So most of the time, I have no idea what parameter is behind a given encoder until I turn it.
Any ideas ?
