So many controllers promise customers hands-on control of their music software and fail to deliver. Novation controllers are different; they come with Novation's revolutionary new Automap 4 software.
Automap is a piece of software that comes with all Novation controllers.
It makes it fast and simple to control your music software with knobs,
buttons and faders. It has been used by many top musician/producers
since 2006.
Impulse gives you control over the mixer, transport and plug-ins of all
major DAWs, as well as plug-in instruments and effects that don’t come
with your DAW, like Native Instruments, Waves or FXpansion. Automap
enables you to see instantly which knobs, faders and buttons are
controlling which part of your software. It also makes it easy to
quickly change what the knobs are controlling.
Automap has a software edit page that looks just like the Impulse
control surface. This labels what each knob, fader and button is
controlling, because with so many things in your DAW and plug-ins, it is
easy to lose track of what is assigned to what. You can hide this window
once you are finished with it, so you can continue making music.
Impulse’s controls can be used to control your plug-in instruments and effects. When you open a software instrument/effect, the 8 knobs will already be linked to commonly used parameters. If you want to control different things in your software, just press the ‘Learn’ button, click on the software parameter, and wiggle the knob that you want to control it. This way you can get hands on control of exactly what you want almost instantly.
