7 CONTROLLING PLUG-INS WITH
AUTOMAP UNIVERSAL
The following sub-sections of this guide focus on using Automap Universal to control plug-ins, however much of the
information is relevant to controlling sequencer mixers and the Automap MIDI client. Therefore we suggest becoming
familiar with plug-in control before moving on to the next sections of this guide.

7. 1 AUTOMAP-WRAPPED PLUG-INS

An Automap-wrapped plug-in will appear in the list of plug-ins in your sequencer with "(Automap)" after its original name.
Load the Automap-wrapped version of a plug-in into your sequencer to allow Automap control over it. The plug-in will look
exactly the same as the original version but with an additional Automap border at the bottom of the window.
The Automap border allows access to Automap functions as follows:
Automap logo switch: This indicates which plug-in currently has 'Automap focus' i.e. which plug-in can currently be
controlled from the ReMOTE SL. It will be red for the plug-in which has Automap focus and white for all other plug-ins.
Click it when it is white to turn it red and give Automap focus to that plug-in. It will then automatically turn white on the
plug-in that previously had Automap focus. Note that if 'Automap Focus Follows Plug-in UI' is enabled (see section 6.3)
then simply selecting a different plug-in within your sequencer, with the mouse, will change which plug-in has
Automap focus.
Learn switch (crosshair): This indicates whether learn mode is currently active or not. It will be red when either Learn
Once or Learn Latch is active and white when learn mode is turned off. When it is red you can click it to disable learn
mode. When it is white you can click it to activate Learn Once. Learn mode is described in more detail in section 7.7.
Novation Logo: When clicked, this opens up a drop-down menu from which you can access some Control Map options.
More information is given on these in section 7.4.
Name Text Box: This serves two functions. Firstly, immediately after loading a plug-in or giving it Automap focus, it
displays the 'instance name' for that plug-in. Every instance of an Automap-wrapped plug-in will have its own instance
name that you can use for identification when selecting a control map. You can change the instance name by clicking on
the box, typing in a new name and pressing enter.
Secondly, once a control on the ReMOTE SL has been operated, it displays the control name. Once again you can
change the control name by clicking on the box, typing in a new name and pressing enter.
