The Automap Universal Window - Novation ReMOTE SL User Manual

Page 2 – Control Map Menu
Buttons 1 & 2 - Main Menu: Press these to return to the Main Menu (1st page of options).
Button 3 - Add Page: Creates another page of assignable controls for the selected control map. You can create as
many pages as you like.
Button 4 - Remove Page: Removes the currently selected page.
Button 6 - Clear All: Clears all controls of their current assignment.
Button 7 - Set As Default: Saves the current control map as the default control map for that client.
Button 8 - Rebuild Map: Reverts the parameter mapping to the default order exported by the client.
Other functions available on the Automap Universal template are:
LEFT-HAND SCROLL Buttons: Press these to scroll through the different pages of assignable controls for the
currently selected control map. Also press and hold the DRUM PAD ROW-SELECT button and then press the LEFT-
HAND SCROLL buttons to scroll through all available control maps and select a different one for Automap control. The
available control maps will appear on the left-hand ReMOTE SL display in the order of most recently used, from the left.
RIGHT-HAND SCROLL Buttons: Press these to select different plug-in presets. Preset navigation will only work where
a plug-in uses the host preset navigation system, rather than its own built-in one.
Transport Buttons: These buttons will control the transport in your sequencer. The Automap Server uses ReWire to
allow transport control and you may need to enable the Automap Server as a ReWire input in your sequencer before
the transport buttons will work (instructions for this are given later in this guide where necessary). Note that the
record button will not work, as the record function is not available though ReWire.
If you use Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar or Tracktion and have set up Automap Universal mixer control then the record button
will work since, in this case, transport commands are sent directly to the host rather than using ReWire.
TAP TEMPO Button and DATA/SELECT Encoder: The Automap Universal Server also uses ReWire to allow tempo
control over your sequencer. Use the TAP TEMPO button or the DATA/SELECT encoder (set to tempo mode) to control
the tempo in your sequencer. The 'BPMPort' setting in the Global menu on the ReMOTE SL must be set to 'ON' for
tempo control to work (this ensures the ReMOTE SL sends ReWire tempo messages when you change tempo – see
section 11). You can use these controls to set the tempo in your sequencer regardless of which template is selected on
the ReMOTE SL, however if the Automap Universal Server is not running the tempo controls will not work.

7.3 THE AUTOMAP UNIVERSAL WINDOW

The Automap Universal Window allows viewing of control assignments, control maps and help information. This window
can be opened by:
• Launching the Automap Server (if 'Show View Window On Startup' is enabled in the Automap settings menu)
• Selecting 'Interactive Help' from the Automap Universal Help menu (Mac) or Automap settings menu (PC)
• Pressing either the VIEW, USER, FX, INST. or MIXER button on the ReMOTE SL
The window opens over all other currently open windows. It cannot be moved to the background, however you can set it to
be semi-transparent from the Automap settings menu. The window can be closed by:
• Clicking the close icon in the top corner of the window
• Pressing the VIEW button on the ReMOTE SL
The window can be resized to be as big or small as you like. There are three different views – Control Map View, Browser
View and Help View.
