Automap Mode
Normally, selection of Automap mode on Impulse will be completely automatic. When you first
connect Impulse to your computer, before you launch your music software, you will see that the
LED in the
MIDI
button [11] is lit. This means that Impulse is in ‘manual’ mode, and ready for
use as a general-purpose MIDI controller. When you launch your music software, Automap 4
will also auto-launch, the
MIDI
LED will go out, and the
Plugin
and
Mixer
LEDs will illuminate.
Impulse is now ready for use with Automap 4.
The Automap Mapping Editor
1. Encoders
In your DAW, select the plug-in you want to control. Open the Automap Mapping Editor window
(single-click the Automap icon in the Menu Bar (Mac) or double-click System Tray (Windows)),
and make sure that the encoder section in the image of the Impulse has a red rectangle around
it. If not, click on the encoder area.
This will display the first of several pages (number will vary with plug-in) graphically
representing the rotary encoders.
This window will tell you which parameter of the plug-in has been assigned to each encoder by
Automap 4, and its current value. Adjusting any encoder will change the value displayed in the
window, and you should also be able to see the equivalent control on the plug-in itself varying.
Most plug-ins have considerably more than 8 parameters, so additional pages are provided by
Automap 4, which can be accessed on two ways:
• From Impulse – press
Shift
+
Plugin
and
Shift
+
MIDI
(
Page Up
/
Page Down
) to scroll
through the available pages in either direction;
• From Automap – click the
Page Up
and
Page Down
icons in the Mapping Editor
window’s toolbar.
