Novation has just announced the release of Automap 3 Standard and Automap 3 Pro, the latest incarnations of its intelligent software system. Automap is unique to Novation's MIDI controllers, and has now been enhanced with a wealth of eagerly anticipated features. Until now Automap had focused on plug-in control, but exciting developments bring a new level of DAW control.

Automap 3 PRO supports multiple hardware devices. This enables any of Novation's hardware controllers to be stacked within the Automap server (software). Mutiple Novation controllers can then work side by side to access separate parameters on different plug-ins.

The new 'Keystroke Assignment' feature enables Automap 3 PRO to assign almost any computer keyboard shortcut to hardware controls, giving you access to navigation and other features from your SL or Nocturn controller.

You can now assign parameters in the Automap Server (software) to the XY pad, expression pedal, control pedal and drum pads. This means that Automap's ultra-quick 'learn' facility can now be used on all of the above.

Another key new feature in PRO is the ability to drag and drop parameters between controls, making re-assignment incredibly simple.

When activated the 'Autoview' feature automatically displays Automap 3 PRO on-screen as soon as a hardware control is touched, and then hides the GUI after release.

Automap 3 is available in two forms, Automap 3 Standard and Automap 3 PRO. Automap 3 Standard is a free download and Automap 3 PRO (which has extra features) is available to download for £19.99 / $24.99. No matter what music software you use, Automap offers an instant controlling solution for all your plug-ins. It supports VST, AU and Pro Tools (TDM/RTAS) plug-in formats (TDM/RTAS support is currently Mac only. PC will follow soon).

You must be logged in as a registered member to use this feature!
