To control a plug-in, you must first enable it for Automap control in the Plug-in Manager. Once enabled it will be ‘wrapped’.
This means that a new version of the plug-in will be created, which is contained within our Automap software. The new
Automap-wrapped plug-in will appear in your sequencer with ‘(Automap)’ after its original name. Load the Automap-wrapped
plug-in in your sequencer to allow Automap control over it. The plug-in will look exactly the same as before, with the
exception of an Automap border at the bottom of the window, from which you can access Automap features.
When you load an Automap-wrapped plug-in, the plug-in parameters will be automatically mapped to the SL Compact
controls. You can open as many Automap-wrapped plug-ins as you like but you can only control one at a time from the SL
Compact. To select a different plug-in for control, click on the Automap logo in the bottom-left hand corner of the plug-in
window or, on the SL Compact, press and hold SHIFT (also labelled DRUMPADS) and use the PAGE UP/DOWN buttons to
scroll the available plug-ins.
To control the mixer in Cubase or Sonar, first follow the Cubase or Sonar set up instructions in the following sections of this
user guide. After that, press and hold SHIFT on the SL Compact and use the PAGE UP/DOWN buttons to scroll to Cubase
[Mixer] and Sonar [your session name]. The mixer parameters will then be automatically mapped to the SL Compact
controls. Automap Universal mixer control support for other sequencers will be added in future updates.
Mixer Automap
There are separate Automap templates on the SL Compact to allow mixer control over sequencers that do not use Automap
Universal for mixer control. These are Pro Tools (template 34), Reason (template 37), Logic (template 39), Live (template
40) and Digital Performer (installed as template 34 instead of Pro Tools if selected during installation). These work
differently to Automap Universal in that the SL Compact communicates directly with the sequencer when using these
templates, rather than through the Automap Universal Server software.
Each sequencer has its own set up procedure, detailed in the following sections. Once the set up procedure is complete,
the SL Compact will automatically switch to the relevant template each time you open your sequencer. You are free to
switch from this template to any other on the unit (to control other software or hardware) and back again. This includes the
Automap Universal template for when you want to control plug-ins.
All Mixer Automap templates include some means for controlling plug-ins. This should be used where it is not possible to
use Automap Universal for plug-in control, i.e. for those that use an unsupported or proprietary plug-in format, or where you
find it easier than using Automap Universal.
