Automap is a free application that comes with all Novation controllers.

It provides easy access to your DAW and plug-ins so you can get hands-on control of your music software.

Automap features an edit page that graphically shows what is assigned to which knob, fader or button on the hardware.

It also has a notification system that pops up in the corner of your monitor to let you know you what you are controlling when you move a knob, slider or button.
