Automap is designed to make the task of assigning your hardware controls to various software parameters quick and easy.

Despite having knobs and sliders, most MIDI controllers aren't particularly good at controlling plug-ins. It is difficult to assign the controls and you can't see what is controlling which part of your music software.

Automap enables knobs, faders and buttons to instantly control plug-in instruments/FX, as well as your sequencer's mixer, transport controls and more...

Automap Features:

• Automatic plug-in mapping: All automatable VST, AU or Pro Tools format plug-ins need just be opened in any DAW for instant control.
• Heads-up transparent GUI: Automap provides a transparent control map across your computer screen, so you can see at a glance how every parameter is assigned.
• Learn and Clear modes: Make and delete assignments directly from your computer screen using lightning-fast click and touch facilities.
• Automatic Mixer control: A growing number of supported DAWs allow comprehensive control of the mixer via the Automap software (Non-supported DAWs can be controlled using separate dedicated Automap systems).
• Plug-in and Mixer map browsing facility: Get to the right software fast. Control maps are automatically placed into categories depending on type (instrument, mixer etc.) for quick and easy browsing and selection with hardware or software.
• MIDI integration: 16 standard MIDI control maps (totaling 2048 separate controls) can be created to be used alongside plug-in and mixer maps - ideal for software with a MIDI learn facility.
