Novation Automap 3 Pro

Novation unveils Automap 3 Pro, the latest incarnation of its intelligent software system that enables Novation's MIDI controllers to flawlessly handle your plug-ins.
For the first time, Automap 3 Pro supports multiple hardware devices. This enables any of Novation's hardware controllers to be stacked within the Automap server. Multiple Novation controllers can then work side by side to access separate parameters on different plug-ins simultaneously. This benefits both performing musicians and studio-producers, all of whom need immediate access to multiple plug-ins at the touch of a button.
Another key new feature is the ability to drag and drop parameters between controls, making re-assignment incredibly simple. Equally exciting is 'Autoview', which when activated, automatically displays Automap 3 PRO on-screen as soon as a hardware control is touched, and then hides the GUI after release.
Automap 3 Pro also includes all of the features of Automap Universal 2.0. It allows hardware controllers to interact with plug-in instruments and effects. Opening up any Automappable plug-in instantly maps parameters to physical controls on Novation's SL- and Nocturn controllers. These can be re-assigned using an ultra-quick 'learn' mode, which simply involves clicking the on-screen parameter and touching the desired hardware controller.
When booted up, Automap 3 Pro features an all-new start-up screen, which includes an automatic software updater, access to online tutorials and support, and DAW-specific set-up guides. Multiple Device and Plug-in management tasks can also be accessed directly from this screen, ensuring quick and convenient maintenance of multiple clients and hardware units in even the most complex set-up. Automap 3 Pro also now has integrated HUI control, allowing hardware mixer control for all HUI compatible DAW's directly from Automap Pro 3.
Automap 3 Pro is available to all existing Automap users for £19.99/$29.95. A reduced-feature Automap 3 Standard is also available as a free download from their website, and will include a few of Automap 3 Pro's features, but will not support multiple devices.
