We have already created default mappings for some popular plug-ins that are installed on your system by the ReMOTE
ZeRO SL installer. If you open an Automap-wrapped instance of a plug-in for which we have created a default mapping, the
parameters will be mapped to the ReMOTE ZeRO SL in the order in which we programmed them rather than the order in
which they are presented by the plug-in.
7.6 DeFAULT AND INSTANCe CONTROL MAPS
When you use the ‘Set As Default’ option, the Automap Server saves the current control map as an *.automap file, named
according to the plug-in it was created with, in the following location:
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Novation\Automap Universal\
Mappings\ReMOTE SL
Win Vista: C:\Users\[your user name]\Local\AppData\Novation\Automap Universal\Mappings\ReMOTE SL
Mac OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Novation/Automap Universal/Mappings/ReMOTE SL
That control map will then be recalled every time you load an instance of the corresponding plug-in into a sequencer
session. This is a ‘default’ control map.
When you load an Automap-wrapped plug-in into a session, the Automap system will automatically store a control map for
that instance of the plug-in without you having to use the ‘Save As…’ or ‘Set As Default’ options. This is an ‘instance’ control
map and it will only be recalled for that instance of the plug-in in that particular session. Any changes you make to the
control map for that plug-in instance will be automatically saved to the instance control map when you save your sequencer
session and automatically recalled when you next load the session.
The default and instance control maps make up the content of the *.mappings file which is created when you use the
‘Export Control Maps’ option. If you transfer a session which uses Automap-wrapped plug-ins from one computer to
another then, after importing the *.mappings file, both the default and the instance control maps will be recalled.

.7 eDITING A CONTROL MAP
Clearing Controls
To clear a parameter from one of the ReMOTE ZeRO SL’s controls simply open up the Automap Universal window in Control
Map View, use the mouse to select the control you want to clear and press Backspace or Delete.
Clearing parameters can be useful where a parameter has a long name that does not fit in the 8-character space on the
display above it. If you want to see the full parameter name on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL display (rather than an abbreviation
of it) then clear the control to the right of it. The ReMOTE ZeRO SL will automatically use the extra blank display space to
show the full parameter name.
If you want to completely change how the parameters of a plug-in are mapped to the ReMOTE ZeRO SL then use the ‘Clear
All Controls’ option so that you can start creating a control map from scratch.
Learning Controls
Software parameters can only be learned to the encoders, pots, sliders, upper left buttons, lower left buttons and upper
right buttons on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL. To learn a parameter to a control on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL activate either Learn
Once or Learn Latch. Next use the mouse to alter the parameter you want to assign and then operate the control on the
ReMOTE ZeRO SL that you want to assign it to. The parameter will then be mapped to that control. Learn Once and Learn
Latch can be activated in one of the following four ways:
•
Selecting Learn Once or Learn Latch from the drop-down menu which appears when you click the Novation logo on the
Automap border
• Clicking the crosshair on the Automap border (this activates Learn Once)
