8.3 TRACKTION SeTUP
1. Connect the ReMOTE ZeRO SL to your computer, switch it on and launch the Automap Server.
2. Launch Tracktion and go to the ‘Control Surfaces’ page of the settings.
3. Select ‘Novation Automap Universal’ in the ‘Supported Control Surfaces’ list and click ‘Enable’ in the properties panel.
4. Select the ‘MIDI’ page of the Tracktion settings and make sure ReMOTE SL ports 2 and 3 are disabled, then open a
project and start controlling!
When the Tracktion mixer control map is selected, the encoders on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL will be unassigned because the
tracks in a Traction project do not, by default, have any aux sends to control. To control send level you must add an aux
send filter to a track and then learn the send level to a control on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL.
The ‘Map Native Filters’ and ‘Map VST Plug-ins’ options shown in the Novation Automap Universal properties panel allow
you to control Tracktion’s native filters and also non-Automap-wrapped VST plug-ins running in Tracktion. This is not the
same as controlling Automap-wrapped VST plug-ins, which can also be loaded into Tracktion, because the ReMOTE ZeRO
SL is communicating with the filters and VST plug-ins via the Automap Server and Tracktion, rather than just via the
Automap Server. This has certain implications that are explained below.
When these options are enabled, a control map will be added to one of the four control map groups when you add a new
native filter or non-wrapped VST plug-in. It will be put in the correct group, according to whether the filter is an instrument,
effect or something else (e.g. an aux send filter will be put in the User group). You can select different filters or VST plug-
ins (wrapped and non-wrapped) to control from the Browser View of the Automap Universal window. If ‘Automap Focus
Follows Plug-in UI’ is enabled in the Automap settings (see section 6.3) you can also select different filters and VST plug-
ins to control by simply clicking on them in the main Tracktion window. Click on a volume/pan filter to select the Tracktion
mixer control map.
