9.3 ASSIGNING MIDI MeSSAGeS
The Control Map View of the Automap Universal window will look as follows when a MIDI control map is selected:
The default MIDI control map has 129 assigned controls across multiple pages. Each control is assigned to a different
MIDI Control Change (CC) number, starting from 0 and going up to 127, plus an extra control at the end assigned to pitch
bend. This is how the controls will be mapped when you activate a MIDI channel, however you can change the default MIDI
control map by reassigning the controls and using the ‘Set As Default’ option.
To change the MIDI message that a control is assigned to, click on it with the mouse and then select a different message
from the drop-down menu which appears when you click on the ‘Paramter’ box in the control settings section of the
window. Only MIDI CC 0-127 and pitch bend messages are available. The controls will be named by default with the MIDI
message they are assigned to send, however you can change the control name to whatever you like by clicking on it in the
control layout section of the window, typing in a new name and pressing Enter to confirm, or Escape to cancel. The max,
min and step size values will have the same effect over the parameter you are controlling as described in section 7.8.

.4 USING LeARN MODe TO ASSIGN MIDI MeSSAGeS
Since the MIDI client can receive MIDI data, it is possible to use learn mode to assign MIDI messages to controls on the
ReMOTE ZeRO SL. When learn mode is active the Automap Server will listen for MIDI messages on the MIDI client’s MIDI
input port. It will only listen for the messages which can be assigned to controls i.e. MIDI CC and pitch bend messages.
After a MIDI message is received, simply operate a control on the ReMOTE ZeRO SL to assign it to that message.
9.5 SAVING A MIDI CONTROL MAP
Once you have finished clearing, assigning and renaming controls you can save the MIDI control map to a *.automap file
using the ‘Save As…’ option. When you activate a MIDI channel you can load in a saved control map using the ‘Open…’
option (the MIDI channel is not stored with the MIDI control map). If you use the ‘Set As Default’ option then that MIDI
control map will be recalled every time you activate a MIDI channel from the Automap settings menu.
When you quit the Automap Server, the MIDI input and output port settings, the currently active MIDI channels, and all
control assignments in their MIDI control maps are automatically stored. On launching the Automap Server again all
Automap MIDI client settings and MIDI control maps will be restored. This means that if you have a permanent music-
making set up, you do not have to worry about re-activating MIDI channels or importing MIDI control maps every time you
sit down to make music.
