Novation provide a software development kit for AutoMap.  I had the V3
version, but there were some problems with the sample code and I was pushed
for time, so couldn't mess around with it.  I'll see if I can get hold of
the V4 SDK and see if things have improved, as the basic software
architecture would make it relatively simple to create an AutoMap reader,
similar to the Mackie Display Reader I'm working on.

 

Best wishes.

yes do keep us informed, as I'd be very interested in getting one in the
future.

I had one but got really frustrated with the auto map 3, and ended up
returning it.

I happened to love my Remote Zero when I first bought it because I have low
vision enough to screw with it to get stuff done.  It's a pity because
they're so close.  I'm in touch with them every so often and hope for more
in the future.  haven't looked at automap 4 so don't know if  they've done
anything more with accessibility.  Why not write and ask?

Automap is not strictly accessible.  If you have sighted assistance or low
vision, you can use Automap in conjunction with Sonar's track templates to
make lots of stuff more useful.  I strongly suggest that more of us write to
Novation and impress upon them the potential value of the Automap system to
the blind if it were just a little more screenreader friendly.

Hi, everybody.

 

Novation just put out new controller keyboards called impulse. 25, 49 and 61
key keyboards with aftertouch no less, usb powered and using auto map 4.
Info says they can support sonar. 9 faders, 8 knobs, assignable buttons and
8 drum pads, too. The 61 key is in the $300 price range. Has anybody tried
the automap stuff and is it accessible? Wonder if this kind of controller
would be a benefit to us?
