Well, even if things have improved (I’ve sent the mail to find out), it won’t 
happen tomorrow or anything like it – it’s probably going to be the new year 
before I have any serious time to look at this, but I’d like one of their 
keyboard controllers myself, so it’s something I’d like to do.

 

Best wishes.

That would be excellent.  I had no idea.

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?
