Conguring your DAW for Automap 4 control
Automap 4 has two separate tasks to perform in your DAW, and needs to be correctly
congured to enable full control by Impulse. Firstly, you need to enable your various
plug-ins for use with Automap 4. This will not affect their normal operation in any way, however,
once enabled, you will be able to alter their parameters from Impulse. Secondly, you need to
congure your DAW so that its audio mixer can be controlled by Impulse. Automap 4 includes a
simple setup procedure to allow you to do this.
