Have only just found this thread, excellent stuff, You should ask the admin to create a new group i.e. Nektar as I can see this thread getting too long and it would be nice just to include updates only and then you can have other development threads

I have the Skrock Aurora all mapped out, I will send it over to you tomorrow as I can't see a way to post it without losing the white spaces (tabs).

Quick question is there away to display the "Knobs" with labels ? (the knobs above the faders, I know you can use the mixer mode however that does not display labels and as there this away to set labels one would have thought they could have been displayed)

Thanks..

That's good news Carly. Is it a remote map or a Nektar map? If it is a general remote map it should probably go to the Remote Map list that is at the top of the Rack Extensions Forum. Nektar maps are of course specific by the codec but by all means... if it is a Nektar map gladly post as an attachment.

Answering your question, labels for knobs 1-8 on a Nektar is through the lines :

Map Name Element 1 "Tune" Instrument

Name Element 1 as an example is the label under Knob 1. It would accompany

Map Ch Knob 1 Remote Target Name Instrument

These two map the target and label on a page within the map.

Hi,

It's a Nektar map (wohoo)

also talking "Knobs" not "ch Knobs" the labels are along the lines of "Fader Name Element 5e" but I have not seen away to display them, i.e. would be nice to be able to display them like the normal "ch Knobs"...

Mapping file attached, had to rename it as a txt file to attach it.
PanoramaAurora.txt
(35.51 KiB) Downloaded 288 times
I moved away from the standard setup, i.e. master volume is on "Knob 1" instead of "Fader 9"
What I wanted to achieve was to have most Knob, Faders and Buttons mapped as default, in this case no buttons were mapped as defaults would have been bypass and post, did not make sense.

Default settings
Knobs above the faders
Knob 1 Master Volume
Knob 2 OSC 1 Vol
Knob 3 OSC 2 Vol
Knob 4 OSC 3 Vol
Knob 5 OSC 1 Pan
Knob 6 OSC 2 Pan
Knob 7 OSC 3 Pan
Knob 8 Glide

Knobs to the right of the display
Ch Knob 1 Osc 1 Wave Select
Ch Knob 2 Osc 2 Wave Select
Ch Knob 3 Osc 3 Wave Select
Ch Knob 4 Filter Cutoff
Ch Knob 5 Osc 1 X-Mod
Ch Knob 6 Osc 2 X-Mod
Ch Knob 7 Osc 3 X-Mod
Ch Knob 8 Filter Reso

Fader 1 Amp Attack
Fader 2 Amp Decay
Fader 3 Amp Sustain
Fader 4 Amp Release
Fader 5 Filter Attack
Fader 6 Filter Decay
Fader 7 Filter Sustain
Fader 8 Filter Release
Fader 9 Filter Env Amt


Of course I have mapped everything via the menu system as well.

There is a little bug in the menu system, on the home page I wanted the display buttons to stay highlighted when selected, which work, however say you went to the LFO menu page and select a different LFO, when you go back to the home page that button is highlighted from the LFO page, it does not effect anything, just a display thing, (I did have it where the display buttons did not highlight but I thought it would be better having them stay highlighted for the page being displayed), sorry that probably was not explained that well, try it if you can. :puf_smile:

BTW this is all new to me so I'm still learning (the hard way) LOL

Carly,

For a first time the effort is excellent! So if you can load into the remote map and not get an error ("X") when you load you are always on the right path even if they don't do exactly what you want. ;) It is ok to navigate away from the standard (set forth by Nektar) if you have to. In cases where the device needs say Fader 9 I would compromise the standard volume. But staying within the accepted practices for the community sake is also important. I can appreciate mapping as many controls at once to give someone the most available but remember that you can only display one page which leaves the user to have to remember what controls not shown are mapped to. The alternative is to create another exact map for that page that you link to by say using an X button giving them the option to visual those controls as well. Just a thought.

I try to do as much as I can to the encoders to the right of the display. Your ch Knobs to be exact. Firstly they are endless encoders so any movement registers a value change unlike the faders which are a active on "catch" type control. This meaning to have to move the fader to the target value before it will make the change. This agitates some people. It is good on mix controls and I have found generally feels good on drawboards. Other than that I try to avoid them if not necessary.

Each of the controls on the faders/knob/button section have labels but they are small so give consideration to that. They are about 4 letters so abbreviations are almost necessary in all cases. You of course when making a navigation to that page call it up by giving the page type a "ENV" type opposed to the INST call. The associated label names are shown below. Keep in mind this forum does not display proper white spacing but I think you'll understand the label/button/knob/fader associations.

On the home page I have done that however (and it's a BIG however) I can't see anyway of displaying the labels for the "Knobs" (above the faders).
I did not use ENV but used FADERS instead as that seam to work better on the home page, I have a button for FADERS which display faders and buttons both with labels, MIXER shows Faders (with lables), Buttons (no labels) and "Knobs" (no labels), INST mode that shows the "ch Knobs" with labels, checking all other examples I don't think it can be done, but maybe I'm missing a trick, don't know if you could ping your person at Nektar?

TBH I totally agree about the faders, really wished they were motorised :D however I do find them useful for mapping ADSR envelopes to them, probably a throw back to all the synth manuals that always have the pretty diagram for showing ADSR and with faders it's a visual thing for me (if you know what I mean)..


Thanks for your feedback, still think there should be a separate forum section (sub section) for this sort of stuff ?

Do you have any preference on grouping of the knobs, faders and buttons?

i.e. you have a few settings that you would like to always have at hand so they could be mapped to the top left row of knobs. etc.

Vecto map.

Note: In the MENU when you see "Mode" that means the Data Encoder has been mapped so don't forget to check it to see what it changes, had to use the data encoder as it seams to work differently from the knobs in how info is returned back to the nektar.

There is a Fader\Knob option on every page, remember when in the Fader screen, Toggle/view and Toggle/Mute buttons switch between the fader views of "buttons" to "upper knobs" (the ones above the Faders) mainly needed for the Osc pages.

Note: All knobs, buttons, faders and ch knobs on the HOME page are defaults and will be mapped in if the sub menu does not use them controls

@arqui : I'd like to add your map but I'll need the map in a text file or REMOTEMAP format. Adding to this forum I cannot preserve the white spaces needed. Thanks!

I dl the new remote map, but it doesn't work.
I managed to copy the A-list drummer and the MP5 code to my own remotemap without problems, if I copy Vecto or Zero my remotefile stops working, I did them one-by-one.

I dl the file 2 times and got the filesize 2 036 008 both times.

Apart from this I must say that I realy appreciate all the work !

Oddly, for me they work fine. Zero does for sure. I do not have Vectro or MP5. But regardless of having them, they should still load. When you try to load the remote map provided does it give you a red "X" when you try to load? If so, if you double click on it it should provide you with the lines of the code it has troubles with. A screen shot may help in correcting the issue.

Actually I don't own any of the added REs, just tried to copy them into my remotemap.
The problem is that nothing works when added Vecto or Zero.
When loading the whole remotemap, my Nektar P4 stops working and it get's stucked on "Internal", can't just switch to my working remotemap I have to reboot PC.
When I added Vecto or Zero to my own remotemap I just switched remotemap and restarted Reason and everything is OK.

Don't have time to night, but I'll do some more tests tomorrow.

Did some more tests...

I took the Vecto & and Zero txt files from Phoobear and tested.
If I'm adding Zero to my remotemap the Nektar get's stucked and the "Internal" key is lit, from here I have to reboot the PC.
Adding Vecto I can set the SSL to lock to mixer mode(this don't work with the Zero script), I can move between Internal and Transport and so on, but Instrument is not showing any instruments loaded.
Removing the Vecto part and restarting Reason clears everything.

I'm not sure about the "X" where should I see this ?

Ahh now I get it...

I have the remotemap from Nektar "Panorama_RemoteMap_20150911.zip" and Zero and Vecto are already in there :)
I noticed the red X under "control surface" and by pressing it it showed me Vecto was mapped twice....

That makes sense. The first map I had had starter maps in it from Nektar. I believe they had templates for a few synths in there and those two were among them. If you download the latest release and overwrite your remote map this should not be an issue. Glad you got it worked out.

FYI. I updated the Zero mappings to include the new solo buttons released in Zero 1.1.2.
