It can be switched on or of, in my case it is switched on. In the Inspector you can find also a pane called Quick Controls. You have created a Midi track with the PlugIn as Output and the Impulse as Input (this you can do in the Inspector on the left hand side). I expect you have loaded already your Plugin, in my case the Halion 3 as a Rack Instrument.

How to do that? To do that we need to switch over to Cubase. You need now to figure out how the Halion 3 QCР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs are named and map them to the desired Knob Encoder on your Impulse. it will control the Master Volume of your PlugIn, in this Case The Halion 3. The means, when you turn Encoder Knob 3 foe. The first page - where you are right now is mapped as follows: More Down under you will see your 8 Knob Encoders dived in two Lines, each of 4. In my case it shows correctly Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Halion Sonic - Steinberg Media TechnologiesР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ /255.Р вЂќР’В«elow that, you can see the board layout of your Novation with the Knob Encoder Section selected in a red outlined Box. In the upper section you can find all kind of Load and Save stuff, underneath youР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћll see the actual Mapping. It opens up a new Window named Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Edit MappingР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ.

We take look to the right and give the Button Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Edit MappingР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ a try. It is called Halion Sonic, Type Instrument with 2048 Parameters. The mapping was already weird in a kind of way, but suddenly I found out, that for unknown reasons a new entry appeared in Tab Mixer/Plugin Settings. By testing around to get the QC working I enabled this function again with the result, that when I focussed the Halion 3 Plugin in Cubase, the Automap Server tells me that he is now Controlling the Halion 3. By default you are on and this controls maybe Volume, Pan or something like this.Р вЂќР вЂЎor some reason I had turned off the Automap notification before. The Automap server has them mapped somewhere in the different pages you can select on the Impulse with the Plugin Page switch. IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћve struggled as many other user to remotely control the Synth Plugin Quick Controls, foe. I am not sure about this, so I try to explain what happens without warranty. Then there is an entry named Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™CubaseР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ, Type is Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™MixerР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ which has 772 parameters. All of them 3 entries shows up in them details with only 4 parameters. In my case there are 3 identical entries named Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™MixConvert V6Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ Type VST3. After a while it filled itself for unknown reasons with some entries. The right pane - headlined with Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™NameР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ThingР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™ManufacturerР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™TypeР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ was completely empty. Under the Tab Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Mixer/Plugin SettingsР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ you will see on the left pane side your Impulse Keyboard Controller with a nice picture.Р вЂќР вЂЎor the first time of installation Automap: Now it comes to the tricky part (tricky, because I donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt get how this works and just found out by accident). If you use / need RTAS do the same, in my case there is nothing selected. Your PlugIns are listed here and also ensure that they are checked / enabled. Click VST and a list opens with all Plug Ins found under the given Pathname.Underneath Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™VST PathsР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ you will find a Box, where the following is listed: VST, VST3, RTAS.Under Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Setup VST-PathsР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ make sure the correct Path to your VST Plugin Folders are entered.

Under Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Setup WizardР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ (which isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt currently available ) make sure the Impulse you are using is.

Make sure your Cubase 9 is listed and marked with a green sign.

How to use Novation Impulse 8 Knob Encoders with Automap 4.10 and Cubase 9Р вЂќР вЂЎirst of all you have to set up the Automap Server.

Midi Standard tells, the CCs 21-28 are UNDEFINED, while the default Cubase CC Values before learning were CC 71-78 is set kind of Sound Controller, like VCA, VCF and so on (usually CC 70- 79). IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћve also done that with no effect.Р вЂќР вЂћlso from interest may have the meaning of the CC values itself. I donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt remember the source, but someone noticed, it may has a meaning to enable the flags Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Send/ReceiveР Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ both in Cubase Quick Control Editor. But has no impact on the Quick Controls of the desired Plug-In or as far as I can see changes absolutely nothing within Cubase. Changing the value knobs is generating a Midi signal received by Cubase (what is fmho correct because we are sending from Novation a Midi-Control-Event f.e. Just for Information: By using the advice from gearslutz it turns out that learning the 8 knobs to Cubase the CC Controller values changed itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs mapping from default CC 71-78 to CC 21-28. Of course I turned off the learn check box before assigning the new settings in Cubase. I also followed the gearslutz advice, but Cubase and Impulse is behaving exactly the same way as Shay describes it. My name is Joshua - and IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm stuck in the same problem as Shay and as I guess even more users.
