automation, or take advantage of SONAR’s superior NRPN handling and
use the NRPN system.
3.4.1 Full Automation
Full automation provides 128 automation channels for every pad, plus
automation of volume, pan, aux1 level, aux2 level, mute and solo. This
means that you can automate every single parameter, but with a total
automation-count in excess of 12,000, if your host has a list-based
automation system, editing it afterwards can be rather cumbersome and
you may prefer a mapped automation mode.
3.4.2 16-way Mapped Automation
16-way mapped automation is provided for
Logic Audio users. Logic (as of v4.7) only allows
16 VSTi parameters to be automated; this mode
allows you to assign any DR-008 parameter to one of the 16 available slots. The
parameters are grouped as ‘system parameters’ – volume, pan, aux, mute, solo and
‘module parameters’, which are arranged by octave (0.7). A parameter can only be
automated when it’s assigned in the map; the mapper settings are saved as part of
the DR-008 bank file, or with your song.
3.4.3 128-way Map and
Controllers
128-way mapped automation
is like an extended version of
the 16-way automation mode,
with 128 channels instead of
16. In addition, the 128-way automation mapper has a 16 channel mapper for
assigning MIDI Continuous Controllers (CC# 64..CC# 79) to DR-008 parameters.
