Hi, I used an Impulse 49 and I found Automap to be a strength and weakness at the same time. It worked fine with Cubase 7 but as soon as I upgrade to Cubase 8, I had a tough time.
Months later, Novation hasn’t yet updated Automap to support Cubase 8.
I wouldn’t mind if Novation did not advertise Automap being compatible with “Cubase” (they still advertise that), I wouldn’t mind if it took them a month (from release of Cubase 8) to update their software (although I would greatly appreciate it if they were released at the same time), but it’s now been far too long with broken compatibility, to be tolerable. Because of such incompatibility issues, I eventually decided to sell my Impulse 49.
