Grrreatings Crrreamware geeks!

I just got myself a Pulsar 2 a couple days ago. AH! I have to say, it is the best environment out there to date. BUT!
I must be dumb for I just can't find the automation! Where is it?
All I managed to do so far is to assign 119 pathetic MIDI controls over just one poor MIDI channel but that's middle age! :sad:
Any pro digital mixer has a full automation implementation (Cubase, 02R, DSP Factory,...). That is every single knob is part of it. MIDI controls just can't achieve that because that would represent at least 1000 controllers and if I would be to have to assign them all myself, I'd quit sequencing and just go play the banjo...
So what would make sense would be a little automation pad synchronized to Cubase (or what makes u freak) via MIDI Clock, with locators and all the usual stuff.
So where is it?! Everything else rocks in this soft. :wink: Help! I must be blind! #@&éù!

Midi CC's is all you get right now.

The nice part is, if your device is an ".MDL" you can assign the (unique) CC's once, and save the device (Preset menu, Save Device icon). Then each time you load it up, all the CC's are premapped.

To be honest, the weakest part of Pulsar is it's MIDI implementation/automation.

However, you should be able to get everything you need done using CCs for now. Do you honestly need realtime control of over 100 parameters at once? I know that I don't... I've got hardware stuff if I want to go that crazy.
