- Further integrated Automap into Ableton Live for Impulse users: there are now 2 modes for the PlugIn button, one for Live devices and one for Automap

Changes and fixes:

- Added HUI support for Reaper, Studio One, Digital Performer and Pro Tools LE in Setup Wizard

- Added support for Logic Express 9 in Setup Wizard

- Added 'Ignore HUI heartbeat messages' in HUI setting (only tick this box if you are a Reaper user)

- Added Automap mode to Impulse's Plugin button when using with Ableton Live

- Updaded Impulse Firmware to version 663, now the Plugin button has two modes when use with Ableton Live. Mode 1 (constant light): to control Live device, Mode 2 (flashing light) to control Automap enabled plug-ins

- updated SL Mkii firmware to version 1.3.12

- updated Zero SL Mkii firmware to version 1.3.14

- Fixed Automap asking for password when launching on DAW on OSX

- Fixed VST3 not working when 'Follow on screen Plug-In where possible' is ticked (in the expense of Steinberg's VST3 plug-ins on screen rotaries not working, Windows only)

- Fixed VST plug-ins not auto focusing when using Sonar.

- Fixed track name not appearing after load a session with HUI in Digital Performer

- Fixed automap enabled VST3 plug-ins crashing or not loading in Studio One.

- Fixed crash when tracking up and down with Impulse 25 using Reason.

- Improved Logic setup guide

- Reduced Mac and Win installer download size

- Removed Mac PPC support

- Fixed Impulse Preview button not working on Mac

- Updated Studio One setup guide to include additional keyboard setup information

Known issues:

- Windows only, Steinberg's VST3 plug-ins on screen rotaries not working when wrapped, untick 'Follow on screen Plug-In where possible' option in Preferences.

- when using HUI with Digital Performer, moving fader 1 will also move fader 8 in the Automap GUI. This will not affect session in most case. This is caused by DP sending CC7 on channel 1 back to Automap everytime the first slider is being move

- AU plug-ins name will appear strangely in Studio One when wrapped. This does not affect the performance of the plug-ins.

- Fabfilter VST3 not recognised on windows systems when wrapped

- Waves 8 plug-in will not auto focus when wrapped or not wrapped

Additional notes:

- VST2 and VST3 plug-ins require a re-wrap for the new fixes to work (untick and retick in software setup window)

- If you have more than one DAW installed that uses HUI (Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One and Digital Performer) the green light next to all of them will light up in the software setup window even if only one is setup with Automap.

-Mac OSX (Snow Leopard) 10.6.8
-Mac OSX (Lion) 10.7.3 or later
