Welcome to the Novation ReMOTE SL User Guide! This guide is designed to help you get started with the controller, as well

as to provide comprehensive information about its operational features and Automap software. The content is structured

in a way that should allow you to read only as far as you need to. Basic and essential information is covered early on whilst

the latter sections deal with more advanced features.

We are constantly developing the ReMOTE SL and Automap Universal, and software updates will be made available as free

downloads on the Novation website. We suggest checking the ReMOTE SL product page regularly to ensure you have the

latest update and documentation.

No troubleshooting section has been included in this guide. If you require further guidance or technical support after

reading this guide, please visit the Novation Answerbase, which can be found in the support area at www.novationmusic.

com. The Novation Answerbase contains troubleshooting articles for all Novation products and a technical support contact

form that you can use to get in touch with us if you cannot ﬁnd the information you are after.
