I would like to know if there is any possibility of using automation within Pulsar through a software application or so, without any hardware addition. Thanks.

Nestor.

sorry,
but i don´t really understand your question!?
automation by software within pulsar? ... you can handle automation with each normal sequencing software, can´t you?

or did i understood wrong?

help me! ;))

If I'm understanding you correctly, try this:

i) Draw in, say, a volume curve in a Midi track on Cubase (or whatever sequencer you are using).
ii) In Pulsar connect a Synth up to the Sequencer Source, on the same Midi channel, and right click on the volume control . A Midi Control dialog will open.
iii) Start Cubase playing over the part where you have entered the volume control.
iv) The Midi Control dialog box in Pulsar will then show '7' as the 'New' controller - click on '+' and lo and behold the volume of the synth will henceforth be controlled by any changes you make to the volume in Cubase.

You can use the same principle for pretty much any controller - e.g. draw in a modulation curve instead of a volume curve and whichever synth controller you right-click on will be altered by controller 1.

Obviously this is all much easier if you have a keyboard with an assignable modulation wheel.....
