Novation has released version 3.2 of Automap. Both Standard and Pro versions have been updated to bring full integration with Propellerhead's new Record software. On top of this, the v3.2 revisions of Automap Pro and Automap Standard feature enhanced support for Reason, plus other workflow optimisations.
