I'm trying to wrap my head around how to map Diva's sections in Novation's Automap software for use with my 61 SL MkII. The envelope section is okay since it's standard ADS(R), but the oscillator sections varies wildly, and anything I map in the Triple VCO, is actually useless in any of the DCO's except for a few basic things.
Has anyone else started automapping Diva, or does anyone have any good tips on how to do it?
I'm a true novice when it comes to Automap, so Diva is my first try.
Diva and Automap 4 - ideas on how to do it?

I have found it useful to set it up per layout. I have one set up for the minimoog layout and another set up for the Jupiter layout.
The mapping i setup include: the oscillators, the filters and the envelopes, but invariably a parameter here and there gets left out. I don't include the velocity and keyboard scaling for the envelopes on the synth layouts.
I have a third page specifically for the envelopes that contains all the envelope controls (ADR release, digital env Q and S, as well as selecting what envelope is being used) and will probably add further specific pages for the oscillator and filter sections at some point.
I am also finding it useful to combine my Remote Zero SL with the the knobs on my keyboard controller (Yamaha Ex5). So i have specific layouts on the remote sl, and then I have LFO2 shapes and rates and the output volume mapped to the knobs on the EX5.
I am thinking of adding another midi knob box specifically to control other universal controls (ie: glide, LFO1 and others)

I thought about one layout per "synth" too, but I discarded the idea as one of the really cool features of Diva is to mix oscillators and filters from different synths.
It'll probably be a 'page monster'

At least there is a lot of crossover with the controls. ie the mapping the filters on the moog filters translates to the jupiter, translates to the alpha juno and so on (with minor differences obviously).
My thoughts of doing it per layout is so that I always know what page the Jupiter oscillators are for example.
I wish novation would implement a way of being able to jump to different pages without having to use the up/down buttons (which is really tedious)
I have suggested to them they make the drum pads available given that they are pretty much useless - eg press drum pad 2 to go to page 2.
