Camelot 2.5: Total Control, Finally Done Right

Camelot 2.5 is not just another update.
It’s a structural shift in how you control your live setup.

For a long time, Camelot made a deliberate trade-off: simplicity over flexibility.
Global positional mapping ensured stability, predictability, and fast setup — especially critical in live performance contexts.

But that approach had a cost.

If you needed deeper control, more nuanced mappings, or scene-specific behavior, you had to work around the system. And the more complex your setup became, the more fragile and harder to manage it was.

Camelot 2.5 removes that limitation — without sacrificing clarity.

The Core Shift: From Fixed Control to Intentional Control

This release focuses entirely on Remote Control — how MIDI controllers interact with Camelot, and how you shape that interaction.
The goal is simple:
Give you full control, without forcing you into chaos.
And that’s exactly what 2.5 delivers.

Reinvented Global Mapping

Global Mapping in previous versions was rigid by design:
you mapped positions, not objects.

It worked — but it didn’t scale.

With Camelot 2.5, Global Mapping becomes:

• Guided → A new wizard-driven workflow removes ambiguity
• Flexible → More parameters, more targets, more control
• Musically coherent → Designed for real-world live setups, not theoretical workflows

Key Improvements

• Pickup Mode (finally)
  No more parameter jumps. Your hardware only takes control when it matches the current value.
  Result: smooth transitions, zero surprises.

• Jump Mode (still there)
  For when you need immediate response.

• Massive Expansion of Mapping Scope
  Up to 16 layers per Scene, Song, and Setlist
  Up to 8 Items per mapping system

• This isn’t incremental — it’s a scale upgrade.

• Flexible MIDI Assignment
  Not just fixed CC/Program Change anymore
  Support for Notes, custom CCs, and alternative mapping strategies

• Bidirectional Communication
  Your controller is no longer blind.
  Camelot sends feedback back to your hardware:
  Motorized faders move correctly
  LEDs reflect real values

This alone eliminates one of the biggest friction points in live control.

Local Mapping: Precision Where It Matters

This is the real breakthrough.
For the first time, Camelot introduces Local Mapping — and it changes everything.

What It Does

Local Mapping lets you define scene-specific control behavior.

Not globally.
Not abstractly.
Exactly where it matters.

How It Works

• MIDI Learn per Scene
• Visual overlay of all mappable elements
• Direct interaction with real objects, not positions

Deep Control of Your Setup

You can now:

• Expand Items inside Layers
• Map:
  Hardware instrument CCs
  Plugin parameters (already exposed in Camelot)
• Control everything at a granular level — inside the actual musical context

Full Feature Parity

Local Mapping includes:

• Pickup / Jump modes
• Scaling curves
• Bidirectional feedback

This is not a “light” feature.
It’s a full control system — scoped exactly where you need it.
