(grin) automap didnt work for me and a lot of other folks, either!
My solution was to dump the Novation and buy a controller that worked easily.
Korg Nano series all the way, plus my two Nanokontrols take up less room than one Remote zero used to!
Not a lot of help for you, but maybe you should have a read of Klinke's posts about getting various controllers talking to reaper.
I know there are Novation users on here that are working with reaper but NOT automap....
I previously also had a Behri BCF2000 which worked very nicely with reaper using klinke's setup stuff.
But it still took up too much desk space and the faders were noisy!
