Nektar Panorama P1 MIDI Keyboard - Black/White

Product Information

and so working with them in the past has usually been a case of looking at your computer screen to see where the software parameter is set, comparing it to the position of the physical fader and then moving the fader up or down slowly until it catches up with the position of the software parameter, which will become apparent when the software control starts to move with the hardware fader movement. The predominantly mouse-focused user interface of DAW's is powerful and yet can be a distraction or outright slow at times.

Nektar’s deep ability to control instrument and device parameters allows the user to dig in using physical controllers and intuitive software navigation via the full colour TFT screen.Selecting Fixed will result in the keys transmitting the same velocity value, no matter how hard they are pressed. I was worried about how i might find the faders in use but it is easy to adjust them and they don't jump you soon get the hang of it. The 8 encoders above the fader section provide access to panning or one of the 8 sends by pressing the Toggle/View button. The best part is that Nektarine maps and patches are not tied to just one DAW: Once you’ve built your maps and patch library in Nektarine, they are instantly available in any VST or AU host application: Use Nektarine in one DAW and your plugins can be browsed and controlled the same way in any other compatible DAW. Logic Pro X, Bitwig at the time of writing), then I getting yourself a Panorama to improve your workflow would end up being a very wise investment indeed.

For Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reaper, Reason ans Studio One users, Panorama is a dream come true. If you're working with a project that requires more than 12 pads then you will be pleased to know that you can virtually increase them with banks.I must admit that so far, I've not used a lot of the in-depth features of the P4 in my own studio as I've mainly been focusing on getting used to all the features of Bitwig. Yes, the faders are plastic, but they were nice and chunky, which made them pleasant to work with and after all, pretty much all MIDI controllers on the market today have plastic controls to keep costs down. The sustain pedal was pressed and then unplugged, or it wasn’t plugged in when the Panorama power switch was set to ‘On’ (Panorama will sense the pedal’s polarity on power-up). Hopefully, Nektar can improve the reliability of the initial installation and configuration process as my experience would not represent a welcome start for a potential new user. I imagine that most people will use the pads to trigger samples and perform percussive parts in an MPC-sampler kind of way and so these people will be extremely happy to learn that setting up your pads is quick and easy.

The mode buttons assign Panorama’s hardware controls to take over the right controls in Studio One: When you press “Mixer”, “Instrument” or “Transport”, Panorama’s control assignments are completely re-configured and the display is updated accordingly:
The channel name is displayed for the currently selected track along with the selected menu, so it’s easy to get around without getting lost.I am using the Nektar Impulse LX61+ with no problems but there are times that I just want to use the P1 instead of The Nektar Impulse LX61+.
