NAMM 2013: Nektar Panorama P1

Future Music get a demo of the brand new Nektar Panorama P1 USB control surface working with Cubase and Bitwig Studio.

[@ZiadSidawi]

Ordered one...after 7 year of its release date. Nektar still updating its firmware, so I feel comfortable to go ahead with the purchase. Fingers crossed.

[@AndrewLuecke]

I wish I could actually see what was happening on the controller..

[@danaadalaide5648]

+Mathias Hoho The P4 and P6 has a motorized fader that is assigned to the mixer channel your current instrument is on.. its pretty useful!

[@afnannn]

why is this guy whispering? does he not want us to know what it does or what?

[@OzziePete1]

I hear you but there is Bank forward & Bank backward buttons (located just below the screen) that will move the tracks on your DAW to assign to the faders on the hardware.

[@noiselabproject9659]

terrible video angles ^ what about as a soft/hardware synth controller ?

[@kebythepeanut]

As soon as I get this I'm making a max for live sequencer where you can use this as an 8 stepper or junction it with a few to make step sequencers, using the knobs to control pitch and buttons for on off

[@muzixco]

Nice piece of kit.

[@ZabbaVEVO]

no, the p4 p6 are for use with reason 5+ and cubase.. the firmware has been updated.

[@nevastrez]

kzbin.infoUgkxTIArMwwyipdkfpNkclNgXf2LoUfBChA7 Up to this day in July 2023, to my knowledge the Nektar P1 is still the only hardware midi controller which by default has a encoder knob (The upper left) to adjust the tempo in Cubase Pro 12 and previous versions! Can the Steinberg CC 121 or CC series do this too?

[@BFLATINUM]

I'm just going to assume that the integration with Reason will still be top notch. I may purchase this, but I was really hoping for a controller with 25 keys....

[@helpmetony]

sure! I love the controller, but I really want the Nektar jacket.

[@themervster]

The selling point for this is it is the only dedicated control for use with Reason. Shame there showing it with Cubase..

[@nurydesousasantos4328]

Hi there, I got a question on the Panorama P1! Lets say I have both P1 and "ANY" MIDI keyboard hooked up to Logic X and an instance of Alchemy on a MIDI channel. Can I play the keys on "ANY" MIDI keyboard(m-audio, novation, nectar impact GX, etc) while tweaking knobs, faders and browsing the VST's sounds/patches?

[@g-force-danielgoldstone3078]

thinking of getting this for cubase, would this be good for vsts like sylenth, predator, massive?

[@djmentalblue]

Does it support Ableton Live mappings or is it Cubase/Bitwig exclusive?

[@spector969]

Wow, this is very interesting, I'm in the market for a new controller surface, as a Cubase user I was leaning towards a selection of the official Steinberg CC controllers but to get that setup configured the way I want would cost me over £500... Hence this shiny little box looks very interesting if it's going at around £220...Hmm, decisions :)

[@bryanshaddix4341]

can any for sure tell me that this unit works with Nuendo and its plugins? I want to buy one! thank you!

[@johnsuggs3952]

Doesn't have support for Ableton? Big Mistake

[@drummerhoward]

can u use 3 thes at ones in cubase

[@cimmayrivard4591]

Needs a better mic. But some good points. Remember this only replaces the mouse.

[@realraven2000]

can specific maps (or tweaks) saved with my cubase songs? or are they global to Panorama.

[@ArthurHendriks]

Cheers guys

[@andykeastak]

Please show the GUI what can I see on the GUI??????

[@MrPainseeker]

Hi, so how well has this controller been mapped for FL Studio 11 by the people from imageline?

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

How can I assign the 9 faders if I have 50 tracks please?

[@johnsuggs3952]

Slide the fader assignment with the bank buttons

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

@@johnsuggs3952 Thanks bro, I just bought Faderport 8 and figured it out in it :) cheers

[@JPPimentadj]

i cand play my on tracks tunes from my browser files to cuebase with the controller Nektar Panorama P1 thank you for help

[@kosfas81]

No motorfaders? Is this real?! So, I think the Behringer BCF2000 seems to have it all then...! Too pitty, BCF2000 its a discontinued product as I have seen in the internet (but is it true about that?!)

No dedicated MSR buttons? I will "Toggle" away thank you!

[@Mocuischalom]

a 25" demo is fine, a lot of different things.........but with always the camera at 2 meters , it's a shame

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Can't see what is happening, can't hear what the dude is saying. Proper job.

[@rajkhurmi]

so no ligic or pro tools ? :(

[@quinnbaillie7296]

i need to be able to do audio mixing i have mixs craft and cue base and reason HELP ME !!!!!!!

[@quinnbaillie7296]

also ableton live audacity and cool edit pro and i also have virtual dj so if i can get some suggjestions that be great

[@SoulSheIS]

quinn baillie Hey, have you been able to find the answer? I ,too, use MIxcraft and Cubase ...and Audacity. Looking for a control surface, myself. Thanks!

[@hiyorisarugaki1830]

Chris. In Shawn of the dead? Not 17 anymore 😂

[@CORNERSTOW]

no gui it controls what ever daw you use i have the p4 its fantastic with reason 6 the single motorized fader is pointless

[@GODenWord]

Samplitude Pro X?!!

[@perfectprint]

a decent look at the actual controller would have been nice.

[@clydehoho9240]

So no motorized faders -.-

[@Chevytravelleruk]

Not at this price point..

[@chrisdekopoore8483]

no motorized faders no point having it imo

[@atommachine]

@@chrisdekopoore8483 it does more than just channel strips though, I wouldn't be without it now fantastic controller.

[@dolak1919]

No sounds??

[@alikpriest]

I slept well.

[@lennardvillasenor5151]

You need to hire someone who knows how to use a camera so that the pertinent and salient images are coordinated with what is being discussed. This is such a wasted opportunity.

[@LizzardHimself]

No motor-faders? :( Come on... Even the cheap Behringer-Controllers have motor-faders. If it had some, this thing would be perfect.

[@johnrasmussen4683]

Is this guy danish?

[@Chevytravelleruk]

Would be good if the FM guys were given a little camera training.. Some of those cutaway shots were pretty useless

[@KnockSquared]

$299 U.S. street price?? Cocaine is a hell of a drug !

[@VirtualMark2]

Well having 8 sliders to control a mixer would be great for anyone who only has 8 channels in their projects. Which would be nobody. When are these manufacturers going to get their acts together, and actually make a useful product?

[@PikeBishop1]

You can switch banks...

[@narudh]

man why don't they just put another 2 rows of buttons for mute / solo / arm. anyway, good controllers = so fucking hard to find!!

[@irrationallynegative]

Looks very convoluted and time consuming

[@markeverett2904]

well it's 8 sliders but you can switch the banks aswell, quite convienient, if you know your studio shit!!!!

[@charlessel5749]

we do not nothing I he he is teaching to his fiend on cam

[@atommachine]

make it work with Reaper !

[@MikeSmithADSRPro]

Great love the fact that people are realizing that Cubase is still the best DAW and they are now creating useful tools for Cubase as opposed to other DAWS. Yeah I am bias towards Cubase as I have used it for 13 years, and I agree its down to personnel preference but im sick of all these new gadgets been for ableton, logic, & pro tools. Im buying one of these bad boys FACT!!!

[@kebythepeanut]

not if you're sending midi to an analog device

[@TanyaOwens]

Good instruction -- horrible video editing. There is a camera set up recording where we can see what he is doing, as well as a recording of the screen. It would've been best to show the controller and his hand movements along with the screen, than the jerky camera showing him. I am not watching the video to see the man. I am watching to see the controller working with Cubase -- RECOMMEND, go back to the raw footage and redo this video.

[@Lindeman88]

lets make this verry nice controller and fuck with ppl and not use motorized faders

[@AudiolaborLabel]

kool tool, but sad - no motorfaders.
