  • Manufactured by: Nektar

DESCRIPTION

The Nektar Panorama P1 USB MIDI control surface is customized from the ground up to integrate deeply with Propellerhead Reason, Steinberg Cubase, and Nuendo. Much more than just a generic MIDI controller, the P1's controls -- 16 knobs, nine 45mm faders, 10 assignable LED buttons, a footswitch socket, and more -- are pre-mapped or easily assignable to your DAW's functions. Nektar has harnessed Propellerhead's ReMote technology like no other control surface -- and the Panorama P1 packs all this power into an incredibly small footprint.

Big, bright, clear 3.5" color screen

The first thing you'll notice about the Panorama P1 is its large color screen. Press the buttons above the P1's 3.5" TFT display to toggle between views of your mixer, transport, or whatever software instrument you're using. Without this clear visual feedback, most MIDI controllers slow down your workflow -- keeping you looking back and forth from the controller to your computer screen. And screen real estate is always an issue for music production. But with the Nektar P1, you don't even need to have your Reason mixer onscreen. The P1's big, bright display gives you constant real-time feedback on which functions you're controlling and what your settings are.

Mix faster: Full channel strip control

With Reason and the P1 controller, you can adjust your mix at the same time as you're working with an instrument. Simply lock the fader bank to Reason's mixing console, and assign the knobs and buttons to whatever instrument you're controlling at the moment. And yes, you can even trigger QWERTY commands and macros with the press of a single button on the P1. Best of all, the P1 speeds up your workflow with complete control over your channel strip EQ, dynamics, inserts, sends and beyond. When it comes to streamlining your Reason workflow, the P1's tight channel strip control is the closest you can get to working on a real hardware console.
 

Nektar Panorama's smallest footprint

At just over 15" x 9" and under 2 inches tall, the Panorama P1 packs everything from the control surface portion of the full-size Panorama keyboards into a controller about the size and shape of a laptop. If you already have a MIDI keyboard in your Reason studio, then the ultra-compact P1 is perfect for you. If you're in the market for a great-feeling MIDI keyboard instrument, you'll want to get your hands on the larger Panorama keyboard controllers.

Features:

  • 3.5" color TFT display gives you real-time feedback
  • Tight mapping with Reason instruments and Rack Extensions
  • Complete control over your mixer and channel strips
  • QWERTY shortcut commands at the push of a single button
  • Assignable footswitch jack for even more control
  • Dedicated controller for Reason, Cubase or Nuendo...
  • And a flexible generic MIDI controller for nearly any DAW

Push the computer keyboard and mouse aside -- and get ready to turn your Reason rig into a powerful, hands-on, hardware-based workstation. If Reason is your DAW of choice, then the Nektar Panorama P1 is your dedicated control surface.
