Would there be other better choices of 49key controllers with the best expression methods and newest easy to use features with at least key velocity & aftertouch hopefully not large or heavy. I was wanting to stay under $240. So I first chose an $180 used PANORAMA NEKTAR T4 MIDI Controller and then jump over my intended $240 limit T4 and ordered a $250 used Nektar Panorama P4 MIDI Controller splurging up to a new total of $430 – can’t help but thinking about other possibilities in that $430 range if there are any? That is really more than I should spend, maybe should send one of these back, or resell one. I read the details about the strengths of each the T4 vs P4 they are each better in different ways and I couldn’t decide which I wanted and thought that really crazy thought best way to know is to test each. Maybe use each for their given strength doing different tasks. The P4 sounds pretty easy to map and the T4 has chord mode and note repeating, but I will have to try each out and see.
Do you use the new Cubase 12 MIDI Remote function with your Panoramas – Do you know of other as good or better choices for 14 key MIDI Controllers with some sliders and knobs, would a little joystick help much? I don’t think I will get into using the Pads all that much. I don’t know how long or when the P4 & T4 got release – I do think they both are still in the current Nektar linup still both on the current market.
Anyway… If you might comment on new or easier units might help.
P.S. - These are the Other MIDI Controllers I have reviewed and think that I would prefer Nektar P/T over: { Arturia KeyLab MkI, Arturia Keystep 37, Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol, M-Audios, AKAIs }
I have Korg’s MicoKeys 37 & 61-air and have been getting into several Soft Synths - I don’t use Native Instruments very much – just prefer different Soft Synths, like {Sylenth, Spire, Ava, Phase Plant, Korg Classics, SynthMasters, DS Thorn, Halion }.
So I think I have maybe done my research to arrive at the NECTAR’S in proper analysis.
