I am not in any way associated with NektarTech but i really wanted to share my happiness about the Nektar Panorama Midi controller keyboard in conjunction with Cubase.
I received my Nektar Panorama P4 Midikeyboard yesterday and the intergration with Cubase as controller is just amazing.
Things like Transport functions and plugin parameter control and Mixer functions just work like a charm from the Panorama.
It’s just amazing what these guys from NektarTech accomplished with their Panorama midi keyboards, regarding DAW control, not only for Cubase but for Ableton Live and upcoming Bitwig as well; hands down !!
+1, I agree totally. I have a P6 and it is amazing. I’ve barely scratched the surface on the possibilities. Outside of the integrations the Hardware is very nice as well. The Keyboard weighting and response is much better than most MIDI controllers. Their support is great too.
@vanhaze3000 - lovin my P6 for about 6 months + now.
@serenity - there’s a list on the Nektar site showing all the 3rd party plugs that are synced & controlled with it, with the list being added to regularly.
What’s often undiscovered with this series is that you can even load Vst plugins straight from the Panorama itself - not even needing to reach for your mouse, just FYI.
I had to log in order to do this> “I’ve looked in ‘My Account’, etc. but no go”.
[Otherwise ‘My Account’ isn’t there at the top.]
I also looked in downloads while I was there.
But…I contacted Nektar last night and received this reply today:
Update for Case #1780 - “Cubase Mixer Update”
Hi Jim,
There is a Cubase update in the works. We hope to release it soon but I can’t give a concrete release date. All I can say, is that it’s our top priority right now.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
All the best,
Justin Sullivan
Well that’s strange. I downloaded the file listed thusly:
Cubase and Nuendo Integration files including plugin mapping, driver, Panorama firmware update and Installation Guide. Uploaded 2014/3/26 - version 1.0.5h
And it does seem to have fixed the hidden tracks problem (where if mix console 1 had hidden channels the P6 would get “confused”)
Had a look just now, It’s still up there, for p1, p4 and p6. What are you seeing exactly? (You do have to enter your device in the Product Registration link to see anything)
