Description:

The Panorama P6 from Nektar Technology is a 61-key controller with a comprehensive Reason implementation that makes it feel like one is controlling hardware in real-time. Additional extensive programming options for controlling other ReWired DAWs, virtual instruments and MIDI hardware enhance performance and creativity.

The keyboard and pads have a solid feel and respond in a dynamic manner. Velocity sensitivity allows for complex expression. Combined with ninety-three real-time controls available at any one time, and cross-platform computer compatibility, makes the Panorama P6 the definitive keyboard controller for Reason and other MIDI software and hardware.

DAW Control

Deep Integration without the need for mapping of the following software:

Apple Main Stage 3
Cocos Reaper
Bitwig Studio
Cubase
Logic Pro
Reason

Dedicated Transport Controls

All main transport functions are available at any one time via eleven dedicated transport buttons
Provides one button access to L/R locator positions, undo, click on/off, recording mode, cycle on/off, rewind, forward, stop, play and record
The three Reason modes automatically map the transport buttons and even send transport messages to a ReWired DAW
Improved Transport mode with icons showing status for click, Q-record, cycle and pre-count
Button for quantize added along with some re-organization that eliminated the need for another menu level to access some functions

Pads

Twelve velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with choice of seven velocity curves for expressive percussive performances
Easy to program using the “Learn Note” function
“Velocity Spread” feature quickly spreads one note across all the pads, each with its own fixed velocity, making it easier to create consistent and nuanced dynamics
“Scale-Function” assigns each pad to pitches within any of the pre-defined 30+ scales, a quick and easy way to change pad assignments, great for percussive performances with any keyboard sound while freely changing intervals or transposing the whole set on the fly

Reason Channel Controls

Regardless of which Reason mode you are in, or how far down you are in a menu, you always have instant access to volume, solo and mute controls for the current mixer channel
The 100 mm ALPS fader and two LED buttons can be locked to a specific mixer channel, or set to follow your track selection
ALPS fader is motorized so its position updates automatically to match your virtual Reason mixer

Presets and Maps

Little to no setup required for the Reason user
Presets can be setup for a ReWired DAW, VI or other software/hardware combination using the keyboard’s Internal mode
User settings are stored in non-volatile memory and retained even when the keyboard is switched off, with plenty of storage space available
Twenty preset locations store settings for the sixteen encoders, nine faders and ten buttons with an additional five keyboard, ten F-Keys and twenty Pad map locations storing all settings for their respective functional area
Preset can be loaded with any combination of maps plus you can load maps independently without affecting your other assignments
