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 ControlDeep Integration without the need for mapping of the following software:Apple Main Stage 3Cocos ReaperBitwig StudioCubaseLogic ProReasonDedicated Transport ControlsAll main transport functions are available at any one time via eleven dedicated transport buttonsProvides one button access to L/R locator positions, undo, click on/off, recording mode, cycle on/off, rewind, forward, stop, play and recordThe three Reason modes automatically map the transport buttons and even send transport messages to a ReWired DAWImproved Transport mode with icons showing status for click, Q-record, cycle and pre-countButton for quantize added along with some re-organization that eliminated the need for another menu level to access some functionsPadsTwelve velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with choice of seven velocity curves for expressive percussive performancesEasy 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 flyReason Channel ControlsRegardless 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 channelThe 100 mm ALPS fader and two LED buttons can be locked to a specific mixer channel, or set to follow your track selectionALPS fader is motorized so its position updates automatically to match your virtual Reason mixerASCII/QWERTY MacrosBy pressing a single button you can send out for example, a command to copy, move L/R location points and paste commands, or open the editor and magnify to maximum all at the same timeMacro feature can send up to eight keystroke commands in one sequence from the keyboard to the computerWith any one of 36 programmable buttons and 12 pads assignable to macros, this feature can really provide time-saving and interesting workflow ideasPresets and MapsLittle to no setup required for the Reason userPresets can be setup for a ReWired DAW, VI or other software/hardware combination using the keyboard’s Internal modeUser settings are stored in non-volatile memory and retained even when the keyboard is switched off, with plenty of storage space availableTwenty 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 areaPreset can be loaded with any combination of maps plus you can load maps independently without affecting your other assignments
