Nektar Panorama P4

[alkota]

Anyone have one of these joints to use with Reason? If so... any thoughts? Reviews?

[skoolafish]

yes i have one, it's the best midi keyboard i ever used. its hard to even classify it as a midi keyboard, its more of a hybrid solution like NI's maschine.

it's almost like using a standalone synth workstation with reason inside it

ive been gushing over it for the last week and im kinda burnt out on praise, so ill just say this. if youre a heavy reason user (esp 6 and up), or reason/record - if you were ever a strictly hardware person - asr 10, triton etc...it is 110% safe for you to go ahead and buy this keyboard.

Hey I plan to use this with reason and ableton.

Saw a lot of midi controllers but at first sight this is the one that i seem to understand.

There is only one thing im concerned.

The m-audio has around 50 memory options.

So for example I can select memory 1 and ill be controlling cubase instantly.
memory 2 ableton
memory 3 logic, and so on

The panorama hAs mixer, instrument, transport, and Internal mode

Are this equivalent to the memory functions on axiom?

Say if I select internal can i be instantly in ableton. And can i have multiple memorys to select other daws at the same time?

Thank you in advance!

I think Reason is the least of them all.. I just use ableton.

I plan to use it on live performances with ableton and reason at the same time.

Can i switch it isntantly to control reason and then ableton and then reason and then ableton and so on?

sorry late reply. no mixer, instrument, and transport let you move around in reason. think F5 (mixer), F6 (instrument rack), and F7 (transport/sequencer)

internal is for all other DAW's other than reason. what you are calling memory, sounds like you mean presets. and yes in internal mode there are some generic presets that you can assign to whatever you want, or create your own

They are gonna be adding more Daws to be fully supported software, so for now to control abelton you will have to set it to standard midi control behavior when not using reason.

Wow this is great news.

Anyway ordered it avfewbdays ago. But this is a plus to know they will be improving the software.

Thank you for the answers.
