Hey man, I’ve been considering this piece of kit so I’ve been going down the rabbit hole the last day or 2. I rarely leave comments on tutorial vids, but I wanted to say you’ve done a really fantastic job at showing the CS12 hardware and software off. Definitely the best I’ve seen here on RU-vid yet! Wanted to say thanks because all the other channels are just focusing on the typical surface level features, you may have been the one to have convinced me to bite the bullet. Thanks again, look forward to more videos on this if future updates come out etc. Cheers!
Great review - this control surface looks the best out there for Logic ! Does it automatically map to the controls within alchemy? Both the simple and and the advanced controls? If not can the knobs be mapped manually - and if yes is this easy to do? I need more than just one fader control (mapped to software controls) as may want to change more than one control in Alchemy at the same time. Thanks
Nice Video, By the way, do you know how to export VST automation, or how to include the VST automation when you export all you MIDI tracks to a single file? Thank you.
So I finally got the PCS12. But I wish someone would show how to map instruments from start to end. That's seems very hard to understand and no one is showing how it's done. Even the manual is hard to understand how to do it.
I have no idea how to use Nektarine, I was trying to map some commands from logic...but can't even follow your mapping thing...any useful tutorials of how to use this Nektarine software???????
This video is a literal goldmine of understanding. I just learned so much, thanks man. It was like the last secret sauce tidbits I needed to really solidify my understanding.
I have seen many vids, but I think u explained it where I could understand in plain English! :) If you have anymore suggestions, I would s till like another vid part 2, perhaps gain stage and how u mix. Thanks.
Love Geist 2. It plays well still on PC and older MacOS. I believe it to be a viable and comprehensible tool for beat baking. FXpansion created great software and I hope Roli who owns them ,decides to revisit it .
I like it.. What I wish they would have done was put a higher end led screen. That screen is like 2010 quality. Also maybe a more premium chassis. Other than that based off of everyones review it looks like a great Logic control surface. Great deep dive.
We need more of your expertise please. 🙏🏾 Totally appreciate the gain staging lesson which I struggle with most. But I will need to watch it a few more times to get the gist of fully putting into application.
woudl be nice if we coudl disable that 'analog behavior' from eth past and directly mix hot without first normalising to see something and then reduce teh gain again thats just stupid
Yeah, I’ve been waiting since February for mine. They claim it’s out, and didn’t communicate any delays until I reached out to nektar. They just shrugged and gave me the runaround with no indication on when it’ll be available. Not a great start..
This is helpful information. I usually just turn down the volume directly on the plugin, then use the mixer knob to adjust the instrument sound to taste in context with the other sounds in the beat/song. You exposed some new techniques. I'll be watching this video over, until I understand what you were doing with the gain plugin and the peak and loudness. Can you do a mixing tutorial video? Thanks for sharing your expertise. Blessings and peace to you and yours.
At the moment, the CS 12 uses smart controls in logic pro to manipulate synthesizer and instrument parameters. Nektar intends to hopefully add functionality that allows for deep integration as with audio processing plug-ins.
