TAKE MY MONEY! || Nektar Panorama CS12 

So you are mapping plugins differently than Nektar did? How different is it?

99 out of 100 times I like the automation to be a 100% what I did with the fader instead of some linear curve with 2 points which I can create with a mouse in 3 seconds. But yea, as an additional feature it's ok

@@huberttorzewski as I do agree with you, when it comes to editing 1000 points... I hate it. more often then not it takes me longer to clean up the dots than it would have for me to just draw it in.. considering we can match every thing with curves & such I do with there was an option to convert it so we get the best of both worlds.

@@huberttorzewski agree. That is what I was thinking. What if I want to automate curvey lines?

​@@Mansardian I'm fairly confident you can toggle the feature off if you want some crazy curves

Scary part is they dropped supporting and updating features to a lot of DAWs where only the transport buttons would do anything. Still helpful, but not what people were buying into.

Nektar products always felt half baked to me.

I think Nektar said Cubase was next on their list for support for this device. I don't know how the faders feel on the new iCon pro series, but they have been clever enough to use a touch display with a grid overlay to make "buttons", so that they can have correct label for any daw (and they support simple keyboard macros for user presets, not a Elgato Streamdeck replacement but much better than the typical Mackie controller). They also have a way of controlling last touched parameter, in that case by using the jog-wheel, I suspect that works in Cubase, not sure it works in every daw.

I use the SSL UC1 UF8 and UF1 with Cubase. I’ve been using them for a while in Ableton Live and they work great. I recently switched back to Cubase after several years away. So far the integration has been solid… There’s a few things different about how it works, but it works. I’ve been enjoying it

There is the issue though with plugin support. Softube added some fabfilter plugins, but I don't think they support sonible. And I'm not sure what else Wytse is using.

Continuous.

mine too - but 3rd party plugin control is lacking - as the 360 link plugin is half baked still.

@@massivebeatzz it’s clear SSL is dedicated to this ecosystem though. It’ll get there.

There was indeed something weird going on with the pre-amp of the camera, I’ve RXed the crap out of it… well heard!

With the press of a button, you can jump between sections/pages of a plugin.

@@velanche Thanks ! That's the answer I hoped for.

MP MIDI since the stand alone update is bloody fantastic.1 use it for so much more than just music stuff. I was keen on this one for a while but I think I’m off it especially after watching this

@@ApiaryProductions the mp midi is much more versatile

They updated the Controller DAW software to Control the DAW itself…… 👍🤙🔥

I remember a comment from Nektar themselves somewhere, they said they would be adding Bitwig integration eventually.

That's really only an issue with potentiometers, which have a start and stop range. Most decent 'pots' on digital equipment these days are rotary encoders - they have no limit on range and will just increment values depending on which direction you turn them in. So no workarounds like jumping or take-up are necessary.

3D printing

@@Whiteseastudio Cool! Any chance to share the model?

Its not really perfect yet

I use a G13 and G600 MMO combo.

The CS12 has a much higher resolution than Midi

He used to before he switched to Reaper. But he's not actively using it anymore. It was only for this video. (As far as I know of course.)

Better Controller Capabilities with update.

😂

It is optional

As far as I know you have to pay for those channel strips with a UF1. I only got the SSL meter for free with it. And they’re quite expensive when not on sale.

@@LanewoodStudios you're right. By the UF1 it's only the Meter Plugin. With UC1 you get 3 Channelstrips and the bus comp. now with UF1, UC1 and UF8 I have them all 😉

I have one of their Panorama keyboard controllers. The Cubase integration broke around The time Cubase 11 came out and has not ever been addressed and I’m not holding my breath. Not only that, the motorized fader has failed. I would think long and hard before giving Nektar another dime of my money.
