    NEKTAR PANORAMA: THE MOST INTUITIVE WORKFLOW YOU HAVE EVER SEEN

    Panorama P4 goes way beyond the features of conventional USB MIDI controller keyboards, sporting a whopping 93 realtime controls, spectacular deep Nektar DAW Integration for 8 major DAWs and the most intuitive workflow you have ever seen. With its sensitive and dynamic semi-weighted keyboard action and pressure-sensitive pads, Panorama is the definitive keyboard controller for complete expression: Take DAW and MIDI control to a whole new level!

    • 49 semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch
    • 4 keyboard zones programmable with MIDI filters and program changes
    • Works with all MIDI music applications
    • Fully programmable realtime controls, 20 user presets
    • Motorized 100mm ALPS fader + Mute, Solo & Fader channel buttons
    • 12 pads with velocity and pressure sensitivity
    • Deep Nektar DAW Integration for Bitwig, Cubase, Logic, MainStage, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, and Studio One
    • Connect via USB to Windows and OSX

    SEMI-WEIGHTED KEYS

    Panorama’s keyboard action uses weights to offset the otherwise increasing tension you would experience from the spring. This delivers a clean down movement, and ensures that the keyboard is not heavy or fatiguing to play. What's more, the action's dynamic range is much wider than found on most other controllers and 5 different velocity curves allow you to adjust the feel to your playing style. Channel aftertouch, pitch bend and modulation wheels, plus foot switch and expression pedal jacks set you up for performance.

    TFT COLOUR DISPLAY

    The 3.5″ color TFT display delivers detailed information for each mode or menu, regardless of whether you are controlling your DAW or assigning MIDI functions. This ensures a fluent and fast workflow: Panorama takes the hard work out of operating a controller and makes operations straight-forward and simple.

    MAXIMUM CONTROL

    An unrivalled amount of assignable controls makes Panorama the most comprehensive and fully featured MIDI controller keyboard around: 16 encoders, nine 45mm faders, one 100mm motorized ALPS fader, 10 LED buttons, 28 buttons, 12 pads, foot switch and expression pedal jacks, keyboard with aftertouch, pitch bend and modulation wheels gives you realtime control of up to 93 parameters. You can store settings in 20 presets with individually savable and loadable keyboard-, pad- and F-keys-maps.

    PRO-CONSOLE FEATURES

    A motor-fader is great for mixing, because you can always see what's going on. Used with Nektar DAW Integration, Panorama's motorized 100mm touch-sensitive ALPS fader gives you pro-console mixer channel control: Watch the fader pick up and move to the current value when you change tracks, or ride it to record and automate continuous level changes. Additionally, two LED buttons control Solo and Mute – so no matter what mode you are operating Panorama in, you always have pro-console control within reach.

    INTERNAL MODE: GENERIC MIDI CONTROL

    Apart from all the pre-configured smart controller functionality, Panorama is of course also fully MIDI programmable: So you can use all this power to control external MIDI devices, modules or software. 20 presetsprovide a lot of room for that, and factory maps for eg. Virus TI, Prophet T8 or Minitaur get you started right away. The Control edit menu makes it easy to set up your own preset or F-keys map: Simpy select a control and assign the required MIDI command in real-time: MIDI CCs, Notes, Program, NRPNs and more. For each control, values can be scaled, reversed and assigned specific or global MIDI channels. Switching between Internal and Transport, Mixer or Instrument mode is seamless - so you can use all of the features at the same time!

    Pads with pressure

    Extended transport

    PADS WITH PRESSURE

    Twelve velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with 7 velocity curveswill inspire you to play in ways you would never do on a keyboard. And programming the pads couldn't be easier: Press a pad, press a key to assign…done. “Velocity Spread” quickly spreads one note across all 12 pads, each with its own fixed velocity. The “Scale-Function” assigns each pad to pitches within any of the pre-defined 30+ scales: It’s a quick way to completely change pad assignments while changing intervals or transposing the whole set on the fly - great for percussive performances.

    DAW devices such as Reason's ReDrum or Studio One's Impact XT are automatically assigned to pads in Instrument mode with their sound parameters on the knobs, delivering genuine drum machine feeling.

    EXTENDED TRANSPORT

    Being able to navigate projects from the keyboard enhances the workflow a lot. Hit play, activate record or to jump to a locator, it is all right where you need it: Panorama features an extended 11 button transport bar: Return to L, Forward to R, Undo, Click on/off, Record Mode, Cycle on/off, Back, Forward, Stop, Play and Record. Using the shift button, these also double up as 11 function buttons, each assignable to MIDI commands or QWERTY macro’s.

    With DAW integration active, the functions are pre-assigned to control Click, Undo, to set record modes and more.

    CONTROL YOUR DAW

    For Bitwig, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Reaper, Reason and Studio One users, Panorama is a dream come true. Of course you can use Panorama with any MIDI software, but the included Nektar DAW Integration software hooks up automatically to your DAW, so you can start making music right away, Panorama takes care of all assignments. It is just one button press to switch between controlling the Mixer, Instruments and Transport thanks to Panorama’s mode buttons, with the 4th mode, Internal, still providing access to traditional MIDI control.

    The integration with supported DAWs is so deep, that you can control it without constantly reaching for the mouse. Panorama gives you the creative freedom to just focus on your music.

    DEEP PLUGIN CONTROL

    With DAW Integration active and Instrument mode selected, you can tweak VST and AU plugins from Panorama for a true hardware synth feel. Many popular plugins are pre-mapped for instant use. Nektar factory maps are typically set up with envelopes on the faders and oscillator, filter and other parameters on the encoders for a unified workflow - but of course you can edit them to your liking easily.

    For supported DAWs, all internal processors and plugins like Logic's ES2, Studio One's Mojito or Reason's Thor are pre-mapped for instant use with parameter feedback on P4's crisp display. And these maps are deep: Access multiple pages for that true hardware synth feel.

    "...OK. It's performance capabilities are well worth the money. The ability to shape and control sound is beyond belief...." Read more

    Better than I expected
    5 Stars
    Better than I expected
    First off, I use Logic Pro X. I was using a Nektar LX25 because of the space saving and it was great but I soon realized I needed more keys. Since my experience with the LX series was flawless I decided to check out the P4. It looked a little pricey compared to its competition but I assure you this thing is in another league. This isn't a cheap plastic lightweight controller with toy-like feeling keys. This is a solid well built instrument. I noticed in other reviews that there was limited integration with Logic, they must not have it set up properly. I have a ton of instrument control, not only transport and mixing as some have said. Also, the feel of the keyboard in my opinion is great. That was one of the big selling points for me. If you are not happy with the feel then just adjust it... I didn't like the response out of the box but I adjusted it to my playing style and I love it. I hardly touch my mouse anymore using the P4 and that was my main reason for buying it. After using the P4 for a few weeks I realize that it was a deal for the price. I recommend that if you have a problem with the P4 make sure you have it setup correctly and know how to set it up to your liking.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Frechheit, was hier verschickt wird!
    Reviewed in Germany on November 24, 2018
    Das Keyboard war scheinbar original verpackt, es waren auch keinerlei Transportschäden am Umkarton festzustellen. Ich gehen daher davon aus, das hier die Ware von Nektar so ab Werk verschickt wird.

    Der offensichtliche Mangel des defekten Keys fällt sofort auf. (Sh. Foto)

    Es gibt dann zwei Möglichkeiten:

    a) bei Nektar findet keinerlei Qualitätskontrolle statt.
    b) es handelt sich hier um REFURBISHED Ware, sprich, Retouren die repariert wurden, wobei dann nach der Reparatur Punkt a) dazu kommt.

    Da nützt auch der Angebotspreis nix. Ich bin maßlos enttäuscht von der Firma Nektar => Keine Produkte mehr dieser Firma.

    Sonstiges zum Keyboard: Alle Keys klappern derart laut, dass man eigentlich nur mit Headphones spielen kann, um dass Geklappere der Tastatur selbst nicht mehr zu hören. Stücke oder Beats ohne Kopfhörer und über Monitorboxen einzuspielen wird damit zur Farce.

    Wenn das eine halbgewichtete Klaviatur sein soll, dann bin ich stark untergewichtig! Lächerlich, die Keys sind federleicht, haben kaum Masse und klappern deshalb beim Zurückfedern auch entsprechend.

    Der Motorfader ist aus Billigplastik im Chrom-Look, die Potis sind alle schon wackelig => ich vermute stark, es handelt sich um wiederaufbereitete Gebrauchtware, ab Werk, versteht sich!

    NULL Empfehlung!
