I hope they have made a change for this in the MainStage update from Nektar!Īnd then it’s the connection with MainStage… They only play from the keyboard and the sound thats ON the keyboard! Regarding the pads, I can’t change the controls-data to make them play single notes or trigger samples etc… The only two problems I have is the pads and the ability for MainStage to remember the keyboard! I just love my Panorama P6… Its a good “upper-shelf” keyboard and I use it with MainStage on all my tours! Reaper integration is free for all owners of Nektar Panorama advanced workflow keyboards and is available to download from Nektar’s website now. See the Nektar site for details. MainStage integration is free to existing Panorama users, becoming available early February 2015. Panorama’s motorized fader (P4 and P6 only) follows track selection for instant access to volume control at any time, in any mode. Options to control mute, solo, pan and sends are included for all 8 channels. Control up to 8 channels in a bank using the first 8 45mm faders and press bank over to control any additional channels. When it’s time to mix, Panorama’s Mixer mode transforms the instrument to a complete mixing console. And if multiple instruments are present on the same track, a simple selection menu allows complete navigation between the layered instruments. Map files can be customized or created by the user using a unique learn function. Nektar mapped instruments can be navigated using a transparent menu system. Parameter names and values are presented on Panorama’s high-res color display.

A press of the instrument button on Panorama maps any inserted VSTi, AU or DX instrument’s plugin parameters to Panorama controls. Panorama’s plugin map technology works transparently through Reaper, free from plugin wrappers or 3rd party software. With Panorama, Reaper users now benefit from transparent mixer control, transport and navigation plus for instruments and effects.

The update also offers deep integration with Reaper, the popular DAW developed by Cockos.

All important information is immediately visible on Panorama’s high-resolution TFT display, including Smart Control mappings, parameter values and the current Patch name in large font. The custom integration for MainStage is focused on live performance.

According to the company, adding Panorama takes MainStage to another level, providing complete transparency for the musician operating MainStage without having to keep a computer monitor within view. They now offer integrated support for Apple MainStage 3. At the 2015 NAMM Show, Nektar introduced an update to their flagship Panorama integrated keyboard controller products P1, P4 and P6.
