Nektar Panorama T4/T6 MIDI Controller Keyboards

[justin3am]

Sorry. Lots of questions and comments and I will get to them as I have time but for now I have to get some work done. I'm really happy to see such interest in the Panorama T-series and Nektarine.

@justin3am, thank for your perspective on the whole issue of MIDI controllers. It really surprises me people keep buying controllers with the same layout over and over again, I gave up after the second many years ago and I don't use my Push that much for programming synths even with the screen that shows name and value (but it is ok for lots of effects).

I just think that maybe if companies take bolder moves in the midi controller market they would be rewarded more, I think many of us have been begging for a good control surface, I just went with a System8 cause it works like my dream controller with Roland plugouts, and it has enough controls to map some other subtractive synths.

There will not be a Linux version of Nektarine.

It should be already time for Linux to be treated a first class OS.

It would be cool, but right now I'm happy to see Bitwig, U He and RME there, not using Linux for audio (but with those 3 on bard wouldn't mind it either), but when Windows 7 become XP, I'm gonna seriously think about it, by that time I hope Linux will raise, we all could use same distro for audio and developers would have easier time supporting that.

Well, that we can fully control BWS in Linux is a nice step in the right direction.

Any Ubuntu based distro should be good.

So any update on whether nektarine will be available (or possible) for the P-series?

Spoke to Tim at Nektar about this - Nektarine will be available for P-series users sometime before the end of the year.

I should clarify. We would like to have updates for our DAW support software (which are needed to make the P-series work seamlessly with nektarine) by the end of the year but as with all things related to software development, we can't guarantee we will hit that target.

I only say that because I'm notoriously hesitant to announce release dates until we have something ready. I hope you understand.

As a P6 owner, I am super psyched to have tangerine capability added BUT do not want it to replace or be in lieu of or replace any features/capability we already now have.

Question: can tangerine peacefully coexist and be used along with novation Automap?

Hang on, I just re-read this again carefully, and perhaps my being psyched was misplaced.

My main DAW is Studio One, and I also used Digital Performer, neither of which get the deep integration with P6.

Does that mean that once tangerine is added to P6 I won’t be able to use tangerine in those DAWs?

And Are you going to finally update P6 so it has deep integration with studio one? Pretty please with sugar on top!

[justin3am]

I don't know about tangerines but you (specifically) will be able to use your P-series controller with Nektarine. I really can't provide any further details. You will have to be patient.

[dbender]

Thanks!

It would be great, if Nektarine worked as a full blown mapping editor for Panorama P-series controllers and allowed export of those mappings as *.npm files for direct use in DAW's with deep integration.

Will there be Studio One support? How about an 88 key model? Thanks!
