Pressing the display buttons labeled Cab1 or Cab2 will instantly assign the encoders to the controls for each of the cabs.
The amp controls are currently controlled by 8 encoders including Amp Type which is set to Clean. Here we show Waves GTR Stereo Amp VST insert plug-in controlled from Panorama. Panorama can of course only read the parameters that are sent by a plugin but thankfully many are pretty complete. The Nektar created maps include logical navigation and formatting of parameter names so it’s easy to understand how it all works.
Panorama’s Cubase and Nuendo implementation comes with a long list of maps for VST plugins including all Steinberg products and major software developers such as Waves, Brainworx, Korg, Rob Papen to name a few.
And when you are working in the sequencer environment you can use the zoom buttons to zoom in and out of elements. Using the Shift button additional functionality allows you to bank over blocks of 8 channels in Mixer mode so you can change assignments of the fader group from say ch 1-8 to ch 9-16. The view button changes what you see on your computer display with the mixer appearing in Mixer mode, the rack in Instrument mode and the sequencer appearing in Transport mode.
The Patch -/+ buttons change the patch of the current device with an added bonus in Instrument mode where the Data Control can also be used to fast scroll through device patches.
The 6 navigation buttons below, lets you step through the Reason sequencers tracks which in turn can change what mixer channel the auto fader is controlling or what device is controlled in Instrument mode. The display tells you at any time either what parameter they control or what menu they will navigate to.
First there are 5 soft-key buttons under the display with functions that update depending on what menu you are in. Panorama’s navigation buttons are logically laid out and easy to get to.
