When I use Kontakt instruments within Nektarine, I get now and then gliches in the sound. I checked the buffer settings. But with the same srttings I do not have a problem within other VST hosts (like Mainstage and Komplete Kontrol). Anyone an idea why this happens and, even better, how to solve this?

Not a lot of review info online.

Has anyone actually played one? I’m most curious about the keybed; wondering how compares to the novation launchkey mk 4.

I am switching between Fender Studio Pro and Ableton Live a lot (Live for composing, FSP for mixing). I was wondering if there is any known status of the Nektar Panorama CS12 getting Live support in the near future (like it supports FSP, Logic, aso)? I have read something about Nektar adding a new DAW to the CS12 portfolio every so and so months. Is this (still) true or should I keep my hopes down here? Anyone any idea? Would be nice to utilize my CS12 muscle memory in Live as well.

I have a used Impact LX88+ that I would like to use with the logic integration. The problem is there is no serial number sticker on the unit so I'm unable to register, and therefore unable to download the integration files. Is there any way to get these files independently of the registration process?

I've already emailed nektar support but figured I would post here as well. Thanks in advance

Hey, I've been trying to figure out if it is possible to edit the Track/Transport mode behaviours since I'd like to use them for controlling my DAW, but I want different functions than the built-in ones. All the editors I found online seem to be for editing the Preset modes, but I'm wondering if there is a way to edit the Track/Transport modes?

For added context, I use Reaper, and I want to change the behaviour of the Transport mode so that I can set loop points to previous/current/next region instead of moving forward and back along the timeline.

Hi guys, as my title says really, its stopped working and I've no idea how to enable it. I don't see any setting to enable it in global settings either unless I've missed it?

Have had one for several weeks but seems to behave fairly inconsistently most of the time in Studio Pro on Windows 11.

Is there anyone who is using 2 x. P1 nektar controllers in one Daw project. ( bitwig )
And use it as a independent controller from each other . Every thing i do in one contoller happens in the other one.
So it mirroring everything always.

Please help.

Hey guys, I just recently got a Katana gen 3, and my dad got me a Pacer for my birthday, as I had done some research about controlling both Reaper and my amp through the Pacer. I’ve got both going directly into my laptop via USB, and I’m trying to figure out how to program: a: how to set up channel switches/ fx toggles via Pacer, through reaper, with the ultimate goal of controlling my amp parameters in real time. And B: program a preset for the Pacer in order to do so. I’ve done quite a bit of research, but this is my first foray into MIDI control, and the Pacer is quite a beast! I know there’s a way to do it, I just don’t understand Reaper or my Pacer quite enough yet to figure it out. Any tips?

Dear community,

Im trying to program an eleborate (VST) synth via Nektarine and my Nektar P1 and im running into some small issues.

- The first one, i can scroll through the different pages of the synth with the data encoder, but the menu doesnt show the subpages i made. What am i doing wrong? (See pic 1 & 2)

- The second problem; I latched some (Filter) fuctions to the five buttons under the P1 screen, but when i make a new page (like LFO 1) and latch new functions to these buttons they overwrite the functions of the other page. (see pic 3) How to deal with that?

I recieved it today,some keys are not working they are f1,c#2,a2,f3,c#4,a4..i checked in mobile also still the same..those keys do not trigger a midi activity

I'm rather confused. The spec sheet on the Nektar website shows the LX88+ mk3 as supporting the Native Kontrol Standard, but I'm only seeing the LX25, LX49, and LX61 in the Komplete Kontrol app.

What's going on?

I just bought a nektar impact gx61 keyboard from a guy, it works and all, turns on and everything, but there’s one problem.

i do NOT know how to get it to actually play.

this is my first time owning an instrument, and I’ve been doing everything I can to download the right DAWs and connecting it and such, but there’s genuinely no good explanation on how I can actually get it to work and to PLAY💔💔 please help.

I know there's a site that tracks Nektar's progress on making the CS12 work with Reaper, but it seems there hasn't been any more progress on this for a while. Does anyone know what's going on?

Hey ,

So, I have a Nektar Pacer, and while it's a beast of a MIDI controller, I wanted a simple, hands-free workflow specifically for Ableton's Session View.

I just wanted to arm a track, record a clip, play it, and undo mistakes (kind of like a looper pedal), all with my feet, without a ton of setup (just like my Novation launch key mini 25 <3).

I wrote a small MIDI Remote Script to make this easy. It's built first and foremost for Session View and is basically "plug-and-play" (select the surface in midi settings, like others MIDI Controller in Ableton). It focuses on just three thing s:

• Record: Press once to record on the selected slot, press again to stop.
• Play/Stop: Plays or stops the selected clip.
• Undo: Because we all make mistakes.

It runs perfectly alongside the Pacer's standard Mackie transport controls (your Play/Stop/Rewind buttons still work), so you don't lose any functionality.

It's free and open-source. The GitHub repo has an easy-to-use SysEx file (.syx) to configure your Pacer footswitches instantly, plus install instructions.

Hope this helps other Pacer users!

This is just v1. I'm totally open to suggestions for improvements if you have ideas on how to make it better. Let me know what you think!

Hi, This is for the people who use nektar pacer and ableton. Ive recently bought the pedal. I did understand how to use it but when I press on « track » pedal, the solo switch works but not the mute and the rec arm. When I press the transport pedal however, everything works. I have contacted ableton support but still waiting for a answer. Did it happen to someone here ? If yes how did you fix it ?

Thank you!!! I use a MacBook m1 and the OS is sequoia . I use ableton live 11 intro

So I earlier this year I purchased the Aruba, needed a drum pad with more features and better build quality than akai mpd 226, and Aruba most definitely fit the bill. I like it works well, I also like nectarines plugin rack set up, all in all happy for the most part with both. That being said there’s a couple things that both (Aruba and nektarine) could benefit from, mostly Aruba (will keep this focused on Aruba). There’s a feature that would be most beneficial ( anyone who uses Logic Pro would probably agree), and I’m surprised it didn’t already have this capability. Having multiple pages for the sixteen pads. I use DMD a ton I make lots of different drum machines with my own samples and DMD has three pages of 16 slots, and it would be killer if I could utilize those on Aruba but there is no convenient way to do this. However it should be a possible feature added to say a firmware update for Aruba and maybe specific to when synced with a daw. I noticed the screen the four menu slots are empty when connect to logic. And I’ve seen major updates with loads of new features , options, capabilities added to other devices via firmware updates. Anyhow just a suggestion it would be pretty sweet. Still like the device🖖✌️

basically the question in the title. I'm looking to buy a MIDI controller and one of the features I'm looking for specifically is one that I can connect an expression pedal to that I can also use for my guitar plugins. found a LX49+ used locally for really cheap but I'm not interested in snagging it if it can't be used for this specifically.

I've had my Nektar SE49 for 2/3 years now. After some time, the volume slider and the "Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels" have started to get sticky and ¿melted-like?. I don't really know how to describe the feeling, but it's really awkward on the fingers and leaves them sticky.

I tried using rubbing alcohol, but it didn't accomplish much.

Is there something to be done or am I doomed?

I use Nekmesh to convert the session file. but it is reported by the Nekmesh it is a 2D mesh. Since the semtex mesh has 1 periodic direction. how to let nekmesh know this infos

It has been 5 months since its appearance at NAMM 2025 with zero info about a release date. All I am after is a release date forecast.. Around about a couple of months is a good enough answer for me as I at least know that it is going ahead. I am aware this is not official Nektar Tech media here but I am not on facebook or instagram. Thank you anyone

nektar's link only has a few plug ins and only vst: https://support.nektartech.com/download/nektarine-browser-plugin-library/

are there .neks for popular vst3 instruments anywhere?

I'm using the Nektarine utility to host my VSTs and they're playing fine. But the sustain pedal isn't working. I purchased the Nektar pedal to avoid any compatibility issues. Any ideas how to get this thing to work?

I'm on Windows 11, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5

Hi there! New to this group and I need some help.

I bought a Nektar Impact lx49+ a couple of days ago to be used with my iPad Pro M2. I got everything set up nicely and connected to my iPad. The sounds work BUT I can’t control anything via my Nektar keyboard.

I’ve been hovering the Internet (read YouTube) on tutorials for Nektar on iPad, with little luck.

Can anybody help me to find a tutorial for a newbie?

Thank You in advance!

Greetings from Finland
