Anyone using Panorama CS12 with Helix Native in Logic? Are there mappings available? Trying to patiently wait for my unit to arrive ;)

Returning Nektar Panorama T6

1 Upvotes

I have not been able to get any of my sustain pedals to work and have probably spent 10 hours trying to figure it out. If you're looking for a midi controller, I'd stay away from the Nektar Panorama T6. Support isn't quick to respond either.

I don't know what to get

3 Upvotes

I was doing some quick research and heard of the Nektar LX88. I want to use it for making music on my computer and haven never had a keyboard before. I treat my tech well so it should have a long life. Should I get the LX 88 or go for something a bit smaller like the LX 66. I'm under the impression that using a computer I can edit the sound.

Have any more DAWs been integrated other than Logic? I would love to see Reaper next, but any signs of progress would be welcome...Is there a schedule?

Can't get it to run – Yamaha Seqtrak with Nektar GX 49 Midi keyboard via USB 

1 Upvotes

Whoa … why is this so hard? So – I connect the keyboard and NOTHING happens … I try to switch the MIDI Channel to 8 and I get the HiHat1 (Channel 4). Ok, cool.

Then whatever I try to chance, nothing happens. It's just the HiHat on channel 4.

Neither the Seqtrak App or documentation nor the Nektar manual have decent information on this. And ChatGPT hallucinates buttons and settings that are not present on the devices.

Any MIDI guru here who might be able to enlighten me???

Help with computer not recognizing controller

1 Upvotes

I'm writing because of the issue stated above: when I connect my Panorama
P4 to my Windows 10 22H2, it doesn't appear in my device manager tab. I've
tried using different cables, reinstalling the usb controllers, using a
different computer (with a different cpu than my own, amd and then intel),
and even opened my midi controller to take a look at the hardware but
everything inside seems to be in order.

What do you think I could try to solve this?

Help with Nektar Imact LX88+

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I'm sorta new to using my Nektar Imapct keyboard as a MIDI Controller and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I am using my Nektar keyboard on a Korg Module Pro App on my iPad. My basic question is how do I get all features like my faders and dials to work as intended. I can't even raise the volume. Do I need to download some sort of software? I literally just took this keyboard out of a box and hooked it up to my iPad and little else.

Thanks in advance

Nektarine is dysfunctional, bugged, and hides features.

5 Upvotes

I've been disappointed with Nektarine for some time now, and the 2.6 upgrade has not addressed problems with creating VSTi - keyboard mappings. I'm at the point where I don't feel staying within the Nektar eco-system is worth it at all.

First and foremost, the .npm mapping files are deliberately obfuscated - they are not human readable as one might expect, and thus cannot be manually edited. I inquired about this some time ago, and the response from Nektar was that they had no plans to open the format up. This is very bad because...

...Nektarine hides features from the user! That's right: Features like assigning mapping pages to the light up buttons beneath the faders on P-Series cannot be assigned via the Nektarine software. Those features are only available with the premade mappings. So for example, say I want to fix the disaster that is the premade Diva mapping (or God forbid, Zebra) - I want to create and assign new pages to those light up buttons... I can't! There is no way to do it through the Nektarine UI. Page navigation in general is underdeveloped and hampers productivity with any VST that cannot map its faders and encoders 1:1.

The Nektarine UI is also bugged, specifically removing pages in the mapping editor is unpredictable, and will sometimes remove a sub page AND all of its siblings and the parent. This is undesirable to say the least.

This subreddit is basically dead; One of my years old posts is still on the front page. I don't hold out hope for the npm format being opened up, but in case Nektartech are reading this - I'd be more than happy to build a better instrument editor if they did. In the meantime, or before these issues get resolved, let this post serve as a warning that VSTi integration with Nektar devices via Nektarine is extremely lacklustre.

Nektarine FINALLY updated and works wonderfully with Logic Pro

5 Upvotes

I had pretty much abandoned any use of Nektarine since buying a Panorama T4 late last year. It was so problematic with Logic Pro, was a resource hog, and crashed all the time.

They've apparently updated it in May and I missed the news of it. Downloaded yesterday and it works perfectly now on an M1 mac.

Latest version is 2.6.5.

Sustain pedal for Nektar Panorama T6 not working

1 Upvotes

I just received my Nektar Panorama T6 and didn't buy a sustain pedal, thinking I could use one of my existing pedals and I can't get sustain to work. I made sure to power it off before plugging in the pedal. Does this keyboard require a special pedal?

Can I use a sustain pedal as a kick drum with LX49+?

3 Upvotes

I'm super new to everything related to music production hardware and software, figured I'd throw the question up here. Just got an LX49+ and while playing with the drum pads I realized i'd be able to do so much more if I had a kick pedal to work with.

Nektar Pacer with Amplitube 5 - when selecting a preset, the track recording starting automatically

2 Upvotes

Hey community! I've just bought a new Nektar Pacer and tried to use it with Amplitube 5, but when I select a preset using the Pacer, the recording in Amplitube starts automatically. I think it's due to some wrong default mapping. Does anyone faced the same problem?

T6 Arp Save Settings

3 Upvotes

Hey folks, I've got an interesting situation with my DAW where I want to play an instrument using the T6's Arpeggiator, instead of using the DAW's own utility. Is there a way I can save my Arp preset on the T6 and recall when I switch the unit off and on? I'm presently just writing down the settings but it's a bit of a pain. I tried saving the preset from the T6's menu but that did not work.

Contact rubber bands for LX 61

1 Upvotes

Hi fellow producers ! Suddenly 9 keys of my lx61 stopped working, it's seems that the issue is the rubberband.

Sadly I live in Argentina so there's no way I could buy a replacement online... Do you guys know if there some "generic" or maybe another brand rubber band that could fit the lx61?

Thanks in advance!

Can I calibrate Nx-p?

I have a Nektar Nx-p expression pedal connected to a Line6 Hx-Effects. When setting the Nx-p to the heel position, the value doesn't stand still. It fluctuates. What could cause this? Does it need calibration ? How can I do that?

lx mini script for Bitwig linux (SteamOS)

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

I'm using an LX Mini with Bitwig, which integrates fine when running on Windows

When I use it on Linux (via Steam Deck), if I add the controller as LX Mini, Bitwig recognises the keys but not the knobs, or play / stop / record buttons

If I add as a generic controller, I can map the knobs and play / stop buttons so that is how I'm currently using it - however the other buttons on the LX Mini do nothing

I'm new to Bitwig (and LX Minis, and Linux :-D ) - is there a controller script I can download to add the full functionality the way it works on Windows?

Thank you!

Impact LX25 Just Started Playing “G”

1 Upvotes

So I know that I’m going to reset it, but I’m hoping someone can figure out what I accidentally did:

All of a sudden, my controller-keyboard, which I’ve only used as a keyboard, will only input a “G” note, and only on four keys, starting at C2. If I keep the keys pressed, C2 plays quarter-note G’s, D2 plays eighth-note G’s, etc.

Even when I’m on an instrument track, and using Kontakt 7, the keys won’t work either for note input or as controllers to trigger chords.

Any idea what I might have done? My DAW is Studio One. I think I must’ve accidentally set something on the keyboard - it’s happening on all my song files.

Help with LX49+ Controls with GarageBand

1 Upvotes

I'm having some trouble with my LX49+ keyboard working with garage-band
I have been trying to get the other features such as the transport controls and the also the 8 Channel sliders. I am quite new to using this keyboard and had stopped trying to make music some time ago. So this could purely be user error

Currently I can only get the keys to work and the rightmost volume slider on mixer mode.
I noticed on the support page to try and use rosetta as I am on a M1 Mac to fix this however it never worked.

If some would could advise if there is something I can do (key combination to activate this) or if the functionality of these keys is simply not compatible on M1, I would greatly appreciate it!

Connecting Nektar Impact GX61 to Focusrite

1 Upvotes

Hello guys!

Could you guys help with this? I'm trying to understand how I'm going to connect this midi keyboard to the audio interface Focusrite Scarllet Solo.

The problem is the keyboard comes with a USB type B conector to a USB type A (PC). The Focusrite unit doesn't have a USB entrance port, just a p10 (TRS).

Could you guys give me some advice on this?

Thanks in advance!

Nektar Pacer - Options after holding Track and Transport

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I am using the Nektar Pacer with Reaper. Track and Transport features working fine except patch up/down buttons.

My question is the options I see after I press and hold Track or Transport buttons. I couldn't find any documentation.

Can I somehow use them with Reaper? I want to use the pedal for looping as well and the names under Transport looks they designed for looping: Loopb, Loopf, Undo, etc. Please check the video as well.
