The Control Surface That's Pre-mapped to Your DAW!

Take control of Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Main Stage, and Reaper like never before with the tightly integrated hardware control that's only available from Nektar Panorama controllers. Because Nektar Panorama controllers are pre-mapped for these 5 DAWs, every control feature in your DAW software is accessible via the pads, faders, encoders, and buttons on this slick tabletop control surface. A large, clear TFT display even shows you what parameter you are controlling in real time.

Nektar Panorama P1 Control Surface at a Glance:
  • Command Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Main Stage, or Reaper from a single device
  • Complete channel strip control
  • Software parameters being controlled are displayed on a large TFT display
Command Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Main Stage, or Reaper from a single device

The Nektar Panorama P1 lets you say adios to your mouse. The P1 gives you iron-fisted hardware control over every aspect of five powerful DAWs (Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Main Stage, and Reaper), and it's also a powerful generic MIDI controller. But unlike mere mortal generic controllers, the P1 sports Nektar's advanced custom communication protocols that interface with Bitwig Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Reason, Main Stage, or Reaper with hardware-like solidity.

Complete channel strip control

There's a lot going on in your DAW's channel strips, and Nektar's Panorama P1 gives you complete control. With the P1, you'll be on a total power trip with immediate access to dynamics, EQ, inserts, sends, and more. You don't even have to look at your computer screen if you don't want to. P1's large color TFT display lets you see what functions you are using and what the settings are in real time. Using the P1 with Bitwig Studio, Logic Pro X, Reason, Cubase, or Nuendo is pretty close to using a hardware console in terms of your workflow efficiency.

Panorama Series (P1, P4 and P6) Supports These DAWs:
  • Bitwig Studio
  • Cubase
  • Nuendo
  • Logic Pro
  • Reason
  • Main Stage

Exquisite Control and Integration

I'll add my voice to the chorus of users who find the P1 to be a fabulous tool. The integration of this control surface with Reaper is stunning. It's as though Nektar and Reaper were one company developing a single product. The P1 has sped up my work flow. Couldn't be happier with the P1.

Perfect with Reaper

After installing the proper driver/template (easy to do), the P1 worked seemlessly with Reaper. Reaper integration is deep, as advertised. I love the super clear TFTdisplay. The components are plasticy, but at this price I don't care. The unit feels solid and well-built nonetheless. And since it can access up to 64 tracks, there's no need for a giant, room-filling mixer.

If you have Reaper, I highly recommend the P1.

Logic Pro + P1 + iX61 = Perfect

I purchased this controller about 6 months ago, and later added their iX61 keyboard.(nice) I went this route , separate keyboard and separate controller, as it is more in line with my workflow ... which is more post production. And as of Sept/2015 .... this setup is a godsend with their release of 'full' Logic Pro X integration.. No one has done a tighter/deeper integration with Logic than these lads. And it is all natively tied together. No VST wrapper. No AutoMap! No middleware. It is VERY tight. - It's stupid simple to use. Well designed. Looks great on my work table. Layout is very intuitive.

I must also give Nektar high praise for it's excellent and personal support. Funny, smart, dedicated. A top notch team.

If I was allowed one complaint ..... it's the glossy black finish. We all know why glossy black should never be on something you need to touch all the time. --- And .... No ... 'flesh tone' is not the answer.

Buy 1 ... and make some music ..... without the same droning 4/4 drum beat ... please. Thank you.

Amazing product, awesome company!

Their support is stellar! They are very responsive, the owner of the company contacted me personally to answer my questions. Works AMAZING with Cubase 8 Pro and almost every one of my VSTi plugins, the ones it didn't support out of the box were fairly simple to create a profile for. I love it.

Excellent Controller!

I had read great reviews of the P1 and Panorama series, and decided to give the P1 a try to move beyond more basic fader/pad controllers I've used in the past. Without a doubt this is one of the best, if not the best programmable desktop fader, transport, knob controllers. My first P1 had a defective LCD that failed in the first week, but Sweetwater support replaced it quickly and was great to work with. Nektar support has also been excellent (thanks to both companies for the great service!). Second unit is working perfectly. The ability to program Internal mode to QWERTY commands (or CC, note, etc) is a huge plus for this unit. It is deep in capabilities and works very well with Cubase/Nuendo. Faders and knobs are smooth. The unit is well designed and build. The fader caps are a bit loose compared to Akai faders, but that is rather trivial by comparison. The LCD is clear and programming really is easy - it just takes a few minutes to learn the layout and screen options. All in all this is an excellent controller.
