Sure, it's only going to take a second each time, but add up how much extra time this is going to cost you when you're constantly flicking between plug-ins and you'll probably agree that it's a bit of an unnecessary pain, right? In addition the deep instrument and device control integration technology created by Nektar for Cubase and Reason enables transparent control, as if you were operating hardware.

I would find the MIDI output on the keyboards useful for hooking directly up to my older synth modules if I wanted to play them without turning on my computer, but as the P1 doesn't feature any keys or pads, it's highly unlikely that I would ever want to hook it straight up to a piece of hardware. This is not usually possible with controllers that use wrappers, because if the wrapper is focussed on, for example, channels 1-8 in your DAW, it will pass this information to all connected controllers so they will all be focused on the same thing. Control Studio One’s instruments and any VST®, VST3® or AU™ plugin from Panorama: In Instrument mode, all Studio One instruments such as Impact XT, Mojito, MaiTai, Sample One XT or Presence XT are pre-mapped for instant use. The dedicated communication protocol ties Panorama and your DAW tightly together so all you have to do is select the mode and menu you want to control.I’ve only been able to assign some pots to different controls in various instruments the same way I was able to in prior versions of Cubase. On the Panorama you see all available parameters for all plugins - UAD, native, 3rd party - but you have to see them on your display to know where they are and learn them that way. USB: MIDI information generated by a DAW or another type of application (such as an editor/librarian utility) will pass through Panorama to external MIDI devices.

Press Toggle/View to view their assignments – and press one more time to view the encoder assignments again. To transmit a saved sysex backup from a DAW, set your MIDI Tracks output to transmit to Panorama’s primary MIDI input port and simply playback the recorded sysex data.The Track and Bank (accessed via Shift) buttons allow you to navigate to individual tracks on the TFT or switch banks of channels in the Cubase Mixer. Even if you're not a Reason or Cubase user, Panoramas still provide you with touches of magic that you wouldn't get with other controllers. Velocity Curve*: This allows you to select the keyboard velocity response curve that suits your playing style. Panorama controllers now also feature the same super-tight integration with Cubase software and thankfully, Tim confirmed that they were working on bringing this sort of integration to other popular DAWs (although unfortunately he wasn't allowed to reveal which DAW was coming next).
