Panorama CS12 är en avancerad channel strip-kontroller för Apple Logic Pro, Steinberg Cubase och Steinberg Nuendo. Mixersektionen är utrustad med en 100 mm högupplöst motoriserad fader, en dedikerad ratt för panorering, tydliga volymmätare samt knappar för Arm, Solo och Mute. 18 knappar är tilldelade DAW-transport, kanalval, tidslinje/loopparametrar, automatisering på/av, fönsterhantering med mera. 11 RGB-belysta knappar ger val av plugin-slot. Välj plugin och 12 st 360-graders encoders tilldelas omedelbart för att styra den aktiva pluginens parametrar, oavsett om det är ett reverb, delay, kompressor eller liknande. En "Fine"-kontroll ökar upplösningen med 10 gånger över standard MIDI vilket ger otroligt detaljerad kontroll.
Panorama CS12 is a dedicated DAW channel strip controller initially supporting Logic Pro 10.8 or higher. The compact desktop controller’s liberating workflow is optimized for direct plugin control with one button access to Logic Pro’s plugin slots, sends and channel mixer.
High Resolution Fader with a Touch of Class!
A 100mm ALPS motorized fader follows the selected mixer channel when you work. With up to 14 bit resolution, you get detailed control with touch sensing enabling automation override and update captures in real time. Paired with a dedicated pan control, as well as buttons for solo, mute and record arm, you have instant access to all main mixer parameters on the selected channel.
Create Clean Automation, Easy and Fast
Recording automation can get messy with lots of data generated even when a simple fader is needed. Panorama CS12 solves the problem by giving you the option to insert automation points. Touch the fader, set the value with the fader, and done!. Jump to the next position in the timeline and insert another automation point. Clean, easy and fast.
Complete Insert FX Plugin Control
Panorama CS12 excels at controlling plugins. You can control any plugin without looking at the plugins’ UI so you can focus on creating, composing and editing. Many commonly used plugins are pre-mapped including of course Logic Pro’s own. Panorama CS12 dedicates 12 RGB illuminated 360 pots, 4 display buttons and an additional 4 RGB LED buttons to plugin control. Every control can be assigned on multiple pages ensuring as a complete plugin experience, with no parameter left behind. Via the ControlCore mapping system, it stores all settings in unique files so they can be ported to other computer systems and ensure compatibility with other DAWs in the future.
Any Plugin? ….Really?
*Any plugin that presents its parameters for automation in Logic Pro, can be controlled from Panorama CS12. That includes Logic Pro’s own plugins and any AU plugin hosted in Logic Pro. There is no wrapper or plugin host. It just works.
Plugin Slot Selection
CS12 control insert plugins like no controller has ever done before. The 8 plugin slot select buttons are illuminated when plugins are present in the first 8 slots and the top button toggles between slots 1-8/9-16. Press a button and control the insert plugin immediately. Press another button and now control that plugin.
Control Any Parameter NOW
Control any parameter by simply clicking on it. The 100mm ALPS fader immediately jumps to the clicked parameters position and you take over from there. The fader or pan rotary, can be used to control any parameter in the currently selected Logic Pro channel, at any time. Activate the Select button and the motorized fader now controls any parameter you click. Any mixer channel, instrument or insert effect plugin parameters. Click, control, click control. Super easy.
Plugin Parameter Learn
A plugin quick learn feature enables assignments on the fly. It’s as simple as moving a parameter and moving a control to complete assignment. And while you are at it, change the LED color of the control too.
Nektarine Map Creation
For the ultimate in control mapping, use the included Nektarine application/plugin. Assign parameters to controls using drag and drop, create your page structure and name parameters and pages so they are optimized for CS12. Once saved, plugin maps are picked up by ControlCore for use with CS12.
Precision Control At 10x Resolution
14 bit control resolution is not limited to the motorized fader. With the Fine button (magnifier icon) enabled each of the 12 pots control at 14 bit resolution. In practice this means you’ll be able adjust parameters with the same fine grained values available through your plugins UI or up to 10 x regular control resolution. So why not keep Fine on at all times? That’s of course possible and maybe it’s even preferable for some users. When you control at 10 times the resolution it’s not possible to scroll through all values in one rotation, you need 9 or 10 rotations. Switch So in that case switch ‘Fine’ control off. Watch the video and move the timeline in your own tempo to see Fine control in action.
Set the Loop, Move the Loop
Set left and right locators to just the right loop. With complete freedom, move the loop across the timeline by turning an encoder. Use the dedicated Goto Left and Goto Right locator to jump straight to the loop point. Create markers and with a button press, move the play head to the marker position anytime. You don’t have to learn Panorama CS12s power features to appreciate its liberating workflow. It’s the many details like the ability to move through your timeline, that makes Panorama CS12 special.
