Nektar has released an update to their line of keyboard controllers that includes both DAW integration with the just-released Propellerhead Reason 9 and mapping for the three new Player devices included in Reason 9. Note Echo, Scales and Chords, as well as Dual Arpeggio, are custom mapped, offering users real-time control. Impact and Panorama continue to support any Reason version from 5.0 and up.
Taking advantage of the new control options in the Reason Remote SDK, Panorama now allows full control of the ReDrum step sequencer. As drums are triggered or selected using the pads, steps can be quickly edited using the LED buttons. If a step is active, the LED is illuminated, clearly indicating the sequence and state of each step.
By using Reason 9 Standard Mapping, the Panorama and Impact LX controllers can now support up to 387 Rack Extensions. Standard mapping is a new approach that maps the most important parameters of a device to a predefined layout. Since controls are mapped to the same parameters across Rack Extensions, it’s easier to control devices when changing tracks. Standard mapping doesn’t replace the existing custom mapping for legacy devices but instead provides a uniform and faster way to generate mapping for new Rack Extensions.
This is a free update to all registered users.
