Using the Nektar Panorama T6 is a breeze. First, connect it to your computer via the USB port on the rear panel. It's USB bus - powered, so you don't need an extra power supply. For Windows, it works with XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 or higher, and for Mac, it requires OS X 10.5 or higher. If you're using Linux, it works with Bitwig or as a USB class MIDI device, but note that the firmware can't be updated on Linux. When you start, you can load patches directly from the keyboard. Use the included maps to control instrument plugins, or get creative and make your own custom maps. The chord function is really cool - just press one key or pad, and you can trigger up to 6 notes. The hold function is great for legato playing; just activate it, and the played notes will stay until you turn it off. The note repeat function is a performance booster. You can control the trigger rate, accent, swing, and gate in real - time. You can also set different parameters for keys and pads. And if you want, you can sync it to an external clock. To control the velocity, you can use the pressure on the pads or the wheels. When it comes to DAW control, if you're using Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Reaper, or Studio One, use the Nektar DAW integration. For other MIDI music software, rely on its MCU compatibility. As for maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on the keyboard or pads, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your Nektar Panorama T6!
