Nektarine Pads Profile
The Pads profile handles MIDI differently from the Keys profile which is why the pads view is not visible when the Keys profile
is selected.
To toggle between the Keys and Pads profile, press [Shift]+[Instrument] on Panorama T4/T6.
When the pads profile is selected, the pads on Panorama T4/T6 are red as a visual cue. If the the 'DP-1_Factory_Soundbank'
has been imported in Nektarine, it's now possible to load the Multipatch kits either from the Nektarine software or from the
Browser menu on Panorama T4/T6.
Pad Setup
The pads on Panorama T4/T6 can be programmed and configured in the Nektarine Pads View, as described in the online
Nektarine manual section
4.
Pads.
The only parameter that's not applicable to Panorama T4/T6 is the pressure parameter. All pad settings are stored with your
DAW song/project or can be stored in a Multipatch.
Pad Bank 1-8, 9-16
The pads profile's pads 16 pads can all be played from Panorama T4/T6 but of course only 1 bank at a time.
Activate the [Pad Bank] button to play pads 9-16 and deactivate [Pad Bank] to play pads 1-8.
Controlling Plugin/DP-1 Parameters
Control of instrument plugin parameters works the same way as when the Keyboard profile is active but the workflow has
been optimized for pads.
Press [Instrument] to activate control. If you have loaded one of the 'DP-1_Factory_Soundbank' multipatch kits, every pad
will play a DP-1 with a unique sound. DP-1 parameters can immediately be controlled using the 8 encoders on Panorama T4/
T6 and update as new pads are played.
Many drum machine plugins have been mapped for the same experience so striking a pad will select the correct control page
with the parameters that correspond to the sound played.
To lock a pad's control page, disable the 'Select pad via MIDI' button in Nektarine's Pads View, as described in
4.14 Pad Lock
and Omni Off
buttons.
