Nektarine Controlling Plugins & Parameter Learn
Control & Page Navigation
The control page displayed when [Instrument] is first pressed, is the Instrument Home page. You can get back to it any time
by pressing [Instrument]. The home page contains assignments for the most commonly used parameters.
•
The faders are for the most part assigned to control envelopes. Press the 9th fader button to toggle the encoder/faders
display view.
•
If the LED buttons are illuminated, it means that a control page can be selected when an illuminated button is pressed.
As the buttons are pressed the display updates to show page names and assignments.
•
You can also navigate all pages by pressing the [Menu/Setup] button. Move the [E1/Data] encoder to scroll through the
list of pages that appeared on the display, and press the display button labeled [Enter] to select.
•
If you navigate to another mode, such as [Mixer], when you press [Instrument] again, the last selected control page is
displayed. Press [Instrument] again to select the Home page.
•
In many cases subpages are used to provide more pages within a section. A synth's oscillator may have more
parameters than 8 in which case 2 subpages would be used. A single display button can then be set up to toggle between
them or dedicated display buttons can be assigned to select each of the two pages. Read more in the online Nektarine
manual chapter
