Mix, play and control your plugins with real faders and knobs instead of the mouse. The Nektar Panorama P1 is a USB MIDI control surface with 16 encoders, 9 long-throw 45 mm faders, transport buttons and a 3.5-inch colour display. It is made for producers and mix engineers who want a compact controller that sits next to their keyboard or laptop.
