Description
Description
The Nektar Panorama P1 is a powerful MIDI controller with deep DAW integration.
The Nektar PACER is a rugged MIDI foot controller designed for DAWs, guitar software, MIDI hardware, and amp channel switching. With 10 programmable foot switches, 4 relays, and support for external foot switches and expression pedals, PACER gives you instant hands-free control over your setup. A single press can send up to 16 MIDI and relay messages to reconfigure everything at once.
Extensive Switching Power
Each switch can trigger MIDI messages, relay states, or multiple steps in sequence. With 24 presets available, you can program up to 6 actions per switch and recall complete setups instantly. From FX toggles to amp switching, DAW transport, or complex live show control, PACER is built to handle it.
DAW Integration
PACER is fully MCU (Mackie Control Universal) compatible, providing track and transport controls such as Play, Stop, Record, Cycle, Solo, Mute, and more. Nektar DAW integration adds even deeper functionality, supporting Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Reaper, and Studio One.
Clear Visual Feedback
The dual-row LED display shows presets, parameters, and values at a glance. Each foot switch has a 3-row RGB LED that shows assigned functions, status, and activity. The dedicated Preset switch and data encoder make navigation and programming quick and straightforward.
Flexible Connectivity
PACER integrates with both analogue and digital gear. Use the rear panel to connect up to 4 external foot switches and 2 expression pedals, plus 4 relays for amp channel switching. USB powers PACER and provides direct computer connection, or use a 9V DC supply for standalone setups.
