MUSIO is the best bang for the buck and sounds amazing

No scrub/jug wheel?? But why?

„they dropped support for Cubase“ can mean 2 opposite things and I love it.

Thanks for this great review. No needless blabbering, straight to the points! I had no idea the Avid S1 and Dock worked with Cubase, but they're way more expensive, plus you my need 2 iPads... 😢 I really love the plugin knob mapping, and QC mapping, and the track volume. Such a nice touch. Again, thanks for your great content, enthusiasm and the time spent making such quality content. 🙂

How does it work with virtual instruments ?

I'm so glad controller capability has improved so much in Cubase since they brought in the scripting. This functionality is fantastic. Now they just need to improve how QC controls work in Cubase with midi CC controls. I've found my Korg nanoKontrol2 still can't quite be configured with QC with how you'd naturally want it to work.

They need to get MPE right! Thats the goldmine ;)

Are you still using it or did you return it to Nektar?

Hey Brian, thank a lot, once again a great video from you! I got the CS12 and use it with Cubase 13 & 14 on Mac. The fader won't let me write any automation. It reads automation though and all the other knobs on the unit also write automation

Great video!!! I just got mine and can't figure out how to assign the assignable buttons for Talkback on/off and another for DIM main mix. I configured the commands but it doens't work. Do you know if those are possible to configure within the CS12 Script?

I had a lot of controllers in the past and my conclusion is…at the end the fastest way to work in Cubase is the mouse and the big Stream Deck

Might pair this with my P4 keyboard cockpit and replace my cc121. Really wish Steinberg would partner with Nektar release this and modular sidecar multifader and jog wheel in a fully supported cubendo 14 environment in 2025.

the celeste is driving me mad, and the trills.....not great

Hi. Great video. I just received my CS12, thanks to you. I have a problem with Nektarine software. I've created patch list from Serum. Everything working fine, just I have no idea how to switch patches from CS12. I see name of the patch, I can tweak parameters but it not allow me to flip thru the browser. If you could help I will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hey Brian, I have the CS12 and all functions work as described. With one exception: the standard function of the fader. It does not respond to the selected channel (setting volume). (Cubase 14.0.10 - Daw Integration 1.1.0, latest firmware) Any ideas? Do you still have the protocol that you used in the video?

Jog wheel? 🥹

Yes, and I have forgotten to say: many thanks for your very detailed review.

How's the build quality? I've read a lot of negative reviews about it

The product is a Nektar Panorama CS12

An excellent overview, fair, detailed and enthusiastic. Thanks for putting this together! Point about controlling send levels using the fader noted.

Great video, focusing on real life use.

Excellent review!! Thanks for running with C14. I have the Panorama P1, which has multiple faders but it's quite hard to use for fading duties, mainly because with large sessions it is often not clear which channels you control. a single motorized fader makes a ton more sense! 6:30 when you clicked Attack / release on the UAD, the knobs didn't seem to turn when you moved the fader... the value on the display didn't change either. Might be some UAD specific glitch? 6:40 my master is always at unity (unless I do a global fadeout, which is very rare) reassigning SHIFT+Select to the Control room would be awesome though.

Will this work with Cubase 12?

Vvvv

I wish they recorded something in addition to the trills. It got old pretty quickly. The rest of it is so refreshing, though.

I don't know about the "best" controller. Have you seen what the MP Controller does with Cubase? It's been out for a few months

I bought it from Guitar Center from Seattle WA but it came out from china thanks

You are the only one who made nektar on cubase video it is great

will it work for Nuendo

That clip gain and zoom function with the rotary knob is that also possible without this controller? Just with a rotaryknob om my keyboard?

Super comprehensive review! Thank you! 🙏

Thanks for this. I've been siting on my CS12 for so long waiting for them to finally add Cubase support. So far, it's been great. The firmware update was easy and now I'm learning the ropes. I was missing out on a ton of stuff cause I didn't read the manual and was just messing around today. This helps a lot.

This must be a rugged unit, judging by the way you shake the unit. Good expensive mouse for the thick wallet guys.😁

Excellent video, thanks! Someone mentioned that the screen isn't very good - do you have an opinion on it? Is it bright enough?

Needs Bitwig support pronto

Wow! Not even the official Nektar medias have announced it but you did! Thank you!

very interesting thanks. I wa considering Icon V1M. BTW: what techno do you use around 23'40'' to open your plugin list and select one ?

Hi, good review... thanks.! Would have valued seeing it in use with the Cubase mixer Channel Strip and all its other FX available there, (or even in the Channel Settings window, using the four band EQ, the High/Lowpass filters, etc..). Also, at 0:19 the Avid Artist Control unit you display in the overlay, is no longer available (hasn't been since 2021.?). However, 'second-hand' price range for these, I've seen for between £250 - £350 on ebay...? Which could be a realistic option for some. The 'lag' with response time in switching channels and accessing its properties - could get annoying before too long I reckon.

cool ! ❤

great review - thank you. I bought one today because of this review so hopefully the manufacturer will see this and give you a well deserved kick back...good job!

By far the best review. Testing all the functions in real situations. I'm just wondering if there is a button to activate/deactivate each of the effects sends. Thanks

Thanks for the video, I was waiting for Nektar to release the Cubase integration since they launched the CS 12 more than a year ago and then I discovered that day they dropped it thanks to your video! Did you try it with Instruments too? It seems from their documentation that to control instruments you need to host them inside the nektarine plug-in. Did you try this? Also did you try to create custom mappings for FX plug-in with the Nektarine app? It seems that in these way, you can create custom pages and sub pages and then the maps are accessible without hosting the plug-in inside nekatarine, that is needed only for instruments

Great. But a controller without jog wheel is not a controller. And an encoder is not a jog wheel.

good overview, thanks

If anyone knows, Video Creator or anyone, at 23:29, he hits a hotkey and then types in 1176 and it pops up with a big window in the middle of the screen sort of like Spotlight search. Does anyone know what that is? Is it some kind of add on? He hit a hotkey in it popped up basically a spotlight search where he was able to search and pull up his plug in which seemed really handy.

Awesome, just ordered mine thanks to you!

Nektar owes you a free CS12 controller after such a comprehensive review!! Just one question - Was this compatible out of the box? or did u have to load a script separately? Asking cause Nektar markets the CS12 only as a Logic controller.

Just one fader? It's no better than a mouse

Nice, logical editor makes me dyslexic somehow, can’t get my head around it, think the descriptors confuse me, was never very good at computer programming

Good job, well done!
