Digital Performer Setup and Troubleshooting: Panorama T Series
There are no files to be installed, in order to use the Panorama T-series with Digital Performer. The T-series controller will emulate a MCU controller, for Mixer and Transport functions.

- Plug-in your Panorama T-series controller and make sure it’s switched on (if you didn’t do so already).
- Launch Digital Performer and create a Project, or open an existing one.
- Go to the ‘Setup’ menu.
- Select ‘Control Surface Setup…’.
- Click the ‘+’ button in the upper right corner. (Image 1)
