Installation & Setup

  2. Run the ‘Panorama_T4_T6_Reason_Support’ installer from that file and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Plug-in your Panorama T-series controller and make sure it’s switched on (if you didn’t do so already).
  4. Launch Reason.
  5. Open the ‘Edit’ menu.
  6. Select ‘Preferences’.
  7. Select the ‘Control Surfaces’ tab.
  8. Click ‘Auto-detect surfaces’.
  9. After a few moments of scanning, you should now see two control surfaces populated in the Control Surfaces window (Image 2-4 for MacOS, Images 5-9 for Windows).
  10. One is named ‘Nektar Panorama T-Series’ and the other is named ‘Nektar Panorama T-Series Mixer Mode’.
  11. Make sure both control surfaces are ticked ‘Use with Reason’.
  12. Close the Preferences menu.

Surface Locking
In order to control Mixer parameters from Panorama T-series Mixer Mode, follow these steps:

  1. In Reason, open the ‘Options’ menu.
  2. Select ‘Surface Locking’. You should see the window shown in Image 4 for MacOS and Image 9 for Windows.
  3. Set the ‘Surface’ option to ‘Nektar Panorama T-Series Mixer Mode’.
  4. Set the ‘Lock to device’ option to ‘Master Section’ (alternately, you can choose Remix 14:2, Remix 6:2 or even the ReGroove Mixer).

Now when the controller is in Mixer Mode, (press the Mixer button) you will have control over Mixer parameters.
