Panorama CS12 is the channel strip controller for Cubase, Fender Studio Pro, Logic Pro, Nuendo and Reaper. Integration is deep with complete DAW, instrument and insert effect plugin control.
Instrument Control
Panorama CS12 controls virtual instruments from simple to complex. A top-level home page give instant access to favorite parameters and get to it at any time by pressing the plugin slot button.
Detail pages are linked from the home page so you can go deeper into a specific oscillator or filter module immediately. For very large instruments there may be more pages than navigation buttons but all pages are accessible via the Menu/Data encoder.
In Logic Pro, CS12 can access up to 256 parameters per plugin. Cubase, Fender Studio Pro, Nuendo, and Reaper support up to 1,024 parameters per plugin.
What's Your EQ?
From SSL, Waves to FabFilter, Universal Audio or your DAWs own EQ plugins, Panorama CS12 is perfect for EQ control. The 12 analog pots are often enough to control up to 4 bands of EQ on 1 page.
More than any other plugin type, EQs benefit from Panorama CS12’s Fine (high resolution) control option. You will notice the difference when controlling frequency.
The color coding gives visual cues to the layout of the parameters, often following the colors in the plugin itself. Customize color coding to your liking and you’ll soon know how to control your favorite EQ without needing to look at the plugin UI.
The Workflow is Advanced, Yet Simple
Panorama CS12 connects directly to your DAW so you can start working straight away with any of your projects. The display shows plugins hosted in the current channel and pressing one of the corresponding LED buttons selects the plugin for control. It’s that easy.
In the video the Mai Tai synth, Beat Delay and Compressor plugins are selected and controlled immediately. The track name Mai Tai is displayed just above the display button labels.
Control is fast and feels like your plugins and hardware are one and the same.
Automation
Automation can be activated directly from Panorama CS12. Better still, you can also select automation modes like read, touch, auto-latch, cross-over etc.
There are even options that are specific to CS12, such as Auto-touch. With Auto-touch selected, automation is only written when the fader is touched.
This allows you to freely adjust any other control without accidentally causing automation capture.
Set the Loop, Move the Loop
Set left and right locators to just the right loop. With complete freedom, move the loop across the timeline by turning an encoder.
Use the dedicated Goto Left and Goto Right locator to jump straight to the loop point.
Create markers and with a button press, move the play head to the marker position and the loop points with it.
You don’t have to learn Panorama CS12s power features to appreciate its liberating workflow. It’s the many details like the ability to move through your timeline, that makes Panorama CS12 special.
Function Control - Preset Select
The two function encoders are labelled Zoom and Tempo. With the Zoom control you can quickly adjust both horizontal and vertical zoom.
The Tempo encoder give you much more freedom with selection from a list that includes Playhead (jog), Nudge, Loop (move forward/back), Vertical Zoom, Clip Gain and Focused Plugin Preset Select.
Preset Select scrolls through the currently controlled plugin’s presets, as long as they are present in the DAWs browser. Presets must be saved for 3rd party plugins.
