A 100mm ALPS motorized fader follows the selected mixer channel when you work. With up to 14 bit resolution, you get detailed control with touch sensing enabling automation override and update captures in real time. Togetherwith a dedicated pan control, along with buttons for solo, mute and record arm, you have instant access to all main mixer parameters on the selected channel.

Control Any Parameter

Activate the Select button and the motorized fader now controls any parameter you click. Any mixer channel, instrument or insert effect plugin parameters. Click, control, click control. It's that easy.
Create Clean Automation
Easy and FastRecording automation can get messy with lots of data generated even when a simple fader is needed. Panorama CS12 solves the problem by giving you the option to insert automation points.
Touch the fader, set the value with the fader, and you're done! Jump to the next position in the timeline and insert another automation point. Clean, easy and fast.
Complete Insert FX Plugin Control
never look backPanorama CS12 works perfectly for controlling plugins. You can control any plugin without looking at the plugins’ UI so you can focus on creating, composing and editing.
Many commonly used plugins are pre-mapped including of course Logic Pro’s own. Panorama CS12 dedicates 12 RGB illuminated 360 pots, 4 display buttons and an additional 4 RGB LED buttons to plugin control. Every control can be assigned on multiple pages ensuring as a complete plugin experience, with no parameter left behind.
Using the ControlCore mapping system, it stores all settings in unique files so they can be ported to other computer systems and ensure compatibility with other DAWs in the future. Once you've experienced this level of control, you'll never look back.
Customizing Plugin Mapping
Plugin Slot SelectionCS12 control insert plugins like no controller has ever done before. The 8 plugin slot select buttons are illuminated when plugins are present in the first 8 slots and the top button toggles between slots 1-8/9-16. Press a button and control the insert plugin immediately. Press another button and now control that plugin.
Plugin Parameter LearnA plugin quick learn feature enables assignments on the fly. It’s as easy as moving a parameter and moving a control to complete assignment. While you are at it, you can change the LED colour of the control too.
Nektarine Map CreationFor the ultimate in control mapping, use the included Nektarine application/plugin. Assign parameters to controls using drag and drop, create your page structure and name parameters and pages so they are optimized for CS12. Once saved, plugin maps are picked up by ControlCore for use with CS12.
Precise Control at 10x Resolution
‘Fine’ control14 bit control resolution is not limited to the motorized fader. With the Fine button (magnifier icon) enabled each of the 12 pots control at 14 bit resolution. In practice this means you’ll be able adjust parameters with the same fine grained values available through your plugins UI or up to 10 x regular control resolution.
You can keep Fine on at all times, which is of course possible and maybe it’s even preferable for some users. When you control at 10 times the resolution it’s not possible to scroll through all values in one rotation, you need 9 or 10 rotations. Switch So in that case switch ‘Fine’ control off.
Set the Loop, Move the Loop
complete freedomSet 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 anytime. 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, which is what makes Panorama CS12 special.
