www.nektartech.com Using Panorama with Reaper 7
Reaper Channel Strip Control
In addition to the multi-channel control we have just covered, Panorama can control a complete Reaper mixer channel strip
including EQ, Inserts and Sends for the currently selected channel. A channel is selected either by its association with a track
(changing track changes the channel also) or by using the LED buttons when assigned to “Select”.
EQ
From Panorama's Mixer mode home page (press the Mixer button from any other menu
to activate) you have access to the channel strip controls. Each of the menus only affect
the mixer audio channel that correspond to the track that's currently selected.
Start by selecting an audio track and press the first display button labeled [EQ] to open
the EQ menu. The ReaEQ plugin is not loaded by default so press the display button
labeled [Create] to insert the plugin.
You can now enable/disable each of the 4 EQ bands in the Reaper channel strip using
the first 4 display buttons.
The top row of the 2x4 encoders allow you to control gain for each of the bands and the
bottom row controls the frequency.
Press the display button [Q->] to change the assignment of the bottom row of encoders
to Q.
You can toggle back to frequency using the same button.
Next change the track , create and tweak EQ settings for other tracks without leaving
the EQ menu. Notice that the info-bar updates the track name and Mixer Channel
number as well as the EQ settings as you make a change back and forth between
channels.
Press the [Mixer] button to exit the EQ menu and return to the Mixer home page.
Inserts
The Inserts menu is the second option from the Mixer home page. From this Panorama menu you have access to control any
of up to 16 plug-ins that can be inserted in each audio mixer channel in Reaper. First step is to press the second display
button labeled "Inserts" from Panorama's Mixer mode. This will open the Inserts page.
Here you see each of the 8 slots which on a newly created track will be empty. First try
adding a plug-in effect on the currently selected track in Reaper inserted in to slot 1.
Panorama is immediately updated and you will see the name of the plug-in in the first
square field that represent slot 1
Next add a few more insert effects. Once you add more than 8 plugins, you’ll be able to
navigate to the next page of 8 inserts using either the display button labelled [9-16] or
the Data Control.
