www.nektartech.com Using Panorama with Reaper 9
Reaper Channel Strip Control
FX Sends
Controlling FX Sends work similar to how you control inserts. From the Mixer mode home page (press the Mixer button to get
there) press display button 3, labeled [FX Sends]. The FX Sends page now appears on Panorama.
In Reaper, make sure you have set up a few sends for the currently selected track. The sends appear in the Panorama display
as they are created.
The 8 encoders to the right of the display are assigned to control the Send levels. Move
encoder 2 to change the volume of Send 2. The green square indicator gives you a
visual representation of the sends relative levels with their actual numerical values to
the far right.
By default, FX Send 1 is selected. Use the data control to move the red outline and
select any of the other Sends. In the image, Send 2 is selected. This of course does not
change the function of the encoders, however selecting a send does affect the display
buttons.
The first display button allow you to switch the selected send on (or off).
The second display button can switch the signal routing to Post-Fader (off), Pre-Fader (on), Pre-FX (second on press).
Both the On and Pre status are clearly visible for each send in the display. In image 3 you can see that the first 3 sends are
on and send 2 is set to pre (fader). To exit the FX Send menu, press [Mixer] or any other mode button.
Channel
From the Mixer home page, now press the display button labeled [Channel].
The purpose of this menu is to provide a single channel focus of the currently selected channel particular for recording
automation. If your Panorama is equipped with a motorized fader, this is the same menu that's activated when you press the
Fader button.
The Panorama display provide you a slightly higher resolution fader view so volume changes are easier to follow.
The first display button allow you to switch automation "Read" on and off for the current channel and the second display
button, automation "write".
By default the Data Control can be used to control Pan for the current channel. Pressing
the 3rd display button labeled "Param" will toggle through Sends 1-8 and back to Pan,
changing the assignment of the Data Control in the process.
The 4th display button labeled "Byp EQ" allows you to Bypass the EQ if present of the
channel.
Finally the "Master" button views the status of the Master volume and if you have a
Panorama with a motorized fader, will lock the motorized fader to the Master volume.
In this display window you can also monitor the output level of Reaper.
