High Resolution Fader with a Touch of Class!

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.

Paired with a dedicated pan control, as well as buttons for solo, mute and record arm, you have instant access to all main mixer parameters on the selected channel.

 

Control Any Parameter NOW

Control any parameter by simply clicking on it. The 100mm ALPS fader immediately jumps to the clicked parameters position and you take over from there. The fader or pan rotary, can be used to control any parameter in the currently selected Logic Pro channel, at any time.

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. Super easy.

 

Create Clean Automation, Easy and Fast

Recording 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 done!.

Jump to the next position in the timeline and insert another automation point. Clean, easy and fast.

Complete Insert FX Plugin Control

CS12 with Logic Pro plugins

Panorama CS12 excels at 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.

Via 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. 

Plugin Slot Selection

CS12 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.

 

PRECISION CONTROL AT 10X RESOLUTION

14 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.

So why not keep Fine on at all times? That’s 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.
