Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Panorama P1 puts a large bank of hands-on MIDI control into a compact surface about the size of a 17-inch laptop. Its 16 encoders, nine 45 mm faders, LED buttons, additional buttons, and footswitch jack provide immediate access to as many as 61 parameters. Store settings in 20 presets, use the color display for mode and assignment information, or work with its Reason and Cubase implementations. The extended transport controls keep recording and playback commands on the surface.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Reason or Cubase sessions needing integrated control and transport commands without constant mouse use.

  • Projects using assignable controls, F-key maps, or QWERTY shortcut sequences from the controller.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • OS X 10.11 or later users who require QWERTY macro assignments.
