What is Nektarine
Nektarine is a Nektar developed VST/AU plugin that allows expanded control of your plugin instruments with the Panorama T4/T6. This ap-
proach has some clear work-flow benefits that we believe far outweigh potential disadvantages. You can read more about how Nektarine
works in detail, once you have downloaded the installer package as described on page 5 in the section “Getting Access to Downloads”.
Here is a general overview detailing what you can expect from Nektarine:
Nektarine - The Benefits
•
Compatible with any DAW that can load VST 2.4, VST3 or AU instrument plugins.
•
Once setup, Nektarine allows you to play and control any VST 2.4, VST3 or AU plugin, even if your DAW is not able to host one of these
plugin formats directly.
•
Most popular plugins are already pre–mapped for control - so you don’t have to.
•
Mapping can be customized or created from scratch for any plugin. Expand the map, change parameter names, add pages etc.
•
Use ‘Learn” to quickly reassign controls as you work.
•
Nektarine’s browser loads plugin patches and enables you to quickly find the sounds you need.
•
Navigate the Nektarine browser from your Panorama T4/T6.
•
Using Nektarine, moving from DAW to DAW is easier. Browsing for your sounds always works the same way.
•
Works alongside Nektar DAW Integration to expand the power of your Panorama T4/T6.
Nektarine - The Obstacles
•
Some initial setup is required to get the best out of Nektarine.
•
Nektarine needs to be part of your work-flow. Otherwise it probably won’t work well for you.
We suggest you set up your default song with dedicated Nektarine tracks.
•
Legacy projects/songs require setup to work with Nektarine.
