Nektar Panorama Remote Maps Thread

[Carly(Poohbear)]

Here's something weird that sometimes happens on my T4. I drag an instrument in and the keyboard maps to it. Then I drag a new instrument on top of the old instrument to replace the first one and it doesn't map at all. Maybe that's normal?

No that is not normal, both my P's and T's change the mapping to the correct instrument...

Hmmm. I’ll need to experiment further.

If any of you want to follow this video I will make the mapping Omnisphere 2 for you...

I don't think this one can be mapped, I created a mapping to work with the grab functionality. You are limited to about 500 controls.
However You have to enable the control manually in Omnisphere then you can grab it, Hmmm.

Found this note.
All Host Automation assignments are stored with the Multi, saved with the host project file, and can also be saved with a MIDI Learn Template.

NOTE: You can enable up to 256 Host Automation parameters. If you need more than 256 assignments, consider using MIDI Learn together with Host Automation.

Technical Considerations

There are 256 parameter slots in Omnisphere that can be automated, numbered from 0 to 256. These slots correspond to the list of parameters that can be automated in the host or on your control surface. For example, slot 0 is the first parameter in the host or on the control surface, the next one is number 1, etc. You can assign any parameter in Omnisphere to one of these slots using "Enable Host Automation". The parameter will be assigned to the next available slot and may then be automated from the host or control surface. Automation ID numbers correspond to the ordered list of parameters that can be automated in the host or on a control surface.

Parameter automation is capable of two-way communication. If your host and control surface support it, your control surface can display the names of the parameters controlled by each knob or fader, and each control can automatically update to show the current value of a parameter. For example, Mackie Control displays and automatically updates parameter names in real time. Motorized faders can move to show the current values of parameters, which is very useful when opening songs that contain plug-ins controlled by the surface.

Some hosts have a limit on the number of parameters that are available to be Host Automated. For example, some only permit the first 128 parameters of a plug-in to be automated. In others, the limit is 1024 parameters. By comparison, Omnisphere has nearly 20,000 parameters!

If you're working in a host that limits the number of automation parameters, you can also use the MIDI Learn feature of Omnisphere to automate Omnisphere's parameters. The combination of Host Automation and MIDI Learn gives you powerful real-time control of virtually every parameter of Omnisphere.

I purchased Omnisphere 2.6 recently and have had issues with grab functionality when using the Panorama Remote Map on Dropbox as discussed here. The only way I got grab to work is by reverting to Nektar's official P6 Remote map.

I did get and load the Nektar Template for Omnisphere, but I'm a little fuzzy on whether or not that is for Omnisphere's manual keyboard mapping system, or if it has any bearing on the Remote Grab functionality? It seems as if there are mutiple ways to skin the cat here. i.e. Remote grab, Load Template (provided by Nektar for Omnisphere), and custom Remote Map.

If I use the Remote Grab operation and do not use Carly's Remote Map with Omnisphere entries. then the grabbed parameters have no labels on Panorama P6, only values. And if I use Carly's Remote Map with Omnisphere entries, it shows the knobs and sliders via Pages, but has no programming per se, and it also does not allow Remote Grab to work. Another quirk I discovered is that when I am able to Remote Grab with Nektar's default Remote Map, Omnisphere control won't happen until you leave that Omnisphere screen tab and then return to the same screen, then I can control it.

Despite being able to do some Remote Grabs. I'm confused as to the role of Nektar's Template that get's loaded, and also why I can't use Remote Grabs when using the latest Remote Map from here? It's enough to make me want to forget controlling Omnisphere with Panorama P6.

My grabs do work however as stated you have to manually enable the control in Omnisphere, right click a control and select "Enable Host Automation" then you can grab it, you can save that as a template.

I was not in impressed with Omnisphere so hence I did not bother to fully map it.

I have just had a bit more closer look and originally I said I don't think that Omnisphere could be fully mapped which is true due to having over 20000 parameters (according the documentation) however I would say we could setup a mapping for the main stuff. This will have to work the same way that the Lush101 mapping works as in you have to load a templete inside of the instrument then the mappings will work.

Also note Nektar have not released a mapping for Omnisphere 2 just for Omnisphere 1

[wendylou]

Thank you for the explanations. I loaded up your Remote Map and was able to grab and control Omnisphere. It seems I have to "Enable Host Automation" every time on each control in Omnisphere 2.6 before I can grab and assign on the P6 using Shift. Nevertheless, it works. Thanks!

Correct however you can save that (under the big Utility button) so next time you can load the template and then just grab the controls.

So the real way forward would be to create that template in Omnisphere then create a remote map to those settings...

Hello, is it also possible to request custom maps?

I have made an Excel file as Carly requests in his help-us-to-help-you-video, but with an extra column stating the hardware control I would like to use to control the remotable in question and the manner of switching between the pages, which is a mix of the Nektar mapping with that of PoohBear.

The reason for this is the way I (or maybe everybody?) synthesize using FM synths, namely per operator with the accomanying envelope controls (if that makes sense)

If custom maps are not provided by you guys (which I would perfectly understand regarding the amount of work), would it at least be possible to make such a mapping at all? Because then I am going to try myself, but if it won't work at all it is a waste of time, obviously.

Thanks very much in advance for any info/mappings?!

Best regards,
TheBlackBox

Thanks for the excel file.

Hello poohbear..

I am looking for a synapse audio obsession rack extension support for my p4. That would be a dream to be able to operate directly from the p4. Do you happen to have that in the works?

Thanks a lot for your maps

I don't own that RE, if you create a Excel spreadsheet per the video I will do a mapping.

Hello Poohbear,

Thank you for your offer to help me. I also started creating the Excel. Unfortunately, I believe that an important support is missing in obsession. You can switch between the OSC with a switch and this switch is unfortunately not supported remotely. I am writing the days of Synapse Audio to see if they can incorporate that.

I hope the Google translation manages to translate it understandably

[IamFredrik]

I have installed my P1, updated the firmware and installed the reason mappings. Everything works fine, but when I download the map from dropbox and try to use it I get no mapping for Europa and all the new RE's I got with Reason 11 suite.

I downloaded the PanoramaP1.remotemap and copied to "C:\ProgramData\Propellerhead Software\Remote\Maps\Nektar".

My firmware version is 01.14.03

Any ideas how I would go about troubleshooting this?

Zip up the info file and upload it here, I 'll have a quick look at it....

When you go into the Control Surface I take it the P1 has green ticks for it? (are other instruments working?)
Both Nektar and the mappings you downloaded include Europa (note I can't remember what from the suite has been mapped as I don't use those instruments that much) so that is a weird one.

Yes, it has a green tick. I opened the remotemap file and and Europa is mapped. It seems like it doesn't load the file.

[Carly(Poohbear)]

These are the last few things that were mapped do any of them work?

None of them works. I just get the no mapping screen. Older RE's works like thor and subtractor. I've double checked the file and I can see mappings for the RE's, but no go.

Do you have any Nektar stuff here "C:\Program Files\Propellerhead\Reason Suite 11\Remote\DefaultMaps"

First of all, thank you for all your help!

I was about to take a screenshot of my C:\ProgramData\Propellerhead Software\Remote\Maps\Nektar directory when I saw I had saved my orginal remotemap in a folder called backup in that directory. I deleted it and now it works!

Again, thank you for your help!

Excellent, glad you are working, there is a note to say not to backup in place and this was also a reason I wanted to see a screenshot, it has caught me out many a time as I work with different version etc. so you are not alone on that one
