Gator GKC-1540 Keyboard Cover for 61-76-key Keyboards + Nektar Panorama T6

Description

Why do you need the Gator GKC-1540 keyboard cover? One word: Dust. Dust is the enemy of electronic keyboards. It can wiggle its way into buttons and switches and build up to the point that their operation is compromised. Plus, dust that infiltrates your keyboard's keys can settle on contacts, resulting in erratic performance (if not total failure).

Your Music Production Command Center
The name Nektar is synonymous with deep DAW and virtual instrument control, and their Panorama T6 MIDI controller keyboard takes the concept to the next level, giving you an unprecedented level of control over your plug-ins, mixer, and transport controls in any VST/AU-compatible DAW. Your mouse will collect dust as you browse and load patches and take charge of the parameters directly from your T6, its LED Instant Feedback display keeping you up-to-date on the status of everything. Use the included maps or create your own to control instrument plug-ins. Explore powerful performance tools like the T6's chord, hold and note repeat functions. Savor the silky feel of the T6's second-generation Panorama keybed with aftertouch and five velocity curves, the responsiveness of its pressure-sensitive LED color performance pads, the smooth throw of its nine faders and eight encoders, and the confident click of its eight assignable LED buttons. The Nektar T6: your music production command center awaits.
Superb 2nd-generation Panorama keybed
Your Panorama T6 boasts Nektar's second-generation Panorama synth-action keybed. The keys are dampened and meticulously balanced for medium activation force across the keyboard. There is also a choice of five velocity curves that shift the tension from soft to hard to suit any playing style. Further, a fixed option lets you set velocity values via controls such as the pitch and mod wheels. Assignable aftertouch makes it effortless to modulation sounds while playing two-handed parts. The first-generation Panorama keybeds received high marks among Sweetwater musicians. Now the T6 takes expressiveness and playing feel to a new level.
Beats to go
If you're a keyboardist, you're already a finger drummer — which means you'll love the Panorama T6's eight large velocity and pressure-sensitive performance pads. The ideal vehicle for beat creation, the T6 pads are extremely expressive. Triggered at a very low threshold, they will flawlessly capture ghost notes and flams. You can also calibrate each pad individually for optimal performance. For use as MIDI trigger or toggle buttons, the pads can be assigned any MIDI note number or MIDI control change (CC) message. And assigning sounds is dead easy. Simply activate Pad Learn, select a pad, play a note or drum sound on the keyboard and it's assigned. The Pad Bank Button left of the pads gives you access to another eight pads, for a total of 16 pads per pad map. Eight pad maps are always available for instant recall.
The T6 pads work beautifully with Nektar DAW Integration for automatic mapping of dedicated drum synths such as Bitwig's Drum Machine and Reason's Kong Drum Designer, giving you a tight, integrated drum machine feel, including full visual LED color feedback on the pads. You can even assign chords to the pads and use the Pad Repeat feature to create rhythmic chordal figures. The LED display’s Velocity Spread soft-key instantly spreads your last played note across all 16 pads, each with its own fixed velocity, making it easy to generate nuanced, consistent dynamics. Need a fixed velocity level? The T6 has you covered with its VelFix option.
Key Repeat and Pad Repeat
Located just above the pitch-bend and modulation wheels are the Key Repeat and Pad Repeat buttons. The Repeat function repeats at the set rate. Change the rate in real time from 1/4 to 1/96 note values, change tempo, add a bit of swing, or set an accent interval. The pads and keys have independent repeat settings, so you can set one for the drum beat and the other for another instrument. The Repeat's trigger mode can be set to sync with the beat or to repeat from when you play a note. The Clock source can be set for either internal or external MIDI clock. Whether you're creating repetitive chord progressions or adding flams to drum beats, the T6's Repeat feature is a creative way to explore ideas and capitalize on "happy accidents."
Rock-solid Nektar DAW integration
Nektar's Nektarine DAW Integration software takes system integration to the next level. Nektar creates this custom software for each supported DAW to provide you with a common workflow that gives you access to expanded transport and mixer functionality as well as control of your DAW's internal instruments. It all adds up to an amazingly integrated and complete DAW control system. Panorama T-series' DAW integration currently supports Bitwig, Cubase, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, and Reason.
