Nektar Pacer USB MIDI Footswitch Controller with Nektar DAW Integration

Product Information

To this point in my Nektar Pacer review, I've already covered most of the details of the setup I used to test the unit, but I'll do a quick summary for those skimming and to pull it all together. It's main competition is the Behringer FCB1010, but in a direct comparison we'd prefer the Pacer, just because it feels stronger in your hands and seems to be built tougher. The display will show the name of the currently selected control, then after a moment, the display will say ‘SETUP’. In operation, the first three footswitches in the top row of five allow you to select between preset, and the read-only Track and Transport modes. Though it's important to keep in mind that your experience with the Pacer will certainly depend on the gear or software you try to use it with.

PACER's connectivity features allow you to integrate analogue amps with conventional footswitch sockets into your setup just as well as software guitar apps or other MIDI-capable hardware. It seems that if I inadvertently turn the wheel, I just need to press the Preset footswitch to get back “home. If you want to load Patch 5 on the target device, you would need to use a Program value of 4 on Pacer. Nektar DAW integration supports: Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Reaper and Studio One. The CCs used in this preset, the CCs used in this preset are good for MIDI learn purposes, because they are not commonly used.Turn the Data Encoder to select the CC value, which you would like to transmit for the first press of the selected Stomp Switch (or the Maximum value for expression pedals).

We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. Bien qu’utile, cette traduction ne résoudra pas tous vos problèmes, il vous faudra tout de même en suer pour pouvoir utiliser ce pédalier avec toutes ses possibilités. But for basic functionality, the Pacer can definitely give you a fair amount of controller over your studio software, all from a floorboard that can be controlled by your feet. Unfortunately, the Pacer's rather limited screen display isn't always a tremendous amount of help, as it doesn't have the ability to display user-generated labels for pedal functions or states and relies mainly on CC and NRPN numbers and RPN labels to indicate footswitch status.If you would like to configure several presets to have similar functions it can be useful to copy a preset to a different preset slot. Solo artists/"one man/woman bands" are strongly encouraged to post, but all loop artists are welcome!
