Review: Awesome value overall - This company started out focusing on controllers for Reason, which may have been reasonable at the time, but Reason has more or less been left behind. Still, Nektar has kept up with supporting other DAWs, and I'm using this with Logic. That works better than one might expect, when everything cooperates of course. Most of those controller setup problems probably mostly stem from Logic not this. I have tried many controllers for Logic, none are rock solid, but most are useful. Nektar also have a special plugin host called Nektarine, it comes with the unit free, and you can control your plugins by adding Nektarine as a plugin and scanning and adding your plugins inside Nektarine. This is a great idea too, although it's somewhat limited as it follows the old Reason policy of "MIDI In, Audio Out." Would be great if they allowed Audio In from the sidechain input, and MIDI routing macros that let you control the plugins following your instrument as well. The keybed has somewhat mixed reviews, but I've decided I like it. I completely see the criticisms, the white keys have quite a deep travel, are a bit mushy down, and a bit noisy coming back up. This is explained by the design objective, which is channel aftertouch that's actually good enough to use for once. For decades, aftertouch has been summarily ignored because the keybeds weren't designed for it. This one is, and it works well, without an abrupt all-or-nothing trigger curve. That causes the mushiness. The loud return isn't so very bad. Some people play hard but are afraid of sound and keep their headphones or speakers low, these are the people bothered by this noise. I don't hear it with headphones at a normal 85dBSPL. I don't think overall the keybed is so bad as to reject the unit, but maybe some perfectionists will. There are lots of well-thought out features beyond the controller and aftertouch. There is an expression pedal input as well as sustain; this is a huge win in my opinion and sealed the deal with my choosing this. Expression pedals and aftertouch mean you don't need expensive breath controllers to do two-fisted expression on sustained instruments. The wheels are nice on this too, the pads are great, very convenient shortcuts like shifting the pad octaves quickly, eg for keyswitches. Build is nice for the price. The nice thing about Nektar is, unlike Arturia or NI, they aren't trying to sell you anything but the controller and its needed software, so it works well with virtually anything. I ended up also getting the Panorama P1 so I could add this controller to my Hammer 88 weighted keyboard. I swapped out the fader knobs with standard mixer fader knobs I prefer. The faders start stiff but break in fine. The company has an enormous challenge supporting a giant matrix of DAWs and plugins but is keeping up well. Nektarine and the Logic integration are both Apple M1 Silicon ready. It's all an excellent value and should be carefully considered as you shop for controllers.
Review: Fantastic keyboard - It took a little while to get it to wrok, but my limit knowledge was the reason for this, once I understood how thing worked, it did what it was build to do for. So many options, and it even came with a nice surprice, a lot of free software from Cherry audio to use as stand alone, or as plugin for your DAW. highly recomanded.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Keyboard for Propellerhead Reason!
*by S***Z on November 5, 2018*

I've been a long-time Reason user, and this keyboard is an excellent tool for the DAW. The action of the keys is great, and the 8 encoders are a blast to use. They really help me dial in a good sound from my soft synths without having to touch my keyboard/mouse. It does a take a bit of setup, but the instructions are really clear and I had it up and running in no time. I had an issue after setting it up, so I sent nektar support an email. In less than 24 hours, they had the answer and I was back on track. I haven't had any other issues since. As a Reason user, I think I'll be picking up Nektar products in the future!
