Nektar Pacer USB MIDI Footswitch Controller with Nektar DAW Integration

A cracking piece of kit, does the job perfectly.

OK it is a bit tricky to program - but if you want it to do more than make tea it is always going to be challenging. If you are reading this you already know what it does, but you might not know there is a free third party editor available online or to download as an app which makes it a dream to program. So well-built and connects to virtually all midi devices. Best bit of kit ever

bought to replace a behringer fcb1010 and it is a MASSIVE upgrade. Really well designed, feels quality, and it just works - where the fcb1010 just doesn't.

Having to use the weird janky online preset builder wasn't ideal, but it did work. Would be nice if there was a 1st party app for the same application and more instruction.Manual was unusable for creating presets on the actual pedal.Cant fault build quality or function, and the relays are very useful.

There is no information on how to set this up either online or in the supplied manual. It will function as a basic DAW transport controller with a little bit of setting up but unless you have nothing else ever to do in your life don't even think about trying to customise it as a MIDI controller. I use an Akai MPK88 perfectly well as a MIDI controller so I know how MIDI control should work but I spent a soul-destroying weekend trying to guess (the only possible way to work it out) how to make the Nektar Pacer function with Mainstage before deciding I have better things to do with my life and it's straight back for a return.

Good unit whilst it worked, but after 18 months of ownership, barely being used in the studio, it completely died. Stick with the FCB1010, those things are built to last a nuclear war

What can I say..if you need something to control this the baby to do it - amazing and also is a must have link to Keyboard Maestro software! got it on special for £150 added bonus!!
