Make your Panorama T4's knobs work in GarageBand

GarageBand plays the keys, but ignores most of the 8 knobs, 9 faders and 26 buttons on the Nektar Panorama T4. KnobLink connects them: it recognises the Panorama T4 the moment you plug it in.

Questions

Does the Panorama T4 work with GarageBand?

GarageBand plays the Panorama T4's keys and pads, but ignores most of its knobs and faders. KnobLink connects those too: knobs move the instrument's Smart Controls, faders set track volume, transport buttons work.

Do I need to set up the Panorama T4 by hand?

No. KnobLink recognises the Nektar Panorama T4 by name when you plug it in and knows its factory settings. If you changed its settings, KnobLink asks you to move the changed controls once.

Does it work with Logic Pro?

KnobLink is made for GarageBand. Logic Pro has its own controller assignments.
