Any switch can be programmed to select a preset. Each control within a preset is programmable with up to 6 "steps" or actions . These steps can be sent simultaneously or in a sequence of presses. What's more, an additional 16 MIDI-messages or switch states can be programmed to be sent upon preset loading: So just one stomp can have a dramatic effect and reconfigure your whole setup! SWITCHES 1 - 6 You can program the switches to send MIDI messages , control one of PACER’s 4 relays or to load presets . When DAW Transport or Track functions are assigned, the top and middle row icons are illuminated by default. Each switch can change up to 6 actions simultaneously or in a sequence of presses. That’s a lot of switching power right there! SWITCHES A - D These switches are fully programmable, but factory assigned to the following A: Track preset (for DAW control) B: Transport preset (for DAW control) C: Load previous preset D: Load next preset This can be reconfigured to send any other function or MIDI message. DISPLAY AND LEDS A red LED display with two rows shows the active preset name/number, mode and selected parameter and value. The data encoder with push switching right below makes parameter selection and programming swift and easy. Each switch has its own 3-row RGB activity LED : With functions like “Click” screened in the top row, transport icons in the center and an activity LED at the bottom. LED setting and color are part of a preset and customizable. POWER PACER is powered via USB or a 9v 600mA center negative power supply (optional). A cable tie keeps everything in place. PACER is USB Class Compliant , so simply connect to your Mac, Windows or iOS device and the operating system takes care of the rest. A Kensington lock connector next to the logo allows you to secure your controller. MIDI OUT The MIDI Out jack can be used to connect to external MIDI equipment such as a Kemper Amp or as a USB MIDI interface. EXPRESSION + RELAYS The EXP 1&2 1/4″ TRS jack sockets allow connection of two standard expression pedals , such as our Nektar NX-P for real-time control. Relays: 4 relays on two 1/4″ TRS sockets for momentary or latching operation. Use for channel or FX switching on a non-MIDI amp. EXT. FOOTSWITCHES 1 - 4 Connect two footswitch pedals to the 1/4″ TRS jack sockets or four footswitches using y-splitter cables. You can set PACER to accept momentary, open / closed and latching footswitches. CONTROL AMPS, SOFTWARE & MORE PACER does it all: You can use it as a simple pre-configured solution to control devices such as Helix, Profiler, AxeFX or Avid Eleven, control your DAW without letting go of your instrument and create advanced presets for switching a whole live show. Your programming options are extensive: In the most basic state, a switch can send one MIDI message or change a relay state. But you can also send up to 6 MIDI messages in a sequence of steps from one switch. Use one switch to step through program change messages during your song and the other switches are free for FX on/off control. Or switch your amp channel, start playback in your DAW and change a program on your effects rack, all by just pressing ONE button within the same preset. CONTROL ALMOST ANY DAW! PACER is the only true hands-free solution for controlling a DAW and features a complete set of dedicated track and transport controls. For MCU (Mackie Control Universal) compatible DAWs, a Transport preset provides control over Cycle/Loop, Rewind, Forward, Stop, Play and Record. Each switch has its own large icon illuminated by an RGB LED to show the current status. The Track preset controls Solo, Mute, Record Arm and Click. MCU mode supports: Any DAW that is compatible with MCU including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools or Sonar. With Nektar DAW Integration installed, PACER hooks up automatically to your DAW and gives you extended control features with customized RGB LED color feedback and additional options for track and patch selection. With some DAWs, PACER offers a second set long-press functions. This includes eg. controlling plugin parameters in Studio One or moving loops in Reason and Bitwig - as well as Undo, Count-In and Overdub on/off. The details for your DAW can be found in the documentation included with your software download. PACER can also be used at the same time with other Nektar controller products. Nektar DAW integration supports: Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Reaper and Studio One.

Review: Great quality and powerful. - I was hesitant to buy this because of reviews saying that it was difficult to set up. It isn't totally intuitive but it is a powerful bit of kit with a lot of features and it comes with a manual which I found straightforward to follow and managed to get it to do everything I need within a few hours. I'm mainly using it to control a Korg Wavestate, playing chords and triggering loops, etc.. I've also tried it with Logic Pro and that was really easy to set up and looks like it will be useful even though that's not what I bought it for. It is very solidly built and has a quality feel about it.
Review: it is really good - I don't normally comment, but this thing is really good. it is super well made, very program-able, adaptable and reliable. I really like it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can anybody direct me to documentation of the Mackie Control for using this with Abelton?**
A: Hello and thank you for your interest in the Nektar Pacer.  Once you register the unit you will see a zip file for using PACER with Ableton Live

**Q: Can you program the buttons to send sysex commands? Like the CC toggle function but a sysex command for on and a different sysex command for off.**
A: I don't believe so. Skimming thru the manual I only see sysex mentioned while addressing backup. The editing section makes no mention of sysex commands, so I don't believe it's available. The manual is available on the nektartech site if you want to look at the details.

**Q: Can you program chords ?**
A: The Pacer can send multiple messages, but it would be FAR easier to program chords at the other end, in a VST that produces chords from a single key, such as Scaler or Chordjam. Far, far, far easier.

**Q: Does this pedal works with ableton live?**
A: It works very well with Ableton Live. You can change from transport controls to standard CC or Note messages. Each foot switch feels great

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.
