Nektar Pacer DAW & MIDI Foot Controller

The Nektar Pacer is a professional-grade DAW and MIDI foot controller designed to provide comprehensive hands-free control for musicians, producers and live performers. It allows you to manage your digital audio workstation, MIDI-compatible hardware and analogue amplifier switching without needing to touch your computer or other equipment during performances. This integration of multiple control functions into a single rugged unit makes it particularly valuable for guitarists, keyboard players and electronic musicians who need to maintain focus on their instrument while executing complex changes to their sound and recording setup. The controller features ten programmable foot switches, each equipped with customisable RGB LEDs for clear visual feedback in various lighting conditions. It includes four switching relays for controlling external gear like guitar amp channels, along with connections for up to four additional external foot switches and two expression pedals. The unit offers 24 user-configurable presets, each capable of sending up to 16 simultaneous MIDI messages or relay state changes with a single button press. A crisp two-row LED display shows preset information and parameters, while a data encoder with push-switch functionality enables straightforward programming and navigation without requiring computer access. This foot controller is particularly well-suited for live performers, studio musicians and home recording enthusiasts who work with DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase or Reaper. Its compatibility extends to popular hardware units including Line 6 processors, Kemper Profilers, Fractal Audio systems and Avid Eleven Racks. The Pacer's rugged metal construction ensures durability for stage use, while its comprehensive connectivity options make it a central hub for complex setups involving both digital and analogue equipment.
