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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and powerful. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 January 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it is really good *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 24 September 2025* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent unit. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 March 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nektar Pacer - USB MIDI Footswitch Controller with Nektar DAW Integration Dark Grey - Roland 10ft MIDI Cable-Black Series, DIN connectors, 10 feet (RMIDI-B10), Modem --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/88550711-nektar-pacer-usb-midi-footswitch-controller-with-nektar-daw-integration](https://www.desertcart.es/products/88550711-nektar-pacer-usb-midi-footswitch-controller-with-nektar-daw-integration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
