  • Page 7: Features Pt.2

    Features Pt.2 ● Functions as an extender for the iCON Pro Audio P1-M MIDI DAW controller ● 8x touch-sensitive motorized faders with 12-bit resolution ● Extremely hardwearing, durable and versatile ● On-board 2 inch TFT display showing channel name, control values, channel colors etc.

  • Page 8: Top Panel Layout

    Top Panel Layout NOTE: The P1-M is a universal DAW controller (i.e. not designed for one specific DAW). Functions will operate slightly differently between DAWs. Please refer to your DAW manual for each function. 1. Faders The eight ergonomically designed, motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track volume of the DAW.
  • Page 9 3. Knobs The eight smooth, noiseless, endless rotary encoder knobs are generally used for controlling the track pan position, aux send levels and EQ of your DAW. You may also use them to adjust specific parameters within plug-ins and virtual instruments, (as your DAW software allows). The push-button action of the knob can be used to change modes of operation within the DAW (this is DAW dependent) and the rotating action of the knob can be used to change parameters of PAN, EQ, plug-in values etc.

  • Page 11: Getting Started With The P1-X

    Firstly, let's get one thing very clear; You do NOT need to allocate DAWs to the P1-X so that it recognizes which is DAW#1 is, DAW #2 is and so on. You've already set that up on the P1-M. This will be communicated to the P1-X.
  • Page 12 DAWs so that the P1-X recognizes them and the DAW/s recognize the P1-X, along with the P1-M. This is done is the same way as the P1-M. In some DAW's you might add the P1-X as another instance of 'Mackie Control', in others you may need to add the P1-X as a 'Mackie extender'.
  • Page 13 Because we have set up Cubase to respond to DAW control button '2' on the P1-M, we are going to select 'MIDIIN2 (P1-X V1.01)' when connecting the P1-X. Please also note, (although this is specific to Cubase), that users should use Mackie Control in the usual way to set up their devices in Cubase 12 onwards and not Cubase's MIDI Remote Manager.

  • Page 14: Launching The P1-X In Every Day Use

    - this ensures that the speed of communication is fast and unhampered by secondary factors. The iMAP acts as a kind of 'bridge' between the P1-M main unit and any P1-X extenders you may be using and ensures cohesion. The 'Lock' function, when used in conjunction with a P1-X extender unit for example, will work as expected.
