I want to adda custom function:
It is possible to use User Assignment Modes with MIDI Learn to freely assign parameters to the
encoder knobs, and press Flip to apply these controls to the faders. To alter and customize controls
beyond standard MCP, please review the DAW developer support on customizing controller
assignments in expert view. In many DAWs, it is possible to assign Key Commands (instead of
MCP functions) to MIDI Input generated from buttons on Icon control surfaces. In the typical style
of MCP implementation, device-specific MIDI input used by the DAW for MCP is blocked from
other uses.
I want to rescale the faders:
The fader volume curve, zero dB position and value range are preset in the DAW implementation
of MCP, and can’t be adjusted. There is variance between different DAWs.
I want to change the Jog Wheelresolution:
The behavior of the Jog Wheel is preset in the DAW implementation of MCP. In Logic Pro X,
its movement resolution is linked to the grid in the Arrange Window . There is variance between
different DAWs. There may be some adjustment for this, at least by changing grid settings .Pressing
Scrub enables fine movement with the Jog Wheel .
<<<<<<<<< Firmware Update >>>>>>>>>
To accommodate future changes to MCP implementation in new DAW versions plus expand on
operational features, Icon provides Firmware updates for current production and legacy control
surfaces.
Caution:
Please take extra care to follow the correct procedure when performing a firmware update. When
performing a firmware upgrade, always connect directly to the computer without a USB Hub or
extension, and only connect one device to the computer during update. Also quit all other software
which can access MIDI input/output such as your DAW or utility programs.
Verify the power source is well connected to the control surface. You can check by starting the
controller with no USB cable connected. If thedevice startup proceeds normally, external power
appears to be ok.
To Update:
OSX – Install and open the device-specificiMap, use “Connect” to select your device, click Update
and follow the directions on screen.(For an XS or EX unit, first switch iMap mode by clicking the
QCon icon in iMap)
Wi ndows / Legacy – Install and open the device-specific iMap, use “MIDI Devices” to select your
device, click Update. Newer iMap releases automatically download the correct firmware online.
!After Firmware Update, reinstall the device in your DAW by deleting the previous device
configuration and repeating the MCP device setup.
!Never attemp t to “downgrade” firmware of an Icon contr ol surface.
