Note: MIDI port 4 is used by the iCON Pro Audio software, iMAP
TM
, to change the
three DAWs you use, to update firmware and to program the 24 panel touchscreen
with the functions of your choice on the V1-M.
These four options will appear as a menu from which you can select your chosen
DAW.
So, remembering our examples from the V1-M manual;
DAW #1 Bitwig
DAW #2 Cubase
DAW #3 Logic
We know that we need to select 'V1-X V1.01' (or whichever firmware version it is*),
in Bitwig because that is the DAW we have chosen to be DAW #1 on the V1-M.
When you press DAW #1 on the V1-M unit, the VM-1
and
V1-X will automatically go
into Bitwig mode.
In our example, Cubase is our second DAW, so when we are configuring our DAW
to work with the V1-X, we will need to select ' MIDIIN2 (V1-X V1.01
)
' or whichever
firmware version it is*) in the menu. When the V1-X is set up as a Mackie control
device in Cubase, whenever we press '2' in the DAW Controller selection section on
the V1-M, the V1-M and V1-X will automatically select Cubase.
The same applies for Logic, although this time we are going to select ' MIDIIN3 (V1-X
V1.01) ' (or whichever firmware version it is*) to automatically select this DAW.
*firmware versions are updated over time
Since you will have allocated 3 DAWs within the V1-M iMAP, you will need to
configure those DAWs so that the V1-X recognizes them and the DAW/s recognize
the V1-X, along with the V1-M. This is done in the same way as the V1-M. In some
DAW's you might add the V1-X as another instance of 'Mackie Control', in others
you may need to add the V1-X as a 'Mackie extender'. Please refer to your DAW
manufacturer's manual if in doubt.
This is the basic principle of how to add the V1-X extender;
