Faders are not motorized:
The power source is not connected. Verify the power source by disconnecting USB and turning
the control surface on. If power is well connected, it will start up normally.
Faders make noise or move improperly:
A fader calibration is needed. Please read the section on Fader Calibration below for details.
I want to control and automate certain parameters:
Access parameters via the Assignment Modes and use Automation Modes to begin creating live
automation.Press Flip to control these parameters with the faders.
I want to change the behavior of a function:
Icon control surfaces with MCP offer deep and complex control options, just please remember that
the control surface only sends/receives MIDI messages. The functionality happens in your DAW.
The style and components of a function is fixed based on the DAW MCP implementation, and
can’t be changed unless specifically otherwise stated. The behavior is different in every DAW and
can change with DAW version updates.
I want to see customvalues on the display:
The messages and values on the display are generated from values sent by the DAW as return
MIDI. Display readouts in return MIDI are controlled by the MCP implementation in your DAW,
so they are not customizable unless specifically otherwise stated. The rate at which the screen
updates certain parameters is controlled by the frequency of the corresponding MIDI messages in
the DAW. These update rates have changed with various Pro Tools updates.
I want to adda custom function:
To alter and customize controls beyond standard MCP, please review the DAW developer support
on customizing controller assignments in expert view. In some 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 Wheel resolution:
The behavior of the Jog Wheel is preset in the DAW implementation of MCP. 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.
