MIDI/Audio control surface with motorized faders for production
Designed for mix engineers and producers looking to take tactile control over their DAWs, the Icon Pro Audio Platform M+ is a modular control system with eight faders, one master fader, eight rotary knobs, transport controls, and more. It connects to your computer via USB, using MIDI protocol to control channel levels, panning positions, and other mixing decisions. On each channel you’ll not only find a 100mm motorized fader with 10-bit resolution, but also backlit buttons to quickly mute, solo, and record-enable your tracks.
The Platform M+ features software and drivers that allow it to interface with most major DAWs including Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Reason, Bitwig, and of course, Pro Tools. If you’re a Mac user, you might get use of out the included iMap software, which facilitates simple mapping of MIDI functions. Bank-shift and channel-shifting buttons are provided, but if you ever find yourself in need of more Platform-series gear, you can loop it in via multiple ports in the rear of the unit. A power adapter is included.
