ICON P1-M - Setting up the P1-M in DAWs; DAW Configuration for Recognition

17
Note: MIDI port 4 is used by the iCON Pro Audio software, iMAP
(TM)
, to change the
three DAWs you use, to update rmware and to program the 16 panel touchscreen
with the functions of your choice.
These four options will appear as a menu from which you can select your chosen
DAW.
So, remembering our examples of;
DAW #1 Bitwig
DAW #2 Cubase
DAW #3 Logic
We know that we need to select 'P1-M V1.02' (or whichever rmware version it is*),
in Bitwig because that is the DAW we have chosen to be DAW #1. When you press
DAW #1 on the unit, the P1-M will automatically go into Bitwig mode.
In our example, Cubase is our second DAW, so when we are conguring our DAW
to work with the P1-M, we will need to select 'MIDIIN2 (P1-M V1.02)' or whichever
rmware version it is*) in the menu. When the P1-M is set up as a Mackie control
device in Cubase, whenever we press '2' in the DAW Controller selection section,
the P1-M will automatically select Cubase.
The same applies for Logic, although this time we are going to select 'MIDIIN3 (P1-M
V1.02)' (or whichever rmware version it is*) and use button '3' in the DAW controller
selection area to automatically select this DAW.
*rmware versions are updated over time
Now we have allocated our 3 DAWs within the iMAP, we will need to congure
our DAWs so that the P1-M recognizes them and the DAW/s recognize the
P1-M.
This is how it works;
Setting up the P1-M in the DAWs

MIDIIN3(P1-M V1.02) DAW #1
