Launching the P1-X in Every Day Use
Please launch the controller/s rst, then the iMAP, and then the DAW. This will allow
the iMAP to communicate to the hardware directly.
The iMAP communicates directly to the hardware only and does not communicate
to other software - this ensures that the speed of communication is fast and
unhampered by secondary factors.
The iMAP acts as a kind of 'bridge' between the P1-M main unit and any P1-X
extenders you may be using and ensures cohesion. The 'Lock' function, when used
in conjunction with a P1-X extender unit for example, will work as expected. If the
iMAP is not connected, it won't.
Of course, if you are expecting to make any changes with the programming of
functions, the iMAP will need to run concurrently with the P1-M hardware.
Lastly, the reason for using the sequence of Controller, iMAP, DAW is because 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 P1-M's 16-panel touchscreen with
the functions of your choice. You cannot use this port to connect your device.
Unfortunately, some DAWs will automatically try to occupy Port 4 when launched
and this will prevent the iMAP from functioning properly. The iMAP, therefore, needs
to be turned on before the DAW/s and after the controller to make sure it occupies
that MIDI port and to ensure it is connected properly.
Remember
Every time you launch the P1-X
Step 1:Controller
Step 2:iMAP
Step 3:DAW
Remember to pause for a moment between each step to ensure each one has loaded correctly.
