Features Pt. 1
The world of MIDI DAW controllers has just changed.
This outstanding and let's be frank, beautiful machine will nd its way to the heart
of studio operations throughout the world, no matter the size or scope of the facility.
Equally suited to full scale, state-of-the-art professional studios as it is to the project
studio owner, never before has a DAW controller featuring this level of capability,
value for money and expandability been available. This truly is a revolution in the
world of DAW controllers.
The V1-M is the agship of a new generation of super-stable DAW controllers
from iCON Pro Audio, with ground-breaking functionality at your ngertips via a
programmable 24 panel electronic touchscreen, which features all the functions you
would ever need in a recording, mixing or mastering session.
A total of 120 DAW functions can be assigned per DAW, (an incredible 360 functions
in total!) to this attractive and color-coded touchscreen display - via 5 color modes,
(blue, green, orange, purple and red), which can in turn be adjusted (i.e. for EQ or
a plug in) with the eight noiseless, smooth and rened rotary encoders, which also
function as PAN knobs.
The stunning meter bridge oers 9 clear, bright and accurate LED meters as well as
a 2 inch TFT display showing values such as track names, channel colors etc. as
communicated by the selected DAW.
With the V1-M, you can now connect up to three DAWs at the same time! If your
main project is in, say Pro Tools, but you need to quickly shoot back to Cubase - no
problem! The V1-M will allow this to happen literally at the touch of a button without
any delay or fuss, which means no interruption to you or your workow.
By pressing 'Focus', you can now select a plug-in parameter* with the mouse and
adjust values with the smooth, gliding action of the large, high specication jog
wheel. This feature is likely to become a favorite of those who love hands-on,
interactive control of their plug-ins and EQ (and who doesn't?!).

Every parameter may not be supported by every plug in
A new and highly advanced user-friendly generation of iMAP
TM
software supports the
V1-M. This allows you to completely re-arrange how DAW functions appear (via 'drag
and drop') in the 5 color modes of the 24 panel touchscreen (a total of 120 possible
functions). Additionally, users can map MIDI functions and keyboard hotkeys within
the software. All in real time! At the time of production, no other DAW controller of
this type boasts this level of functionality.
