Traditionally, the features page would have ended on the last page, with a one page
limit. However, there is TOO MUCH to talk about and draw your attention to!
Let's spend a moment discussing the very impressive looking jog wheel. This is a
VERY high specication optical encoder, tted with a large metal cap for ease of
use. It is built to very exacting standards and is extremely precise and smooth which
makes accurately navigating through your project eortless. Press the jog wheel to
change the function, (usually to a 'scrub' function depending on your DAW). Press
'Shue' to VERY quickly navigate through your channels with the jog wheel, (very
useful if you have an over abundance of tracks in a project). This, coupled with the
'Focus' button functionality as already mentioned, makes this multi-functional, high
grade jog wheel extremely desirable and a main feature of the V1-M.
The ARM chip (Cortex-M7 @500 MHz), now used in all new iCON Pro Audio control
devices may not ring any particular bells - and lets face it - it's not the most exciting
thing to talk about....but it
is
signicant and worth mentioning here. Why? Because,
it is an
extremely
stable chip and will ensure the dependability of your machine for
years to come.
Another feature to be aware of is the ability of the V1-M to show track colors on the
upper TFT display. This could be extremely useful when you group tracks according
to color, (i.e. drum tracks in red, guitar tracks in yellow etc.). For those DAWs able to
communicate their color schemes via Mackie Control Protocol, such as Cubase and
Bitwig, this is a real bonus!
The newly designed fader caps are designed to ergonomically t your ngers and
provide a more comfortable mixing experience.
Whilst on the subject, take a step back and admire the design of the V1-M. It is a
thing of beauty, I'm sure you'll agree. No matter if you are running a home studio,
professional facility or you are a home studio enthusiast, having a V1-M in your set
up will denitely impress your visitors!
This intelligent, intuitive and highly attractive unit will suit anyone's aesthetic and
feature requirements. The highly professional feel, design and functionality of the
V1-M will bring you closer to your music, improve your workow and heighten your
experience; form and function working in perfect and exacting harmony.
There's still more we could talk about, (the V1-M has THAT many features!), but I
will leave you here and say to you......
....Welcome to the revolution!
