Designed for mixing engineers and producers, the M+ Audio and MIDI Control Surface platform offers the optimal solution for controlling DAWs and plug-ins. Nine motorized faders including master, jog wheel, eight knobs, backlit select/solo/mute pads, transport section - everything you need for modern production is right at your fingertips and can be reached quickly without detours. The modular Platform-M+ control system is connected via USB, while the MIDI protocol is responsible for channel levels, panning positions and other mixing decisions. Whether Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Reason, Bitwig or Pro Tools - the iCon PlatformM+ Surface brings more comfort and fun into every mixing session.
Motorized fadersAll eight 100mm faders are motorized for improved workflow. They move automatically to the position in which the respective DAW mixer faders are positioned (especially with many tracks, this becomes clear when you "scroll through" the tracks with the bank shift function). Also for automations within the DAW, the faders follow the given curves. Of course, they can be overwritten at any time thanks to their touch sensitivity. Like the mixer faders, the master is motorized and controls the software master channel of the respective workstation. (Note: Pro Tools works slightly differently and uses the penultimate fader)
Eight endless controlsWith the endless controls you can create and execute various commands. For example, they can be used for panning or control the send level. It is also possible to assign to different parameters of plug-ins and VSTs, so that you can trigger the low-cut of a virtual synth, for example.
Transport section and buttonsEach channel includes buttons for Record, Mute, Solo and Select, so you can work comfortably at all times. In addition, there are Shift Bank and Shift Fader functions for scrolling/changing channels and the transport section, which offer the typical features such as Play, Stop, Record, Rewind, Fast-Forward, Loop, Zoom & more.
