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 iMAPTM 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.

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!

Top Panel Layout (cont.)
1. Upper on-board Display
1a) TFT Display
The generously proportioned 2 inch TFT on-board display shows the parameter
values as you adjust them and also provides feedback about channel selections,
operating modes, PAN values and more. The display is also capable of reecting
the color modes of the DAW channels. The information displayed is dependent
on the DAW.
1b) Time display
An LED display shows the timecode or location of your project in either SMPTE
or beat clock (bars:beats:ticks) formats.
1c) Channel meters (mono)
Eight 12-segment LED meters showing the associated channel level.
1d) Master channel meter (stereo)
A 12-segment LED meter showing the associated level of the stereo out
channel. Please note that some DAWs do not support this function.
2. Lower on-board Display
A second TFT 1.14 inch display of 8 windows, suitable for DAWs equipped to
communicate information via a second display.
3. Faders
3A) 8 channel faders
The eight motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track
volume of the DAW. Depending on your DAW, you may use the “Flip” button to
swap the rotary encoders and the fader functions. This may be useful if making
very intricate moves for PAN or plug-in parameter values commonly executed
using the rotary encoders. The 12 bit resolution faders are capable of very
detailed movement.
Any automation recorded in a project will be reected by the fader positions.
Any parameter adjustments made with the fader will be displayed directly above
on the upper TFT display. All faders are touch sensitive and allow the user to
override automation the moment a fader is touched.
3b) Master fader
This touch sensitive fader is used to adjust the Master channel. It can also be
assigned to any channel via the iMAPTM software.
Note: Except Pro Tools – Pro Tools software is designed in such a way that the
master fader is assigned by the user within the session like any other fader. Pro
Tools does not send master fader data separately from other faders through Mackie
HUI Protocol. Therefore, the Pro Tools master fader will not respond when the
master fader is in Master mode. However, with the V1-M's assignment feature, you
may assign the master fader to the V-1M's ninth fader if you wish to.
NOTE: The V1-M is a universal DAW controller (i.e. not designed for one specic DAW).
Functions will operate slightly dierently between DAWs. Please refer to your DAW manual for each function.
