- Icon QCon Pro XS Fader Expander
Get out of the box and into your mix
Expand and command your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) by adding true tactile control via USB 2.0. The all new Icon QCon Pro X is a control surface designed to get you out of “the box" of your computer and into your music. Record and mix without always having to point and click.
The Icon QCon Pro X puts the functions of your DAW at your fingertips by providing you with nine (9) full sized motorized faders, eight (8) rotary dual-function encoders, two (2) large backlit LCD screens, LED volume metering, a jog wheel and plenty of buttons to press. Adjust multiple volume or pan levels simultaneously. Mute or solo numerous tracks on the fly.
Use the transport section to conveniently play, stop, fast forward, rewind, record, loop, zoom, punch in and punch out of your compositions. Spin the nicely sized jog wheel to scrub through tracks and address areas of special interest. Dedicated buttons also allow you to access your entire mix by banking across tracks in groups of 8 or 1 track at a time.
Control any DAW
The Icon QCon Pro X is a powerful control surface for any DAW. Integration is most easily facilitated using any one of our DAW specific custom modules. Simply select the module for your DAW, follow the easy install procedure, and the QCon Pro X will use Mackie Control or HUI protocol to provide seamless interfacing with your DAW's functions. Support is included as standard for the most popular DAWs including Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, ProTools, Logic, Reason, Studio One, Bitwig, Samplitude and Reaper.
Once the Icon QCon Pro X is linked to your DAW it will always boot up in the proper configuration, even after being powered off. If you have a module installed for one DAW, and want to use a different DAW, then no worries. You can still go into manual mode and select any of the other supported DAWs from a list displayed on the QCon Pro X LCD upon boot-up. Even if your DAW is not supported by a custom module, you can still map its functions to the Icon QCon Pro X using the intuitive MIDI learn mode.
Control your plugins and automation too
The QCon Pro X also gives you tactile control of your VST, RTAS, Direct X and AU Plugins. Dial in EQ frequencies, Q or gain with the rotary encoders. The values of different parameters are shown on the upper LCD screen. Control Virtual Instruments as well. There's also a “FLIP" button for fader control of plug-in parameters.
Automation of track and plugin parameters is also made easy with the Icon QCon Pro X. Write fader rides just like you would on any large format analogue console using buttons for familiar functions like GROUP, WRITE, TOUCH, LATCH and TRIM.
The Icon QCon Pro X is also scalable. Expand in groups of 8 up to 32 channels and create a custom surface to fit your needs. With the Icon QCon Pro X you get the best of both worlds; the total recall, power and flexibility of your DAW with the look, feel and functionality of a sturdy piece of hardware.
