Icon Pro Audio V1-M DAW Control Surface

The Icon V1-M is exceptionally suited for various professional and project studios, serving as a robust and feature-laden DAW controller. It boasts a substantial 7" 24-panel programmable digital touchscreen, nine motorized faders measuring 100mm, and eight dual-function encoder knobs. Additionally, it features an elegantly designed meter bridge, sophisticated software, straightforward plug-in control, and an intuitive design. Beyond offering a hands-on, console-style mixing experience, the V1-M enables simultaneous connection to three DAWs, allowing for the assignment of up to 120 functions per DAW (totaling 360) to the color-coded touchscreen. This significantly enhances workflow efficiency by providing immediate access to frequently used functions.

A Powerful DAW Controller

• The V1-M offers hands-on control through its eight motorized faders, which can be expanded to accommodate up to 64 channels, depending on the digital audio workstation (DAW) in use, by incorporating optional V1-X DAW Control Expanders. This feature provides extensive control over your mix, even in the context of intricate projects.
  
  
• The device is equipped with a sizable, customizable touchscreen display that features five color-coded layers of commands, allowing for tailored control of your DAW to suit your unique workflow. This design facilitates quick access to essential controls without diverting your attention from the mixing process.
  
  
• Additionally, the large TFT display and meter bridge provide real-time information regarding current levels, pan positions, and other critical data. This ensures that you can monitor your mix effectively, even when not directly viewing the computer screen.
  
  
• The V1-M is designed for seamless integration with a variety of widely-used DAWs, including Bitwig, Cubase/Nuendo, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. Furthermore, it supports the simultaneous operation of up to three DAWs without disrupting your workflow.
  
  

Recording and Mixing

The motorized faders and touchscreen interface of the V1-M facilitate seamless navigation through extensive sessions. Users can swiftly zoom in and out, while the large TFT screen and meter bridge provide clear visibility of track levels and pan positions. This design enables a focus on auditory elements during recording and mixing, rather than relying on mouse interactions.

Content Creation

You can use the faders, knobs, buttons, and touchscreen to adjust the levels, pan positions, and other parameters of your tracks. Customizable control means you can put your most used commands right where you want them, helping you create engaging content quickly and efficiently.

Music Production

The V1-M can help you to stay creative. The touchscreen display and motorized faders give you a tactile experience that can help you to feel more connected to your music. The V1-M's customizable controls also allow you to set up your controller the way that works best for you.

Expandable for Large Mixes, Postproduction, and Sound Design

Enhance your V1-M by expanding it to 16, 32, or even 64 channels, depending on the capabilities of your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), with the V1-X DAW Control Expander. This expansion is particularly advantageous when managing intricate projects that involve numerous dialogue tracks or Foley sounds, or when crafting rich soundscapes and immersive environments.

The V1-X features eight touch-sensitive motorized channel faders with 12-bit resolution, along with eight dual-function encoder knobs, and buttons for mute, solo, select, and record. Additionally, it is equipped with a TFT display that presents channel names and various control parameters for each channel. The unit also includes an LED level meter bridge housed in a sturdy metal casing, as well as a secondary LCD display. (The extent of expandability is contingent upon your DAW. Please refer to your DAW's manual to ascertain the number of extenders it supports.)
