Icon QCon Pro X USB Daw Controller
Expand and command your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) by adding true tactile control via USB 2.0. The Icon QCon Pro X is a control surface that will get you out of “the box” of your computer. Record and mix without always having to point and click. QCon Pro X puts the functions of your DAW at your fingertips.
Get Out Of The Box And Into Your Mix
QCon Pro X provides 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. Also, adjust multiple volume or pan levels simultaneously. Mute or solo numerous tracks on the fly.
Additionally, 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 allow you to access your entire mix by banking across tracks in groups of 8 or 1 track at a time.
Control Any Daw
QCon Pro X is a powerful control surface for any DAW. Integration happens using Mackie Control or HUI protocol to interface with your DAW’s functions. In fact, Icon offers support for the most popular DAWs. This includes Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, ProTools, Logic, Reason, Studio One, Bitwig, Samplitude, Reaper, FL Studio, Harrison Mixbus, Digital Performer and Audition.
And if you don’t already have a DAW, no worries. Bitwig Studio 8-Track comes with the QCon Pro X. Once QCon Pro X links to your DAW, it will always boot up in the proper configuration; even after you turn it off. Even if your DAW is not supported by a custom module you can still map its functions to QCon Pro X. Just use QCon’s intuitive MIDI learn mode.
Control Your Plugins And Automation Too
QCon Pro X also gives you tactile control of your VST, RTAS, Direct X and AU Plugins. Specifically, 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.
Furthermore, automation of track and plugin parameters is easy with QCon Pro X. Write fader rides just like you would on any large-format analog console. Additionally, use buttons for familiar functions like GROUP, WRITE, TOUCH, LATCH and TRIM.
