The Faders on the P1-M Are 12-Bit Resolution aka, over 4,000 values, which is definitely accurate!

The computer mouse is the only controller that does what it claims to do. After investing in two controllers, I gave up back to my computer mouse works just fine minus the headache.😊

[@OmoiSenpai]

I can agree to that 100%! The mouse is o’l reliable! This device though really makes it easier on you in terms of having shortcut keys or functions right there in your view, both in and out of the daw.

good to see someone stepping up. im on LPX and it took me quite a while but I ended up going with 2 Behringer xtouch extenders coupled with a midi twister for plugin knobs and a stream deck XL for function buttons. got it working flawlessly and scared to death to upgrade anything ha ha. literally took me 2 years to get this setup working. shouldnt be this hard but when you find something that works its a blessing. good luck sir and thanks for this video. this unit looks amazing

[@jonkthompson]

iCon makes some fabulous controllers, I have the iCon QCon Pro X and love it, no need to upgrade just yet.

[@JRosevelt]

Awesome video! Think I'm getting one of these! Just one question, how does it interact with the stock EQ in FL Studio? I've seen someone control the parameters of the 3 bands like gain and frequency, does it control the q-bandwidth also?

[@OmoiSenpai]

Hey! Yep it does control the EQ! I will see to go more in depth with the device, but iCon did reach out and I created a video for them that does demonstrate the EQ function! Check out this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-7mXmBhJWig80

[@dannydecanhas3743]

Got the 1 channel version of this and the softube console 1 mkIII. I use Cubase and I am loving both. Could have went with the ssl controllers but in my opinion, these two in combination is the best rout for me. Especially now that fabfilter teamed up with softube so their plug-ins can be used with console 1

[@flipnap2112]

almost went with those SSL controllers but so big and their compressor section is so dam big. desktop real estate is precious and too much wasted space on those SSLs, and only good for SSL plugs. my stream deck XL is invaluable

[@LottoHaze]

so ironic that in December 23 i came across this controller and put it on my wish list bc it seemed the best one for FL Studio that i researched so seeing this is confirmation

[@OmoiSenpai]

The Platform M+ is definitely a solid device for FL Studio, especially when those 3 buttons are switched out. I like when a controller is dedicated to just one section of a software. Similar to an actual controller that is meant to play the game, rather than to turn your house lights on or off alongside it. :3

[@peterpowell5189]

I wonder if it works with the MPC

[@jayarecordsofficial]

Its very easy to use !! Mr SenpaI !!!!!

[@OmoiSenpai]

[@sebbosebbo9794]

Icon is absolut on the right track while it goes beyond the minimal Mackie / one Cntrl DAW basic script functionality...& they added a setup software that works really well... Some more rotary encoder per channel and modes for that ,.. or a dedicated 8 Macro encoder / device section would be cool + a scroll touchstrip..

[@OmoiSenpai]

I like the idea of a horizonta touchstrip that could move through the playlist, that would be neat!

[@nicodemuspapadopoulos4708]

Thanks for the video review! One thing that you made very clear in the beginning of your video was how cost effective it is. But you never mentioned the cost! So - I looked up the price and my Mackie MCU (used in perfect condition) costs much less and I am very happy with it. Not only did Mackie invent the market, but mine destroyed your video. :)

[@OmoiSenpai]

The Mackie MCU Device is of course the OG, but it doesn't have these new functions that the P1-M has, which can be very beneficial to users, especially those who struggle with memorizing keyboard shortcuts or are not so tech-savy. I did mention the price, but in another video that I've posted alongside this video. I linked that video in the end of this one.

[@nicodemuspapadopoulos4708]

@@OmoiSenpai You are right. I could have paid a couple of extra hundred extra to be able to easily play Solitaire. :) All seriousness aside, I cannot fathom anyone being able to understand today's DAWs deep functions and not know how to use basic keyboard functions that have been around for decades. Maybe a future video can focus on MS-DOS macro key functions.

[@d3j4v00]

only question i have is does it work on Mac

[@mekosmowski]

Can the 80 buttons be assigned to recall MIDI-learn assignments for the faders / encoders for different synths? Or different automation lanes for faders?

[@OmoiSenpai]

I do know that there there is a function on there for like 64 Free Knobs to be able to link to the controller (or override the Generic Link) and adjust parameters like that. Perhaps this is something along those lines that you have in mind?

[@mekosmowski]

@@OmoiSenpai yeah, I might just need to research DAW controllers more in general. I don't really know all the fancy words yet. And prioritize the GAS desires / budget.

[@RedOneAtmosStudio]

Nice Info :) never new you could use it to work a video editor

[@OmoiSenpai]

Oh yes! :D Although, with Davinci Studio, their software only lets me use the faders along with the mute solo record buttons. I guess their software doesn't allow the transport controls as far as I know of.

[@RedOneAtmosStudio]

@@OmoiSenpai Thanks for the Info :) How do you get to set it as a device if its not in the list on Imap software ?

[@OmoiSenpai]

No Problem! FL Studio has a Forum Board on their website that has a community that speaks about Midi Scripting. That is, to be able to upload their own scripts into FL Studio to have their devices work as best as possible. Say, for example, with this P1-M, the additional display unit does not currently show their colored scribble strips in FL Studio, BUT a developer sent me an unfinished script that does show the scribble strip colors. I'll be posting that on iCon's KZbin Channel. I'll have to work on recording that video right now!

[@RedOneAtmosStudio]

@@OmoiSenpai Hay thanks for the info :) I can't understand Icon these products could be so much better and intagrate so much better with just a little bit more effort.. The V1m is my second controler i have from them also have a G series in my kids studio but again I just feel a little disappointed that they did not try harder :( Hopefully someone figures out how to do this for Cubase Nuendo as colour is a big part of my workflow :)

Apparently this is the best DAW for FL. Did you have to do the mapping yourself?

Nope! The Mapping is Mackie Control Universal. It's already a Controller script in FL Studio! ^_^

This is nice…and I’m leaning towards this model over the V1M cause you can move and bend the screen in the back. But what sucks about all these, is they wanna charge like 80% of the price of the main unit for the extenders. This is ridiculous and greedy. Why can’t this unit be the main brain and the extenders be 1/3 of the price. Shit is Ridiculous… I don’t know how these companies think. I mean wouldn’t you rather sell like 2 million extenders at a 1/3 of the price ,because people would be maxing out with them , then like 200,000 at full price. Idk just an opinion. Shit ….or even 1/2!!! And they jerk you off by leaving out the main volume slider, the 9th slider to keep that on the flagship model V1M…and also put the most used buttons between the sliders…V1M is much cleaner looking in that sense. They do this shit on purpose! I hate greedy companies Man! They may as well be the (Apple)of the DAW controller world!

Nah that part is separate!

[@mrbugjonz1]

Does it work with MPC software?

[@OmoiSenpai]

So, I just tried it on MPC Beats ( I don't use it but I have it) It apparently reads the Midi Inputs, but does not seem to do what it's told. If I knew how to set the controller's type as a Mackie Control type, then maybe something would happen. Unfortunately, I don't believe that it would be possible. :( In fact, this is my guess, but I believe only MPC's Midi devices would work in that software (and the audio interfaces of course)

[@eastsidey.o.p435]

If it's compatible with protools I buy it I do need daw controller

Yep! The P1-M is indeed compatible with ProTools! I am almost certain that any device created in the future will include ProTools since it's the staple of DAW's

[@ChrisClaimer]

Not even close to being the best DAW controller out there, but a decent bit of kit for hotel room sessions and similar. 😉🎧 Or to be more specific: It's a cheap little toy - but a fun gadget, that can be inspiring to work with out of the studio.

What?! Tell me of a DAW Controller that has 80 customizable touchpad functions, and 3 Midi Devices in itself. Then we'll talk lol. :P

[@leftofcenter4]

Seems very basic.. I already have the dock and S3 but the avid Eucon system is a bit buggy, crashes freezes at times, but it’s the best controller for PT people who can’t afford an S4 or S6. And are willing to put up with the occasional freeze ups. The I pad connection is great but technically unstable unlike the dedicated screens hard wired into the base controller units.

[@JohnSk82]

Look I love Icon devices and worked with them countless times.I still use this shitty but lovely I-keyboard X .But this item is still 599 and 499 for the extension. With 200 extra you get the SSL one and adding on your ecosystem.If it was priced 399 + 299 the extension it would be the ''best daw '' controller 🤣.Great video overall

[@OmoiSenpai]

Thanks! I am assuming that you're speaking about the SSL UF1 right? I am not a fan of Only 1 fader devices, mainly because I can use my mouse at that point. But it does have a cool display for the visuals, which does help when you want to save space on the screen.. To me, it doesn't seem like it offers much other than that compared to this P1-M device in terms of the opportunities available for customization. But yeah the prices for these DAW Controllers overall are no joke, but it's an investment nonetheless!

PT was the "Industry Standard" because it was the main DAW back in the days that everybody used compared to it's competitors. It's the default in the USA because of tradition and education.
