Panel Layout

Note: Function operates slightly difference between DAWs. Please refer to your DAW manual for each function and overlap the provided labeling template according to your current using DAW. The following description is based on the functions that operate in Apple Logic Pro.

  1. Upper LCD Display
    The two-line backlit LCD display shows the parameter values as you adjust them and also provides feedback about channel selections, operating modes, and more.

  2. Lower LCD Display
    The two-line backlit LCD display shows the channel name.

  3. 3a. Channel faders
    The eight 100mm motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track volume of your DAW. Depending on your DAW, you may use the “Flip” button to switch the function of these faders to change other settings. They are all touch sensitive to allow override automation the moment you touch a fader. Also, they are motorized; they will automatically move to reflect the current level of the selected channels in your DAW application. Any automation recorded in a project will be reflected by the fader positions. Any parameter adjustments made with these faders will be displayed directly above on the LCD display (upper LCD).
    Master fader
    This 100mm motorized fader operates the same as the other 8 faders. It controls your DAW software’s master channel fader. Any parameter adjustments made with this fader will be displayed directly above on the LCD display (upper LCD). Note: Except Pro Tools – Pro Tools software is designed in such a way that the fader next to your last channel fader always acts as the master channel fader.

  4. Channel level metering (mono)
    The 12-led showing the associated channel level.

  5. Master channel metering (stereo)
    The 12 x 2-LCD showing the master channel level.

  6. Dual Function Encoders with Multi-Colour Surround LED The dual functioned encoder acting as a push-button and a rotary control. When an encoder is pressed, it may be used to change modes of operation or to change what appears in the display above the channel strips. When an encoder is rotated, depending on its assigned function, it can be used to adjust a channel’s pan, send level, or plug-in parameters.
    6a. Encoder LED
    The 11-LED surrounding the encoder lights up to indicate the relative position of the rotation without having to look at your computer. On Cubase, the colour of the surround LED will change according to the controlling parameter.

  7. Time display
    This display shows the time location of your project in either SMPTE or BBT format.

  8. Control buttons
    8a) Recording channel control buttons section
    REC buttons – Activate and deactivate the recording state of the associated channel. The switch will light red when the channel is armed.

    MUTE buttons – Activate and deactivate the mute state of the associated channel. The switch will light blue when the channel is muted.
    SEL buttons – The SEL buttons activate the associated channels in the DAW software in order to perform a specific operation (for example, when adjusting EQ with the ASSIGNABLE ENCODERS, the SEL switch will be used to choose the channel you want to adjust). When a channel is selected, the associated SEL switch’s red LED will light up.
    8b) Motorized fader control buttons section

8c) Zoom control buttons section
ZOOM button – The ZOOM button is typically used in conjunction with the ARROW buttons described below to zoom in and out within windows in the DAW application.

Getting Started

Connecting Your QconPro X Controller

  1. Connect the QconPro X to your Mac/PC via the USB port
    Choose a USB port on your Mac/PC and insert the wide (flat) end of the USB cable. Connect the cable’s other end to the QconPro X. Your Mac/PC should automatically “detect” the new hardware and notify you that it is ready to use.

  2. Select the DAW at QconPro X.
    To select DAW mode, you may use automatic or manual select mode. There is an “Auto/Manual” switch located on the back of the QconPro X. Switch to “Auto” for automatic mode and “Manual” if you want to select DAW manually according to the following steps:
    For Auto mode
    If you have switched QconPro X to “Auto” mode. Once you turn on the power switch, QconPro X will trigger the DAW setting according to your installed DAW aluminium panel. You do not need to select anything.

For Manual mode
If you have switched QconPro X to “Manual” mode. Once you turn on the power switch, the LCD will display a message asking you to select DAW mode. Press <</>> to scroll through the DAW list and press “DAW” to confirm the selection.
Tip: QconPro X will memorise your last selected DAW mode and re-enter the same mode a few seconds after it has been switched on. (i.e. DAW mode selection is not needed if the last mode is being used.)

  1. Setup your DAW
    The QconPro X has built-in Mackie Control and HUI protocol, which will save you considerable trouble in setting up the device at your DAW. Simply add the “Mackie Control” or “HUI” device under the “MIDI Controller” on your software. After the Mackie Control or HUI device has been added, select QconPro X controller as your MIDI input and output device in your DAW.
    For the software below, please use Mackie Control
    Nuendo/CubaseTM, Logic ProTM, Samplitude, BitwigTM, ReasonTM, ReaperTM, Studio OneTM and Abelton LiveTM. or the software below, please use HUI Pro ToolsTM.
    (Tip: You may also refer to our website at www.iconproaudio.com, where you’ll find set up illustrations for different DAW’s in each controller (QconPro X) product page’s “Setup demo” section.
    For DAW’s not on our setup demo list, please refer to your software user manual for hardware setup.)

Assigning DAW Mode (Mackie Control/HUI) or Defining MIDI Functions with

iMapTM

There are two different methods for setting up your QconPro X. In general, it is simpler and faster to set the device to pre-mapped DAW modes with Mackie Control/HUI protocol, depended on which DAW you use. The device has built-in DAW Mackie/HUI protocols as follows:

  1. Nuendo (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Nuendo
  2. Cubse (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Cubase
  3. Logic (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Logic Pro X
  4. Samplitude (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Samplitude Pro
  5. Ableton Live (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Ableton Live
  6. ProTools (HUI Control Protocol) – For Pro Tools
  7. Reaper (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Reaper
  8. Studio One (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Studio One
  9. Reason (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Reason
  10. Bitwig (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Bitwig

Or you can define each control element on your QconPro X with your own MIDI messages provided in iMap’s function pull-down menu. However, unless you fully understand the MIDI structure of your DAW, this can be very troubling to set up. We strongly recommend that you use the pre-mapped DAW modes, as they are programmed according to the most popular user preferences, and are most likely to suit your needs.

Assigning DAW Mode (Mackie control/HUI) Using iMapTM

Tip: You may also use the hardware to select DAW instead of through iMap. Please refer to P.13-14 for instructions.

  3. Select “QconPro X” from the pop-up menu as your MIDI out device.

  4. According to your DAW, select the DAW Mackie/HUI protocol mode from the “Mode” pull-down menu. Different DAW modes are listed below:

  5. Nuendo (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Nuendo

  6. Cubse (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Cubase

  7. Logic (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Logic Pro X

  8. Samplitude (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Samplitude Pro

  9. Ableton Live (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Ableton Live
