M-Audio
iControl
Compatibility
The
iControl
can
edit
all
plug-ins
that
offer
parameters
which
can
be
automated.
Many
Logic
plug-ins—effects
and
Audio
Instruments—plus
those
of
third-party
manufacturers,
feature
dozens
of
parameters.
Every
one
of
these
parameters
can
be
accessed
by
the
iControl.
To
give
you
an
example
of
how
this
works,
imagine
a
plug-in
that
contains,
say,
16
parameters.
Once
you’ve
switched
to
the
appropriate
Channel
Strip
View
of
the
plug-in
you
wish
to
adjust,
you
can
directly
affect
parameters
1
to
8
with
encoders
1
to
8.
You
can
then
switch
by
a
“page”
to
access
parameters
9
to
16.
Simply
press
the
Arrow
Up
or
Arrow
Down
button
to
step
up/down
to
the
next
“page”
of
parameters.
Should
you
find
that
your
third-party
plug-in
does
not
support
remote
editing
or
other
features
mentioned
in
this
document,
please
contact
the
plug-in
manufacturer
to
obtain
an
updated
version
that
supports
these
facilities.
Channel
Views
The
channels
section
(the
eight
channel
strips
on
the
right
side
of
your
iControl;
each
channel
strip
comprises
of
a
Select,
Record
Enable,
Mute,
and
Solo
button
plus
a
rotary
encoder)
operates
in
two
view
“modes”—Multi
Channel
and
Channel
Strip
View.
Switching
between
these
modes
only
affects
the
rotary
encoders,
with
the
other
channel
controls
always
remaining
in
Multi
Channel
View.
Â
Multi
Channel
View—accesses
one
parameter
for
eight
tracks,
such
as
pan
or
volume
(normally
a
section
of
the
Track
Mixer
window).
 Channel
Strip
View—accesses
eight
parameters
of
the
selected
track.
Switching
to
a
Multi
Channel
or
Channel
Strip
view
is
achieved
by
pressing
one
of
the
Assignment
buttons
(see
the
following
section).
The
Assignment
Buttons
The
two
button
areas
labelled
“All
Tracks”
and
“Selected
Track”
are
used
to
define
the
behavior
of
the
channel
strip
buttons.
Volume
Pressing
the
Volume
button
enters
Volume
Multi
Channel
View;
you
can
use
the
rotary
encoders
to
control
the
Volume
fader
of
the
eight
active
tracks
in
this
mode.
