Chapter 4 M-Audio iControl 113
Generator
If the selected channel strip is an instrument channel strip, pressing the Generator
button assigns the rotary encoders to edit the sound generation parameters of the
instrument. These assignments are in groups of eight parameters. The Arrow Up and
Arrow Down buttons switch to the previous or next page of eight parameters.
Note: Activation of the Generator button has no effect if the selected channel strip is
not a software instrument channel strip.
Effect 1 and Effect 2
Pressing Effect 1 assigns the rotary encoders to edit the parameters of the third Insert
slot (of the selected channel strip). Pressing Effect 2 assigns the rotary encoders to edit
the parameters of the fourth Insert slot (if a fourth Insert slot is used). The Arrow Up
and Arrow Down buttons switch to the previous or next page of parameters.
Pressing the Effect 1 or Effect 2 button, while holding down the Option button,
switches the bypass status of Insert slots 3 and 4, respectively.
When using the Arrow buttons to switch between parameter pages—accessed
through use of the Generator, Effect 1, or Effect 2 buttons—the parameters change in
groups of eight (unless the parameters on the last page do not make a complete group
of eight). As an example, if a plug-in has 19 parameters and the iControl is controlling
parameters 1 to 8:
 Pressing the Arrow Up button shifts to parameters 9 to 16.
 Pressing the Arrow Up button a second time shifts to parameters 12 to 19
 Pressing the Arrow Down button shifts back to parameters 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
This way, you always revert to the page positions you expect to find, and are
comfortable with.
EQ
Pressing the EQ button allows you to edit the EQ parameters of the selected channel
strip. If a Channel EQ exists on the selected channel strip, pressing the EQ button
opens the EQ plug-in window. If no Channel EQ exists on the selected channel strip, it
is inserted automatically. The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons switch to the next or
previous EQ parameter page.
Each Assignment button has two modes: Mixer view and Channel view, which
determine whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit
separate channels or the same channel. For more information, see “Mixer View and
Channel View” on page 116.
