EQ Button
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, a Channel
EQ is inserted automatically. The Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons switch to the next
or previous parameter page.
Each Assignment button has two modes—Mixer view and Channel view—that determine
whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit separate channels
or the same channel. For more information, see M-Audio iControl: Mixer View and Channel
View.
M-Audio iControl: Arrow Up and Arrow Down Buttons
The iControl has channel strip controls for eight channel strips, which default to channel
strips 1 to 8. To access further channel strips, press the Arrow Up button. This allows you
to control channel strips 9 through 16. Press the Arrow Up button again to control channel
strips 17 to 24, or press the Arrow Down button to control channel strips 1 to 8.
When using the Arrow buttons to switch between groups of channel strips, the channel
strips follow groupings of eight (starting from channel strip 1) unless the last group of
channel strips do not make a complete group of eight. For example, if a project has 19
channel strips, and the iControl is controlling channel strips 1 to 8:
• Pressing the Arrow Up button shifts to channel strips 9 to 16.
• Pressing the Arrow Up button again shifts to channel strips 12 to 19.
• Pressing the Arrow Down button shifts back to channel strips 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
Pressing the Arrow Up button while holding down the Option button jumps to the first
eight channel strips in the project. Similarly, pressing the Option and Arrow Down buttons
jumps to the last eight channel strips in the project. For example, if a project has 64
channel strips, pressing Option–Arrow Up jumps to channel strips 57 to 64, and pressing
Option–Arrow Down jumps to channel strips 1 to 8.
Note: If the Generator, EQ, Effect 1, or Effect 2 button is lit, the functionality of the Arrow
Up and Arrow Down buttons are as described in the Generator, Effect 1, and Effect 2
sections. See M-Audio iControl: Assignment Buttons for details.
M-Audio iControl: Channel Strip Controls
The right side of the iControl features eight rows of controls that you can use to edit
channel strips. Each row includes Select, Record Enable, Mute, and Solo buttons plus a
rotary encoder.
