M-Audio iControl: Mixer View and Channel View
The rotary encoders operate in two views: Mixer view and Channel view. The view you’re
in determines whether the rotary encoders (and in some cases, the Select buttons) edit
multiple channels, or a single channel.
• Mixer view: Accesses the same parameter for eight channel strips, such as pan or volume
(normally a section of the Mixer window).
• Channel view: Accesses eight parameters of the selected channel strip.
To access Mixer or Channel view, press one of the Assignment buttons. For more
information about using the Assignment buttons, see M-Audio iControl: Assignment
Buttons Functions.
M-Audio iControl: Jog Wheel
You can navigate through projects with the Jog Wheel, located toward the lower-left
area of the iControl, just above the transport controls. Turning the wheel clockwise moves
the playhead forward. Turning it to the left moves the playhead backward.
M-Audio iControl: Transport Controls
The transport controls, at the bottom-left corner of the iControl, feature six large buttons:
Record, Return to Zero, Rewind, Play, Fast Forward, and Cycle. You can use these buttons
to navigate your projects, and to perform a number of recording and editing tasks.
Record Button
Press the Record button (denoted by a large white dot) to activate recording on channel
strips that are currently armed for recording. See Record Enable Button.
Return to Zero Button
Press the Return to Zero button (denoted by a vertical line and left arrow) to move the
playhead to the beginning of the project.
Rewind Button
Quickly press the Rewind button (denoted by two left arrows) to move the playhead
backward by one bar. Hold down the Rewind button to continuously move the playhead
backward in one-bar steps.
You can also press the Rewind and Cycle buttons simultaneously to activate Cycle mode,
and set the left cycle border (left locator) to the current playhead position.
Play/Stop Button
Press the Play button (denoted by a right arrow) to start playback from the current
playhead position, or to stop playback if the project is currently playing.
