Chapter 5 M-Audio iControl 106
When using the Arrow buttons to switch between parameter pages—accessed through use of
the Generator, Eect 1, or Eect 2 button—the parameters change in groups of eight (unless
the parameters on the last page do not make a complete group of eight). For example, if a
plug-in has 19 parameters and the iControl is controlling parameters 1 to 8:
•
Press the Arrow Up button to shift to parameters 9 to 16.
•
Press the Arrow Up button again to shift to parameters 12 to 19.
•
Press the Arrow Down button to shift back to parameters 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
This way, you always revert to the page positions you expect to nd and are comfortable with.
•
EQ button: Press the EQ button to edit the EQ parameters of the selected channel strip. If a
Channel or Linear Phase EQ is inserted in the selected channel strip, pressing the EQ button
opens the EQ plug-in window. If no Channel or Linear Phase 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 iControl Mixer and Channel view on page 107.
iControl Arrow 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
does 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:
•
Press the Arrow Up button to shift to channel strips 9 to 16.
•
Press the Arrow Up button again to shift to channel strips 12 to 19.
•
Press the Arrow Down button to shift back to channel strips 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
Hold down the Option button while pressing the Arrow Up button to jump to the rst eight
channel strips in the project. Press the Option and Arrow Down buttons to jump 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, Eect 1, or Eect 2 button is lit, the functions of the Arrow Up and
Arrow Down buttons are as described in iControl Assignment buttons on page 105.
