Icon Pro Audio announces the Platform B+ button expander for the Platform M+ DAW Controller
Icon has announced at NAMM 2018 that they're expanding their range of cost-effective DAW controllers with the release of the Platform B+. With the Platform M+ and X+ extenders becoming a popular choice for engineers and producers, the Platform B+ provides further options in the form of banks of shortcut keys.
50 illuminated buttons give you quick access to all of the most used functions of your DAW, including cursor keys for zooming and moving about your project. A selection of silicon overlays are also included, for using the Platform B+ with a variety of the most popular DAWs on the market – Cubase / Nuendo, LogicPro, Samplitude, Reaper, Studio One, Bitwig, Reason, ProTools, Sonar, Audition and Ableton Live. There's also a 'User define' mode for creating custom mappings, so you can customise your controller to suit your workflow .
Control surfaces are perfect for adding classic, hardware style recording to in the box mixing. Icon's range feature motorised faders for easy project recall, from the full size QCon Pro X (expandable in banks of further 8 motorised faders via the QCon Pro XS), to the Platform M+ range, designed for mobile recording and smaller setups. The Platform B+ can connect directly to the Platform M+ via the ports on the back of the unit, and can also be used standalone. So, if you just need a bank of 50 button shortcuts for your DAW at a low price, the Platform B+ may be the ideal addition to your studio.
