\n\t\"Icon<\/a>At the Icon Pro Audio stand – Icon Platform X & Platform D2
\n<\/h3>\n

\n\tAnother first for NAMM 2017, music production manufacturer Icon Pro Audio have just announced the Icon Platform X, an 8-channel expansion unit to go with the company’s recently released Platform M mobile DAW Controller<\/a>, and the Platform D2 back-lit LCD screen.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t 
\n<\/h4>\n

\n\tGet hands-on with your music
\n<\/h4>\n

\n\tThe Platform X is an extremely compact, durable and versatile control surface. Support for all of the major DAWs is included straight out of the box, including Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Logic Pro, Studio One, Bitwig, Reason, Ableton and Pro Tools. Whether you're recording on the move or in the studio, the Platform X allows you to take control of even more channels and really get hands-on with your mix.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tUse standalone or connect to the Icon Platform M
\n<\/h4>\n

\n\tDesigned to work either alongside the Platform M<\/a> or in standalone, the Platform X allows users to expand their setup with hands-on fader control up to 32 channels, allowing for hardware-style, hands-on control when recording and mixing with software.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Platform X can also be operated as a standalone USB-MIDI controller, although it will function much more effectively when used in conjunction with the Platform M, as the Platform X lacks transport controls, or the ability to switch banks of faders from the unit itself.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tExpand your setup
\n<\/h4>\n

\n\tEach channel features a touch-sensitive, motorised fader with 10-Bit resolution; a dual function rotary encoder knob (rotate and enter\/select); plus 4 illuminated buttons for Select, Mute, Solo and Record. The encoder, fader and buttons can all also be freely assigned via Icon’s included iMap software, which allows you to customise the control surface to suit your project or workflow.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIcon Platform D2 – Display Attachment for the Icon Platform X
\n<\/h4>\n

\n\tAlso on show at the Icon stand is the new Platform D2, the second generation screen for both the Platform M and Platform X. A 2×65 backlit LCD screen, the Platform D2 provides information such as channel names and controller values for each channel. This is great if you liking mixing on the move, or just like to be able to work away from your screen. As a dedicated display unit, the Platform D2 gives you a simple way to keep track of each channel’s info whilst you’re recording or mixing.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
