Technically I think you can make it work somehow, but that would completely defeat the purpose.But it doesnt work as generic CC Controller, right?

Question: Although I understand they're not exactly the same model, I've seen enough comments regarding the brightness of the M+ as to be curious. Do you find the lights in the x+ to be overly bright?I'm using an icon platform x+. I primarily bought it for expression control, but I've found it's pretty useful to have 3 faders farthest right for cc1, 11, 104(vibrato), and I'm now using the other 5 along with an s1 for mixing and it's working g out really quite nicely. Was a good recommendatio from the good people of VI-C
Not at all. Barely notice them to be honest.Question: Although I understand they're not exactly the same model, I've seen enough comments regarding the brightness of the M+ as to be curious. Do you find the lights in the x+ to be overly bright?
Maybe the M+ is different. The software to customise the M+ and the X+ is exactly the same and, it's true, there's no control in there over the lights specifically. I use an S1 for mixing, so even the x+ is just way more than I need as an expression controller, but I really like the long travel faders, even if it does mean "grabbing" one can be tricky distance-wise in some circumstances - but again, small gripesNice! I appreciate you taking the time to post the Pic. I had understood there was no way to deal with the light, but as you say, small gripes.
Thanks. Will the x+ actually playback CC information on the moving faders? I can never find information on this one critical aspect. I know you can ride a CC fader on it, but will it "playback" your moves after you do them, and is it touch sensitive so you can touch it for corrections like the volume faders are?I'm using an icon platform x+.

Nope - despite them being two-way motorised faders in mix mode, it's one-way traffic on cc automation front I'm afraid!Thanks. Will the x+ actually playback CC information on the moving faders?

He means what he means. If you're mixing with only one fader then you might as well just use your mouse.You raise a point which interests me. You say one fader is not really useful for mixing unless it means selecting the volume of a channel. What did you mean by mixing?
I am also considering this one, in combination with the original Console 1. But how do you get around on it without scribble strips?Softube Console 1 Fader. 10 faders, far smaller than even 8 fader units out there, brilliantly integrates with Studio One and Cubase. Was surprised how much I use it but it is so fast for balancing work.
I have console tape on it to mark numbers 1-20 (1|11, 2|12, etc). That makes it very quick to correlate the fader number to the Console 1 On Screen Display (which you want to be using). Would scribble strips be nice? Sure, but the size of the unit would be larger then. Do I miss them? Not really. Most scribble strips are too small to show the full track names anyway.I am also considering this one, in combination with the original Console 1.
