<<<<<<<<< Troubleshooting >>>>>>>>>
Strange behavior in the DAW, unexpected functions, device not recognized, orfreezes:
Disconnect all MIDI-USB devices. In Logic, delete all control surface congurations andzones
(including other MIDI devices) in Controller Assignments and Control Surface Setupand then close
Logic. For testing, connect directly to the computer without a USB hub or USB extension cable.
Turn on the Icon control surface and select the MCP Logic Pro X mode.
OSX – Go to Audio-MIDI-Setup, open MIDI Studio, and delete unused congurations and all Icon
devices. Restart the Icon control surface to automatically recongure.
Finally, start Logic Pro X and congure the control surface in Control Surfaces -> Setup.
Go to New -> Install – select Mackie Control – click Add
Select your device for both Output and Input Port, displayed under “Device: Mackie Control”
Faders are not motorized:
The power source is not connected. Verify the power source by disconnecting USB and turning
the control surface on. If power is well connected, it will start up normally.
Faders makenoise or move improperly:
A fader calibration is needed. Please read the section on Fader Calibration below for details.
I want to control and automate certain parameters:
Use the User Assignments 1-5 andMIDI Learnto assign parameters to controls. PressShift +Track
to activate User Assignment 1, and use MIDI Learnin Logic Pro X to map parameters to the
Encoder Knobs. Now, pressFlipto control these parameters with the faders.
Scrubplays no Audio:
In Logic Pro X, by default scrub does not play audio. To enable audio scrub go toPreferences ->
Audio -> Editing, and select “Scrubbing with audio…”
I want to change the behavior of a function:
Icon control surfaces with MCP offer deep and complex control options, just please remember that
the control surface only sends/receives MIDI messages. The functionality happens in your DAW.
The style and components of a function is xed based on the DAW MCP implementation, and
can’t be changed unless specically otherwise stated. The behavior is different in every DAW and
can change with DAW version updates.
I want to see customvalues on the display:
The messages and values on the display are generated from values sent by the DAW as return
MIDI. Display readouts in return MIDI are controlled by the MCP implementation in your DAW,
so they are not customizable unless specically otherwise stated. The rate at which the screen
updates certain parameters is controlled by the frequency of the corresponding MIDI messages in
the DAW. These update rates have changed with various Logic Pro X updates.
