Sound Devices has released the much-requested iCon P1-M mapping files for 8-Series devices.
The Icon P1-M is an 8-channel motorized fader panel with control over gain, buses, sends, coms, trim, and pan. Includes dedicated Select, Mute, Solo, and Arm buttons for each channel, plus TC display. Bank switch to access channels 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, and 25-32. A programmable touchscreen with 5 layers of 16 touch zones provides up to 80 mappable functions.
It is compatible with Sound Devices Scorpio, 888, and 833 via USB connection. To integrate the P1-M with your 8-Series, you need to download the required mapping files.
The touch display layout of the P1-M can be customized. For convenience, Sound Devices has created a custom preset iMAP configuration and an 8-Series controller mapping file that together map commonly
used functions to this touch display.
To load the matching 8-Series controller mapping file into your 8-Series:
- Download the P1-M Controller Mapping File from sounddevices.com.
- Load the file into the MIDI_MAPPING folder located on the root of your 8-Series drive.
Note: In 8-Series firmware v10.11 and earlier, the MIDI_MAPPING folder may not exist. In this case, go to 8-Series
Controllers > Mapping and select Learn to learn any P1-M button – this will automatically create the MIDI_MAPPING
folder on your 8-Series drive. You can then delete the learned button from the Mapping list. - From the 8-Series Menu, select Controllers > Mapping and then toggle the switch for ‘Load’ at the
bottom of the screen. - Select the P1-M Controller Mapping File and press the Headphone Encoder to select.
Note: The first time you use the P1-M with 8-Series, hold down the Solo button on Channel 1 while powering the controller on. You will need to repeat this process if the P1-M is reset to defaults.
