What’s New In Generation 2?

Updated DAW Mode
Icon have simplified the DAW mode in the new generation. Now instead of scrolling through a list of DAWs, users choose 1 = Mackie Control (for most of the most popular DAWs), 2 = Logic Pro (for Apple Logic Pro), 3 = Pro Tools (HUI mode for Avid Pro Tools) and 4 = User Define mode (for other DAWs, and custom maps). This improves the mapping AND increases the number of DAWs that can be supported.

More DAWs & Updated Overlays
Now with overlays for FL Studio, Digital Performer, Adobe Audition, and Studio One, as well as Cubase, Nuendo, Reason, Ableton Live, Samplitude, Bitwig, Logic Pro, Reaper, Sonar, Pro Tools, Logic Pro and a User Defined mapping. And the overlays now have a dash of colour to make mixing that much easier.

Updated Hardware
New Faders, Encoders and Jog Wheel: The G2 version of the Pro and EX now sport the same top of the line Alps motorized faders that are in the Platform series and QCon Pro X controllers. Plus the jog wheel has been updated and recoded for better accuracy.

Back In Black
The QCon Pro and EX G2s are now even more suave and salacious in an anodized matte black finish.
