Icon P1-M Controller for the 8-Series
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.
*Use Icon P1-M firmware version 1.10 and iMAP Software version 1.17*
Setup
To set up the P1-M for use with the 8-Series, it is necessary to map the iMAP “Sound Devices” profile to one of
the 3 available DAW buttons on the P1-M. To do this, use Icon’s iMAP software for PC or Mac.
1. If not already installed, navigate to the P1-M page of Icon’s website. At the bottom of the page under
Downloads, select and install the appropriate version of iMAP for your computer. Once installed, do not
launch the program.
2. Connect the P1-M to the computer using a USB-C connection from the back of the controller.
3. Power up the P1-M.
4. Launch the iMAP application on the computer. Make sure P1-M is selected as the controller for the
dropdown in the top-right of the screen.
5. Right click anywhere in the black region on the left and select ‘Reset to Factory Default’.
6. Select “Sound Devices” from the DAW dropdown box on the right of the screen then select the
BUTTON FUNCTIONS tab.
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:
1. Download the P1-M Controller Mapping File from sounddevices.com.
2. 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.
3. From the 8-Series Menu, select Controllers > Mapping and then toggle the switch for ‘Load’ at the
bottom of the screen.
4. 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.
Troubleshooting
To reset the P1-M, hold encoders 2 and 3 whilst powering up.
