M+ (8 Channel DAW controller) €291
X+ (8 Channel expander for M+) €272
D2 (Scribble strip for the above) €145
I have been checking my options for quite some time now for a nice DAW controller. Checked Xtouch, Faderport and so on. Which are nice, but I dont need many of their functions. I want to mainly balance channels, maybe pan.
I also checked things like the Behringer X32 as a hybrid option as it can also work in Mackie control mode.
Today I stumbled across the ICON series, which seem a bit more fitting to my needs. I could start with a M+ and expand if needed. The scribble I would also purchase later on (unless I feel it works good without).
What I like about them is that they are rather small, have motorized faders (total recal is a must for me) and just the fuctions I need.
Does anybody have any experiance with these? They can be had rather cheap, so I am really thinking of going this route.
