Ableton and Icon Platform M+ - Controlling effects marcos dynamically?

Post by lah_ » Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:57 am

Hey all - just got an Icon Platform M+ controller. The faders work for fading, the knobs work for pan, but I really want to control effects macros the same way I do with my Launchkey mini. It dynamically maps the knobs to the 8 macros/parameters for any effect/rack.
Has anyone got this to work? I see there's a user defined mode but:
A) All sources say you have to reboot the controller to use it each time (complete non-starter)
B) Even if I was willing to do that, I'm not even sure how to assign the knobs to MIDI messages that would behave in the dynamic way my launchkey supports?

I'm a bit skeptical this isn't going to work and I'll be returning this and replacing it for an Akai MPC40, but wanted to check here first.
So far it seems really limited basic track selection play/record/etc. and a basic transport control.

Thanks in advance.
