hi there, thanks for your reply
you can find the manual here, under download:
http://iconproaudio.com/product/qcon-pro-x/

however the manual is not of great help, as it describes only how to set up different daws for the use with the qcon pro x controller.

i'am using Samplitude as my main DAW, there i can switch the pages of plugin parameters, inside plugin mode, by using the bank up and down buttons. not so in abelton live, as there the Bank up/down buttons, even inside plugin mode, are still switching up and down the track faders.

i didn't find any hint on what button it could be or if i have to assign that function manualy.

any help is appreciated
thanks

It's not something that can be MIDI Mapped, however there is a whole section in the manual dedicated to changing the Mackie Control Mode to do different things within the software, it's admittedly very complex and you may be better off finding the manufacturers forum for further advice as it's relatively new to the market and doubtful there are hundreds of users on this forum...

my hope was to find someone here with some sort of mackie controller, whom has it working.
i know i can change the mackie control mapping within the icons imap app, but i need to know what the right command for the plugin page parameter switch would be in live to do that.

here are all the MIDI assignments:

in Live, the EQ and Dyn buttons from the "Blue Area - General Controls" are used for page left and right (G#2 and A2, which correspond with MIDI notes 44 and 45). a momentary note on/off is sent when you press a button (i.e. value 127 when you press the button, and 0 when you release).

this page also has a version of the Live overlay for the MCU Pro:
