The iControl has channel strip controls for eight channel strips, which default to channel strips 1 to 8. To access further channel strips, press the Arrow Up button. This allows you to control channel strips 9 through 16. Press the Arrow Up button again to control channel strips 17 to 24, or press the Arrow Down button to control channel strips 1 to 8.
When using the Arrow buttons to switch between groups of channel strips, the channel strips follow groupings of eight (starting from channel strip 1) unless the last group of channel strips do not make a complete group of eight. For example, if a project has 19 channel strips, and the iControl is controlling channel strips 1 to 8:
Pressing the Arrow Up button shifts to channel strips 9 to 16.
Pressing the Arrow Up button again shifts to channel strips 12 to 19.
Pressing the Arrow Down button shifts back to channel strips 9 to 16, not 4 to 11.
Pressing the Arrow Up button while holding down the Option button jumps to the first eight channel strips in the project. Similarly, pressing the Option and Arrow Down buttons jumps to the last eight channel strips in the project. For example, if a project has 64 channel strips, pressing Option–Arrow Up jumps to channel strips 57 to 64, and pressing Option–Arrow Down jumps to channel strips 1 to 8.
Note: If the Generator, EQ, Effect 1, or Effect 2 button is lit, the functionality of the Arrow Up and Arrow Down buttons are as described in the Generator, Effect 1, and Effect 2 sections. See M-Audio iControl: Assignment Buttons for details.
