Icon Pro Audio Releases Awaited Platform Nano

iCon Pro Audio has announced the availability of Platform Nano, an addition to its acclaimed modular Platform series of MIDI/audio control surfaces.

At a transportable weight of 1.3kg/2.8lb, the compact — 19.5 cm/7.8” (W) x 21.5 cm/8.5” (D) x 5.5 cm/2.1” (H) — Platform Nano brings control to popular DAWs with a single motorised fader alongside a selection of hands-on controls laid out across a top panel, including four rotary dual-function encoder knobs, while an 11-segment LED (Light Emitting Diode) surrounds the main knob control to indicate its rotating position; a Jog shuttle wheel, for fast search, scrub, and control; eight colour-coded function buttons coordinating with five different colour layers, for switching a variety of function controls; illuminated buttons for channel control, including Mute, Solo, and record; six illuminated transport buttons, including play, stop, record, rewind, fast-forward, and loop; illuminated Zoom buttons with two directional (left/right and up/down) keys, for use in combination with the Jog wheel; two illuminated track buttons, for easy selection of individual channels; and two illuminated bank buttons, for shifting groups of eight channels at a time.

Platform Nano sports a desktop design that connects via a USB 3 Type B connector which functions as a MIDI port to the connected computer and compatible software, while also providing power to the Platform Nano itself.
