The eight 100mm motorized faders are generally used for controlling the track
volume of your DAW. They are all touch sensitive to allow override automation
the moment you touch a fader. Also, they are motorized; they will automatically
move to reect the current level of the selected channels in your DAW
application. Any automation recorded in a project will be reected by the fader
positions.
2. Master fader
This 100mm motorized fader operates the same as the other 8 faders. It controls
your DAW software's master channel fader.
Note: Except Pro Tools – Pro Tools software is designed in such a way that the
fader next to your last channel fader always acts as the master channel fader.
3. Knobs
The eight rotary encoder knobs are generally used for controlling the track pan
position, aux send levels and EQ of your DAW. You may also preset them to
adjust specic parameters within plug-ins and virtual instruments.

There are two different methods for setting your Platform M+ according to your
need. In general, it would be much simpler and faster to set the device to premapped DAW mode with Mackie Control/HUI protocol depended on your using
DAW. The device has build-in different DAW Mackie/HUI protocol as below:
1. Nuendo (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Nuendo
2. Cubse (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Cubase
3. Logic (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Logic Pro X
4. Samplitude (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Samplitude Pro
5. Ableton Live (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Ableton Live
6. ProTools (HUI Control Protocol) – For Pro Tools
7. Reaper (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Reaper
8. Studio One (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Studio One
9. Reason (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Reason
10. Bitwig (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Bitwig
11. Sonar (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Sonar
12. Audition (Mackie Control Protocol) – For Audition
Or you could self dene each control element on your Platform M+ with your own
MIDI messages that provided on the iMap’s function pull-down menu. However,
unless you are fully understood the MIDI structure of your using DAW otherwise
this would be a real hassles task for the set up. Actually we strongly recommend
you to use the pre-mapped DAW mode as they are programmed according to a
lot of user preferences and it will most likely suit your need.
