Icon QCon Pro G2 2-stars Reviews

Good hardware horrible functionality

I bought this unit for Reaper on Mac OS as the Qcon G2 is one of few that openly advertised its support.

The Qcon G2 has minor support for Reaper on Mac OS. There is no native support, only the volume faders works, few mapped buttons like record, solo, mute, trim, record , stop, .. , but no fx, bus and other useful functions as you might have seen in some youtube while they use Logic or Pro tools.

The iMap that is used for firmware update crashed on my computer and the support on the icon website was not helpful. They don't even know how the unit is controlled really.

If you try Reaper it does not work any good in the Mackie Control Mode, work the best, but not ideally in Logic pro mode

It is lame to say that the Reaper is supported and not mention that is supported on Windows by third party Klinke driver (I don't know about the implementation quality). Klinke is even pictured on the small manual bundled with the unit. But that is something that nobody tells you, that it might work well but only under Windows..

I was about to return the device, but I'll give it another chance with Logic pro as that seems might be good pair, will see.

cons: The Hardware is well done. It is really well made, but the software side of it is in prenatal and horrible shape. They even tell you unplug wifi when you install firmware.
