This works just like a Mackie Control Universal which is what I’ve used for 10+ years. What’s great is that it has the smaller form factor of the avid artist mix/euphonix mc mix. I never liked Eucon as I’m far more comfortable using the mcu protocol because I know it inside and out. I also have a custom built desk with my master midi keyboard built in. So between me and my MCUs is my 88 key midi keyboard and then an apple keyboard, which makes reaching my MCU a bit of a stretch. My desktop can slide over my midi keyboard, but even with that, my mcu v-pots always feel a little out of reach. The size of the platform m is perfect though. I can even reach the v-pot why playing my keyboard. Love the color as well. Faders are solid and not loud at all on playback. Setup is really easy and automatic. You don’t even have to set the midi port in Logic. I’m still waiting for my platform b+ to arrive but then I think I’ll be all set. Going to be nice to have more space in the desk and to get my computer monitors a few inches closer to my eyes. Bravo to everyone at icon. Been waiting for this exact product for years ever since the euphonix mc line came out! Review: Take a chance! I’m glad I did!!!! - Small footprint! Works great!!! Super happy with it! I run Logic Pro X and it’s great for my small studio! I ignored all the old bad reviews, took a chance and am glad I did! The firmware has been updated so some YouTube videos are not relevant. ## Features - 8-Channel Extender for platform M+ - Expandable to 32-channels control surface with 3 units of platform x+ and a platform M+ - 8 touch-sensitive motorized faders with 10-bit resolution - 8 dual-functions encoder knobs - Mackie control presets for Cubase, Nuendo, amplitude, Logic Pro, Bitwig, studio One and Ableton Live; HUI preset for Pro Tools - Includes free recording software, such as Harrison 32C Vocal Intensity Processor, a “greatest hits” collection of features from Harrison’s analog console heritage, Harrison AVA plugins and Mixbus32C workstation; Tracktion DAW Essentials, a collection of 16 contemporary FX plugins for use with any DAW; Dotec Audio plugins for streaming, podcasting, recording and mixing; and Bitwig Studio 8-Track, the trim and effective digital audio workstation to start producing, performing, and designing sounds like a pro, all available via download upon purchase and registration - 1-year warranty (18-month with registration) valid if purchased from authorized US dealers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079LWVD8J | | Additional Features | Touch-Sensitive Motorized Faders and Dual-Function Encoder Knobs | | Best Sellers Rank | #217,807 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #136 in Digital Audio Workstation Controllers | | Brand | iCON | | Brand Name | iCON | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Cubase, Nuendo, Samplitude, Logic Pro, Studio One, Bitwig, Reason, Ableton Live, Pro Tools | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Type | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | Touch and Knob Controller | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 82 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04897022374532 | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC/Mac | | Human Interface Input | Touch Pad | | Included Components | User Manual, Power Adapter, Warranty Card, Safety Information Sheet, USB Cable, Harrison 32C Vocal Intensity Processor, AVA plugins and Mixbus32C workstation; Tracktion DAW Essentials; Dotec Audio plugins; Bitwig Studio 8-Track Included Components User Manual, Power Adapter, Warranty Card, Safety Information Sheet, USB Cable, Harrison 32C Vocal Intensity Processor, AVA plugins and Mixbus32C workstation; Tracktion DAW Essentials; Dotec Audio plugins; Bitwig Studio 8-Track See more | | Instrument | Digital Audio Workstation | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Type Name | DAW Controller | | Item Weight | 5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Icon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 314574 | | Material Type | Metal | | Mixer Channel Quantity | 8 | | Model Name | Platform X+ | | Model Number | ICOC-PLATFORMX+ | | Model Year | 2017 | | Noise Control | None | | Outer Material | Metal | | Product Style | Platform X+ | | Size | Platform X+ Extender | | Special Feature | Touch-Sensitive Motorized Faders and Dual-Function Encoder Knobs | | Supported Software | Ableton Live | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ICON - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Special Feature:** Touch-Sensitive Motorized Faders and Dual-Function Encoder Knobs - **Model Name:** Platform X+ - **Size:** Platform X+ Extender ## Images ![Icon Pro Audio Platform X+ - 8 Channel Extender for Platform M+ DAW Control Surface - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hgx7-0C0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by M***R on October 13, 2018* So far so good.

New firmware was issued for the Icon Pro which has vastly improved connection to my DAW (Cubase) Previously I would battle with the unit not being recognised. This is now a non-issue. Hardware continues to work very well. Connection is Stable Small note (as with other controllers) - this unit (like others) creates MIDI data, so be specific with selecting MIDI input channels for MIDI tracks. I still rate customer support as average, but they did fix the main issues I was having. Given a recent question asked about button illumination colour, I have added a picture of this. Pros: Solid build, Motorised faders, Good Control Surface Cons: Generic Driver frequently disconnects. Firmware Update Utility doesn't work. Slow (possibly no) support. The unit itself is nice to use, and works well. Motorised faders track Volume automation in cubase and it controls things seamlessly. The added-Platform-D display makes it easy to see what is controlling what. This is WHEN it works. The unit uses a Generic USB driver. This seems to be easily conflicted with other devices (and I don't have many things connected to this computer apart from a sound-interface and MIDI keyboard). As a result the unit will stop working, requiring the driver to be uninstalled and reinstalled with monotonous regularity. Often the driver will not reinstall correctly if there are ANY other devices connected (necessitating all USB devices be disconnected) Incredibly frustrating, and rather Mickey-mouse implementation for such a unit. I had hoped that the problem may be fixed by a firmware update, but alas the firmware update facility does not work (despite an aparently functioning installed driver). A support ticket so far has had NO REPLIES, so I wait, with a frustrating semi-usable piece of gear. If the driver was robust, and the unit stayed connected it would be 5* great. As is, the reliability issues are a MAJOR negative, and make it so-so. I remain wondering whether I should have sprung for the Avid product instead. I guess I'll wait and see if the support ticket gets addressed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/75349763-icon-pro-audio-platform-x-8-channel-extender-for-platform](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/75349763-icon-pro-audio-platform-x-8-channel-extender-for-platform) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
