I'd really like to buy one of these if I can easily program it to CC1, CC2, CC7, CC11.....etc etc... Is anyone here successfully using it like this?

This is what I was really hoping to hear. Thank you.I'm using a platform x as a simple fader box. Disabled all the the lights and motorized faders. I just use it to control CC data. Works great for that purpose. You can create your own mapping for the device quite simply.
What DAW are you using with the Platform M? The solution you describe in the other thread would be a great workflow for my setup, but I'm not sure I can get Logic to play along. Seems to be an issue with Logic's clunky handling of bidirectional midi from my research, though perhaps the BMT software can address that issue.I use the Platform M as a multipurpose controller for DAW control (gain on current track as well as automation) and MIDI performance. Plus several other odds and ends like controlling some functions of my RME interface (main volume, dim, mute, headphones etc.)
All that is made possible via Bome MIDI Translator which I have taking the events from the controller in MCP mode and translating/routing appropriately. It's definitely not a plug and play config.
There's another thread here where I talk about the Platform M and give a long list of the things I like and don't like about it, if you're inclined to search.
I use Reaper, plus Reaticulate which handles feedback of CCs to the Platform M (via BMT which sits in the middle). I'm afraid I won't be able to offer much advice about Logic.What DAW are you using with the Platform M?
Alas, thanks regardless!I use Reaper, plus Reaticulate which handles feedback of CCs to the Platform M (via BMT which sits in the middle). I'm afraid I won't be able to offer much advice about Logic.
Great intel, thank you!Just got a Platform X+ to use as a motorless CC controller in Logic and getting things to behave was more difficult than I'd imagined. I think it mostly came down to not liking to be plugged in anywhere but directly into the computer, and without a USB extender... which necessitated some juggling on my part. YMMV.
Now that it's all set up, though, it works like a dream. What a handsome piece of kit!
Hi Kmaster, could you please describe how you got this working? I also have X+ and want to use that as a consumer defined midi controller. I think I tried everything (also following the official video tutorial on the icon website), and connected it directly to the iMac. The re-designed button do function, but I can't get any CC1, etc out of the fader. Very frustrating...Just got a Platform X+ to use as a motorless CC controller in Logic and getting things to behave was more difficult than I'd imagined.

I set up the custom mapping with the Platform_M+_and_X+ application (which also requires a power cycle after sending the settings). Then I open up Logic and it works!Hi Kmaster, could you please describe how you got this working? I also have X+ and want to use that as a consumer defined midi controller.

When you power the device on, make sure you are indeed using setup #4; double-check page 2 (⌘2) of your Audio/MIDI Setup to verify it is indeed connected, and make sure that you don't have any Control Surface setup in Logic that is trying to intercept what your custom mapping is sending.
