For FL Studio producers using iCON Pro Audio’s premium controllers, a new level of integration has arrived. Software developer Stephen Baker has created custom scripts that unlock unprecedented capabilities for the V1-M, P1-M, and P1 Nano, transforming these powerful surfaces into FL Studio command centers by harnessing their full functionality. His journey began with a single visual spark:
“What initially drew me to the V1-M was the colour band functionality. It looked so slick, and I hadn’t seen anything like it on an MCU-style controller. When I found out it didn’t work by default in FL Studio, I started digging. With no solution online, I decided to build my own. One thing led to another, and before long, I’d created a full script that pushed the controller far beyond its factory limits.”
The result? A feature-rich integration that redefines tactile production. Here’s how Baker’s scripts elevate your workflow:
1. Dynamic Track Color Band Support
The signature feature that started it all! The V1-M’s RGB bands now sync perfectly with FL Studio’s mixer track colors, creating a vibrant visual workspace.
2. Advanced Plugin Control Modes
Go beyond basic mapping:
Dedicated plugin layer assigns parameters to Pan Encoders, Faders, and MSR buttons
Page through up to 10 plugin slots with full feedback
Surface LEDs reflect plugin states in real-time
3. Fruity Parametric EQ2 Integration
Mix smarter with direct hardware control:
Adjust Gain, Frequency, and Q from encoders/faders
Encoder rings change color to match EQ2 bands (e.g., red for lows)
Reset bands instantly via press/hold actions
4. Color Meter EQ Visualization
A stunning visual feedback system:
Color bands act as real-time EQ meters
LEDs animate with frequency changes across the spectrum
Per-band color matching creates instant visual association
5. Multi-Function Jog Wheel
Unlock 8 powerful modes:
Standard Scroll | Horizontal/Vertical Move | Zoom
Tempo Adjust | Snap Toggle | Undo/Redo History
Slow Jog (1-beat increments) | Precision Mode (micro-editing)
6. Contextual Feedback System
As Baker emphasizes:
“I didn’t want temp messages flying across the whole screen — now each Fader or Pan Encoder shows its own message exactly where it should, so you stay focused.”
Per-channel messages display updates like *”Vol: -3.2dB”* right on the relevant strip
Multi-Unit Banking: Flawless extender integration with synced banking and surface-specific displays
Enhanced Transport & Touch Logic: Full LED state feedback + touch-sensitive mode switching
Modular Architecture: DAW-agnostic core enables easy expansion
Baker’s scripts leverage iCON controllers’ advanced hardware capabilities:
Visual Synergy: Color bands and EQ meters create an immersive experience
Deep Plugin Control: Manipulate complex instruments without mouse diving
Surgical Precision: Jog wheel modes cater to everything from tempo changes to vocal editing
Focused Workflow: Channel-specific messaging keeps you in the zone
Pair these scripts with iCON’s pro controllers:
V1-M Console-Style Controller (Ideal for color band features)
P1-M Compact Controller (Advanced plugin/EQ control)
P1 Nano single fader controller (Workflow-focused precision)
Final Take: Stephen Baker’s scripts transform iCON controllers into FL Studio-tailored instruments by leveraging every hardware capability – from color bands to touch-sensitive faders. They deliver a seamless, visually intuitive production experience that finally matches the controllers’ premium engineering with equally sophisticated software integration.
