New in version 2.5.1.

Overview

The iControls has 9 faders and rotary encoders, a set of 8 transport buttons, and 2 buttons per fader. There is also a joystick on the left side of the controller that acts as a mouse.

Note

The iControls technically supports 4 layers, but only layer 1 is distinguishable from the other layers in the default configuration, so only layer 1 is currently mapped.
