Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
In the control surfaces section? Or is it configured as a midi device? Are you using the Klinke extension or an Icon-specific one? It's not one of the listed ones in my drop-down but I've never tried to set one up.

Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
Its in both. I have it set as active in the midi list and the surface controller section in preferences. I am using the Drivenbymoss extension which used to work fine everytime I loaded Reaper.
Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
Ok, bearing in mind that I don't have an Icon and I'm not sure exactly how you're configuring it, but does it need to be active in both places? I have my BCR set up in the control surfaces section but disabled as a midi device.

It might need to exist in there, not sure, but it shouldn't need to be enabled.

Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
Nope, disabling in the midi section has no effect. It still shows up in the control surface in preferences but is unresponsive. It seems intermittent as every so often, doing the same actions links it up fine. I then shut down Reaper, open again (same settings) and the Qcon is again left out in the cold unresponsive. So why would it work intermittently ? It's not logical.
Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
Unfortunately we're now beyond my ken. Only thing I can suggest is asking on the Reaper forum.

Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
Have no fear, I have managed to get it to consistently work with the mackie configuration which does the job. I will quit while I am ahead. Thanks anyway for your suggestions in the head scratching department.
Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
No worries, glad you've got it going to some degree.

Re: Icon QCon Pro G2 and Reaper
This may be a stupid suggestion, but have you tried replacing the USB cable? If the fault is intermittent or the controller just stops communicating with your DAW, it sounds more like a hardware failure.
I bought a 10 metre USB printer cable from Amazon.
I also have a 5 metre cable and the shorter (1.5m?) cable that came with my Qcon (the earlier Qcon Pro model).
The 10m cable appears to work, then within just a couple of button presses, communication between the 2 devices just stops.
The other 2 cables work fine, despite going via a USB hub (which could also be the cause of your problems).
Unfortunately, after making the dumbassed decision to buy a late 2020 M1 Mac mini (by far my worst-ever IT purchase) whose measly 2 USB-C ports have already failed, I'm now left with a measly 2 USB 3.0 ports into which I have 8 devices connected via 2 USB hubs... now there's a disaster waiting to happen.
