The Icon Pro Audio QCon EX G2 is an extender for the QCon Pro G2 universal control surface. The QCon EX provides eight additional channels to your QCon Pro G2 system allowing you to expand in increments of eight to 16, 24, 32 up to 64 channels depending on your DAW with QCon EX G2 extenders.

At the bottom, you also have four modifier keys. The first of those is the second shift key. Then we have the control, the option, and command alt. These correspond to the modifier keys and your computer keyboard. We also have four user-assignable buttons at the bottom, and those can be assigned to a wide variety of different tasks and functions. All housing parts and the angled display sit tightly together, and the fader modules can also be unscrewed individually. The feel of the controls is convincing for a moderately priced DAW controller.

I'm glad you found the spreadsheet helpful! Also, thanks for confirming the scribble strips are tough to read on the XTouch - I almost didn't mention that in my post, as I felt some trepidation about casting shade on something I had no personal experience with. I have one question though, do you have issues with the pan knobs remembering their position? (not a deal breaker) Okay, that’s it – I hope the spreadsheet * is useful to someone. Also, if anyone is thinking of getting one of these, I'd be happy to answer some questions.
