X-TOUCH ONE : Excellent tool for video editing too!

5 years ago

I've been searching for a device that has a jog shuttle to control my video editing software. The X-Touch one fits my needs. I'm using it in combination with Magix Video editing software, and to be able to map the midi signals from the X-Touch one to the editing software I additionally bought Bome Midi Translator. It took me a couple of hours to create the mappings, which now include jog shuttle to scroll through the video frames, slow/fast forward/backward, chapter markers, multi-cam camera selection and play/pause/stop.

The jog shuttle is working well, but it's mechanical feeling could have been slightly better, especially when trying to rotate fast with one finger on top of the button. For fine adjustments it is totally fine.

The documentation for the programming was a bit cryptical, this has cost some extra time. There is a very bad error in the programming manual, taking hours for me to solve it: For Sysex commands it says the X-Touch has device ID 0x40. This is wrong: It is 0x41. After finding and correcting this error programming the thing was easy.
