X-Touch : Nice addition to X32Rack

Bought this unit for controlling my X32Rack and ocasionally using it with DAW. It's possibility of controlling X32 is quite good - I didn't expect that it's even possible to configure FXes! You can't select them though… you can change already selected FXes.

There are multiple controlling modes in this (MCU, MIDI or Xctl - which is protocol strictly created for X32 remote control) and many DAWs and X32 uses buttons differently. At first I thought about buying or - at least - printing overlays for it. But after spending 30 minutes with unit I get used to "what is where" on buttons and I feel like I don't need overlay anymore. Everything is intiutive - altough scribble strips are strange cause looking at them at high angle makes them look like displaying colors inverted.

The only sad thing about X32 control is missing "GEQ on Faders" :(

Since I'm IT guy with some programming skills I was playing with MIDI/SysEx messages too, and all I can tell - you can do more with this unit than you think. If you do web search enough, you'll find how to change labels on scribble strips and colors manually from your computer and maybe write some custom implementation for it! Quite handy and nice. Just remember to use MIDI mode for that!
