Behringer X-TOUCH ONE Reviews

A successful product that appeals to medium-sized and professional levels.

Useful Tool

Handy device (for recording/ tracking vocals) as well as doing various volume automations on mixes. Used with Ableton for 1-2 years and it works great.

The best controller on budget for Logic Pro X

I've tested the unit using many different DAW, but it gives his best paired to Logic Pro X, because you can straightly control the selected channel without having to bank between groups of 8 channels like in Cubase or Ableton. If Cubase or Ableton is your DAW, I suggest to search for something else.

Excellent for video as well

I use it mostly as a instant replay controller with vMix. I've owned it for like 4 years now and it never broke or had a slightest problem even when using in various conditions - from open rugby fields trough hockey stadiums to volleyball or basketball venues. For a midi controller i haven't found anythig better.

Using it with Pro Tools

Works quite well with PT. However, many buttons and the big wheel has no use with PT at all. You may want to consider Faderport V2...

Pro tools limited features as expected

Need on/off switch esp for win system. Otherwise bang for a buck. I'd prefer a more weight on fader, but it's ok, you can get used to it.

Does what it says on the box

I purchased this mainly for drawing automation, works well and I find myself using other features. a proper manual would be helpful, but behringer don't really do this.

Very very Handy

We are using this unit with Cubase Pro, all functions work well, it helps an awful lot with our workflow, we do highly recommend this unit if you are looking for something reliable, small and practical !

It does the Job well

I am impressed with the Touch one - It has been a sturdy piece of kit in my studio setting - not to meantion being highly reliable.

It works well with mac and Logic Pro X - at the end of the day it does what it say it does ....well.

Behringer X-TOUCH ONE

I tried other controllers, X-Touch One is very successful and useful, compatible with all daws, I am very satisfied, I recommend it.. Thanks :)

Great if you use Logic, worthless in every other DAW.

Works great in every other way except the most important. It DOES NOT automatically bank to the selected track in ANY other DAW apart from Logic.

This is the one thing this controller is supposed to do, control the fader on your selected track, but you have to manually bank over to your selected track if its outside the 8 track limit in MCU or HUI.

This makes the controller pretty much unusable for large projects, or any project with over 8 or 16 tracks, really.

very good for the money

careful..

they sent me a used one...

missing things

Excellent tool for video editing too!

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.

super +

compact, high-quality, easy to set up and manage, functional weighty kid))) ... (music production)

Simpel small DAW controller

It looks nice, it feels nice and it does what I expect it to do.

I have to be honest, I don't know everything about the unit and didn't even use all it's functions.

But so far it works good and does what I need it to do.

I work in Cubase and it's a huge time-saver for me.

One really important note though.

There is no on/off switch.

Wich means, untill you unplugg the power, it will stay on, eventhough everything else is shut down.

But there's a solution I use and it works great.

A LED light strip Toggle switch dc power adapter connector.

You put this between the powercord and the unit so you can turn the unit on and off without constantly having to pull out the powercord.

Just saying because it seems to come as a surprise to a lot off people.

It came as a suprise to me.

Otherwise I'm really happy with the unit.

Nice, but not for me

Its a very nice controller with loads of functionality for a decent price. The basic mcu mapping ableton works cool, but switching channels becomes tedious whenever you want to go to a channel in a different bank, the controller does not automatically follow and manual bank switching is required. For me this was a dealbreaker and reason to return it. Not sure if behringer can fix this with mapping or if its an ableton thing.

Solid choice

Using this with older versions of Sonar, Cubase and Reason, and more recently Studio One, which has become my primary DAW in the studio.

Build quality is a far cry from some Behringer units of old that I've had the (mis)fortune to use. Everything is pretty solid for the most part, though they would appear to still be developing and testing their products in very bright rooms, as the LED's are dazzling. I first noticed this trend on a DDM 4000 DJ mixer I have from years ago. The old fix of a few layers of masking tape over the shuttle wheel's LED ring solves this though.

Set to Mackie mode, initially the fader section wouldn't follow the selected channel in Studio One, but a firmware update addressed this. I didn't particularly appreciate the process for this though. Behringer could make this far easier with a simple USB updater app, rather than having to mess around with MIDI-OX and Java, or y'know, even just ship the thing with the latest firmware.

Other than this, the unit has been flawless so far in the limited time that I've had it for. I will need to configure some different buttons soon, but I've yet to delve into any custom mapping yet, so cannot comment on this.

If you also need a simple space-saving unit for basic transport controls and easy punching and shuttling etc then you can't really go too far wrong with this. I mostly bought this for the transport and jog wheel and in this respect it's been great.

Only real downside in use so far is that the fader is reluctant to let me initiate adjustments which can make fine control awkward. Once it accepts your override it moves smoothly and freely, but it feels like some kind of lumpy stepping motor at first. Not a deal breaker for a unit this cheap anyway.

TLDR: Great space-saving DAW controller.

Not quit as much integrated with Cubase as hoped

In combination with Cubase 10.0.60 and latest firmware 1.07 of Behringer. It is more a luxury transportbar, but if that is what you're looking for, than you must realize you can do the same with your keyboard-knobs (shortcuts). You pay if fact for only one fader!

Installing Firmware is rather complex.

Great controller for its price

Perfectly works with Cubase, especially after upgrading the firmware from 1.04 to 1.07. Considering the price it has all in place that could be required to facilitate mixing tasks drastically. Quality of the components (i.e. its fader) corresponds to the price - everything is made of plastic with the corresponding tactile perception. There is no miracle here. I've bought it as a temporary solution till I get Steinberg CC121. But anyway it works just fine and helps me a lot with the writing track automation and controlling mixing process.
