Behringer X-TOUCH ONE Reviews

Great unit!

I had a faderport classic, but i had to replace it since i was having compatibility issues with my my mac/logic.

Since i got the x touch one, i had no issues at all, working flawlessly. The touch is awesome, and it is built like a tank. The 2+ usb connections is very handy too. Good job on this Behringer!

One of the best purchases I ever made.

I use Reaper, so it was a bit tedious to set-up, thankfully there are a couple threads on the Reaper forum that present solutions. The only thing I am disappointed with, is the fader resolution, I believe it is a 7bit, so precise fader movements are kind of hard.

Great DAW controller! Just what I wanted!

Simply an amazing piece of gear!

Currently I'm mostly working in Reaper, Win 7, so my user experience comes from that environment.

Previously I had an Alphatrack which is a great controller, able to pick up plugins and giving you a chance to control nearly any parameter with the encoders (although I found it faster to do it with a mouse - so another good investment is an ergonomic mouse, vertical one or a trackball - you need to try what's working best for you), with a very informative display. The only downside were transport buttons which were so hard to push that it really started standing in the way of the workflow. Thus I started looking around for something else.

I also had an MCU and MCU Pro which are also great but I found I don't need all those faders, just basic transport functions, a couple of programmable buttons, and that's it.

And here comes Behringer with their X-touch line!

Beautiful, great feel, buttons respond just the way I like!

Due to MCU protocol there is an issue of switching between 8-channel slots. It's been already a number of months of my user experience with this controller, so I don't remember exactly which mode I'm working in (Reaper or standard MCU) but choosing tracks with your mouse reflects on the X-touch flawlessly, although you can't choose tracks using channel select buttons on the controller. I don't really need that, so that's not a problem for me.

In Reaper I programmed F1-6 buttons to basic automation and save/undo functions and thus got everything I wanted from this controller!

Thus I can highly recommend this unit! I only wish Behringer solved that tracks choosing issue to make it a flawless unit at an amazing price. Otherwise I'm completely satisfied with my purchase.

Good luck everyone!

Good Quality Product

Links up very well with Logic Pro and my computer. Decent bit of kit for the price of the control surface. Would definitely recommend to other producers.

Studio One user

As a studio one user this works very good. All buttons are functioning properly and some can be even re-assign to what you need. Build quality is awasome although the unit does not sit very straight on my desk but that is the minimum.

Highly recomended for those who are recording at home and will help your workflow. Not recomended for mixing.

Excellent value for money

Using with Logic X and Soft Tube Console 1. Solid build quality and reliability very happy. Considering the 8 fader version to use with this as well.

A great addition to Cubase

This is a lovely addition to Cubase 10. Having visual feedback of all of the main functions means I can ditch the transport bar and free up more screen space for the tracks/mixer.

I had to update the firmware from the shipped version (1.04 to 1.07) before I could get the controls to work with Cubase, and the initial setup is a little "hidden" in the manual, but as long as you read the instructions, it's all pretty straight forward.

The only negative was that I was shipped an EU PSU plus an adaptor which doesn't fit. Fortunately I had a spare 9v PSU but I could have been stranded which would have been a shame.

Behringer X-TOUCH ONE

For the price it is exceptionally good! You should evaluate the 8 channel big brother, because after a while you'll love the possibility to avoid the mouse to mix and the real slider. If you mix a lot you'll miss the 8 or more channels. If you compose and adjust effects all the time... perhaps this control surface devices are not for you. This model offer you a lot for the price, very good value. The joggle possibility is nice. The slider looks cheap but it does the job. If you are fare from the keyboard and you wants to record your instrument / voice you can operate with a long usb cable from a remote position (I tried with 8 meter good quality usb cable and it is ok)

Built like a tank. Excellent quality. Cheap! Very rich in functions. Generous number of daw specific overlays. Works as expected. Wish it had an elastic Jog wheel...oh well who cares this thing is a winner. It outperforms my Mackie pro which i own and has failed me on 2 (famous) Moving Faders in a short period. Still own a BCF2000 which never had any flaws whatsoever. This is a worthy successor. Give it a go its a very decent piece of hardware.
