Behringer X-TOUCH ONE 5-stars Reviews

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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)

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.

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!

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.

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.
