Reviews

Behringer X Touch Compact
Was looking for an Outboard Controller for my DAW(LogicPro). After doing research & watching Video,I chose the Behringer X Touch Compact. This thing is really cool & handy to have. I have not unlocked all it's features,but it helps me to access DAW Controls much faster(than the Mouse!) Haven't synced it to my Synth Keybd yet,but My Retirement is approaching.So I will have tome to Explore the X Touch. Kudos to my Sweetwster Salesperson Dave Brow.
Music background: Bassist,Gigging Musician,Songwriter/Home Recording.
Great tech svc
Anticipating its arrive, excited about getting more control over my mixes. thx again
Great controller
This is the successor to the venerable BCF2000 motorfader controller which I have used for years.

Pros:
More controls than its predecessor
Quieter motorfaders than its predecessor
Good build quality, nice rubber buttons which are much better than its predecessor

Cons:
MIDI mapping can't be edited on the unit itself, must use editor software. (The editor software provides as much flexibility as you could want for the mappings though.)
Editor software is Windows only, no Mac or Linux support. (The controller itself works fine on Mac / Linux, you just can't change the mappings.)
Only two layers (sets of what all the parameters map to), as opposed to 10+ on the BCF2000.
Now My XR-12 Digital Mixer Motorized Faders!
... use this w/osiMIDI, X-Air Edit,and an XR-12. Amazing functionality and really nice to have tactile control over XR-mixer functions. We use ours as a live gig set-up, but we can see the value in using an X-Touch in the studio,with the bigger XR-18 mixer and it's multi-channel USB interface. Wish it was sleeker/upgraded to look 2020 but the main thing is that it works-and works well,too. Perfect add on to the X-Air mixer series...
leave the mouse behind.... awesome
Just what I was looking for and more!
