Solid choice
A D 27.05.2020
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.

Excellent tool for video editing too!
Hans - Holding de Riddim 07.01.2021
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.

Great DAW controller! Just what I wanted!
isk 18.10.2019
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!

Using it with Pro Tools
Laivheli 31.01.2022
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...

The best controller on budget for Logic Pro X
CostantinoV 25.01.2023
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.

Nice, but not for me
Kobuz 29.05.2020
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.

Not quit as much integrated with Cubase as hoped
cels37 23.05.2020
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 if you use Logic, worthless in every other DAW.
Sami J. Laine 10.04.2021
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 very Handy
Bestie 01.09.2021
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 !

Pro tools limited features as expected
AlMos 23.11.2021
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.
