Behringer X-Touch Mini

I have seen complaints that it is not possible to change the values of the rotary encoders over MIDI (i.e. transmit data back to the x-touch mini). This is absolutely possible, although the Behringer documentation doesn't seem correct on this point. The following is how to do it in standard (non-MC) mode. For example, you can change the value of the leftmost controller by sending a value between 0-127 to controller 1 over MIDI channel 11 (which is the default channel for the unit). The rotary controls receive MIDI controller values 1-8. This method also sets the LEDs accordingly. The button LEDs also don't respond to transmitted MIDI data as documented in the Behringer guide. To turn them on, use notes 8-23 with velocity 1 (again over channel 11). To turn them off - same note numbers, velocity 0. In MC mode the controllers transmit incremental data (so there's no concept of changing the values by sending MIDI to the unit). The LED rings don't light up by default, but they respond *on channel 1* to controllers 48-55 to MIDI values in the following way: 0 = all off 1-11 = single 16 = all off 17-27 = pan left to right 32 = all off 33-43 = fan left to right 48 = all off 49-54 = center fan out ...then the pattern repeats from value 64. Not all of the LEDs are used in MC mode - it looks like it's set up to represent numbers 0-10 (only 11 out of the 13 LEDs are used). Hope this helps. So far I'm pretty happy with this thing - planning to use it to control my Pure Data patches.

Solid feel, easy to connect with Logic and Live, portable, USB powered. This replaced an old NanoKontrol that died on me after very little use.

Product Excellent

Great product for the price. I use mine for photo editing and video production.

This is my 2nd Behringer Xtouch Mini. I use these in combination with the free software LR2MIDI, and program various Lightroom functions, tools, and presets to the MIDI controller nobs and buttons. This has greatly reduced the use of the mouse, speeds up editing, and allows for real-time viewing of the adjustments when using the nobs. When using the mouse to make these same adjustments it is difficult to ensure that your mouse is hovering on the correct slider, so that your focus is removed from the image. With the Midi controller, you view the image and turn the dial until the desired affect is attained. I wish I had discovered that this would work with Lightroom years ago, I could have saved many hours of editing work, and also saved the wear & tear of my wrist from using the mouse so much.

I'm using the X Touch Mini as an alternative to much higher priced equipment on the market dedicated to digital photo editing. When paired with midi-to-keyboard shortcut software, it works great with photo editing software. The controls can be tailored to individual workflow. Programming of all controls is highly flexible, and reprogramming is easy. Editing time is shortened and becomes more efficiently used. A set of legs or angled base would enhance my working conditions. The X Touch Mini laying flat on the desk is OK, however, having the controls facing towards me would be even better and more comfortable during a long editing session.

I have been waiting for something like this. I might be late to the game as the product has been out for a while, but I can see the endless possibilities. It might be an exaggeration to say that my workflow has been efficient as I am getting used to the controller, but I have seen an improvement in lightroom. It is actually quite easy to assign the commands to each of the buttons. Quality-wise I would say that it is great, though plastic, but it is still great to the touch in my opinion. The controller is quite small, but not tiny. It does allow me to place the controller, laptop, mouse, mousepad, charger, and cables in my bag without a hassle. I would purchase the controller again if I had to.

great for price!

I use this with SpadNext software to program it to work with MSFS 2020. It works perfectly, but does require you to program it, which is the tricky part and can take some time (good tutorials in YT). I now have 2 of these as part of my 787 setup.

Use 2 of these for my flight sim program (XP12). Work well, thanks to Mark's software. Reasonable price, good quality, should have a long life.

J'ai acheté ce produit pour l'utiliser avec Flight Simulator 2020, afin de contrôler le pilote automatique et les radios. Le produit est fantastique et les encodeurs sont très précis. Les knobs peuvent également être pressées, ce qui augmente le nombre de fonctions. Les deux layers de fonctions doublent le nombre de knobs, passant de 8 à 16, ainsi que tous les autres boutons. Tout est programmable via Spad.Next, qui est requis pour l'utilisation dans le simulateur, y compris l'éclairage des boutons. C'est un produit recommandé pour ceux qui ne veulent pas dépenser trop en achetant des répliques de différents panneaux. Compatible aussi avec les produits PMDG et FENIX, des profils pour Spad sont déjà disponibles sur le web, vous n'avez donc rien à inventer de zéro. Seul point négatif : aucun support n’est inclus pour le maintenir à la verticale, il faut donc improviser avec un peu de bricolage.

8 yıllık videolarını gördüğüm için 10 yıldır ellenmemiş bir ürün olduğunu ve geliştirmeye gerek duymadıklarını düşünmüştüm. Gerçekten de bu bitmiş, başarılmış bir ürünmüş. Estetikten yoksun denebilir ama ağırlığı ve kalite hissi gayet yerinde. Yapabilecekleri ise bir midi kontrolcüsü olmanın çok ilerisinde. Araştırmanızı tavsiye ederim.

Lightroomでの作業効率化を目的に、2018年にX-TOUCH MINIを購入しました。mac環境で、Lightroom ClassicやPhotoshopにBetterTouchToolを使って割り当て、左手デバイスとして約1年ほど使用しました。 まず感じたのは、物理的な完成度の高さです。ダイヤルのクリック感や押し込み機能は非常に快適で、たとえば「回転で拡大・縮小、押し込みでリセット」といった直感的な操作ができます。ボタンの押し心地も良く、Photoshopではアクションを割り当てて使っていました。 一方で、実際の作業においては割り当てすぎが仇になることも体感しました。こういった左手キーボード系のデバイスは「ここにも、あそこにも機能を割り当てたい」とつい欲張ってしまいがちですが、結局よく使うのはほんの数個。それならもっとコンパクトなデバイスの方が効率的だと気づきました。 X-TOUCH MINIはサイズがやや大きく、複数アプリで切り替えて使うには割り当ての記憶やラベルの工夫（私はアプリごとにシートを印刷して載せていました）が必要。これが面倒になり、最終的に使用をやめました。現在はStream DeckとStream Deck Mobileを使っており、アプリごとに動的に表示が変わる液晶ボタンの利便性が、自分には合っていると感じています。 また、露出や拡大縮小といった操作も、8ボタンマウスで対応できるようになり、左手を動かす必要性が薄れたのも使用をやめた一因です。
