In case nobody mentioned it The Global view and User view can be totally different. If you open the mix window and look near the bottom left click on the channel list button if it's not already open and look to the right of that and you will see "Remote". CLick on remote and trun on or off what you want to have available on your xtender. Then you can make a user defined layer or fader layout that's different from the global view. Pretty cool. I have an Xtouch and an Xtouch extender both being able to have different set ups. For example by xtouch extender is set to only view my 8 mix busses. That way I always have those faders available to me regardless if I am changing banks on my Xtouch.
Oh yeah. By the way. I checked out all of your videos on this subject and they were great. Appreciate the attention to detail and sharing your mapping.
Thank you for these kind comments!! Glad u like the videos and that the script worked for you too! 😁 I may try to improve it a bit more in the future. If I get anything better then this, I'll let u know it
@@soundrocketstudios I've adapted a bit your script (a workflow is always very personal :) ) but I kept most of your great ideas! I've an iPad so I use TouchOSC as a companion surface for the most importants commands in addition to the X-Touch (as you can see here (bottom left): www.dropbox.com/s/babbpac3r5k95q3/IMG_4734.JPG?dl=0 ) and as you could see I have dual screen so for ex. no need the scrub button to switch to the Console view (who's great for single screen, I agree !!!) but I coud'n assign the scrub button to something else... I don't know why... (although I could make other changes on other buttons ...)
Nyroh I did a template as you can see here: www.dropbox.com/s/85wkmbaxk9qfdc2/IMG_4746.JPG?dl=0 (it was not the final version on the picture). Tell me if you want a copy (no no no I said nothing about your adhesive paper tape 😇)
As a Logic user I think this tutorial is brilliant. Showed me the true potential of the X Touch, thanks. Btw - the jog wheel 'should' scroll much slower when holding the button to the right hand side of it.
@tanza: thanks for the hint but I guess this works in Logic but not in S1. The X-Touch support seems to be more complete in Logic. Please can you check in your Logic installation if there is a file like MackieControl.support.xml also to check how it was implemented in Logic? Maybe we can get some ideas for S1 configuration as well. Thanks a lot!
Hi, Nyroh! I have done some experiments with your mapping file and I discovered that you can assign at least two different actions to one button. Its great and it opens more possibilities and an easier workflow. I hope it helps. Thank you
Hey wikiyo! Thank you for sharing 🥳 Do u mean that you could Mapp different functions and make them happen at the same time pressing one button only? Thank you again! Cheers 🎹 Nyroh
@@soundrocketstudios now the buttons that are next to global view can show faders on the X touch (for example vca) and also it shows me a scene with only the vca channels on the screen... Im not sure if I explained good... It was a discover I did yesterday and I Want to try more combinations. I remembered that yor mapping helped me a lot and I wanted to tell you my discovery ás soon ás I can. We Are in touch. Thanks
@@soundrocketstudios Sorry I was typping on my mobile so I was difficult. I discovered this yesterday. Now in Studio One 5 I can create scenes for audio tracks, busses, fx, vca and make that the buttons that make xtocuh faders chow audio or vca or whatevers scene, also show me those faders on th screen. I think it will be a good idea to try to implement this to chaging banks and maybe theres is no need to use two buttons. I have to do more investigation, but I think that, maybe, shift, control, alt buttons can affect any button....so you can have more button layers with more than one function per button!!!! I hope it works. I will try tonight. Thanks again!
@@soundrocketstudios Hey! InStudio One 4 you can use fader bank button controlling teh change of the bank in the X Touch and also in the screen (You will only need one button!!!!!)
Thanks for the mapping! How do I map F3 and F4 to Page Up Skip and Page Down Skip for switching between plugins? At the moment F3 and F4 seem to do nothing.
Thanks for such a comprehensive video! Some questions: - Can the plugin controls also be flipped from the encoders to the faders? - Can the faders also work as MIDI CC for controlling plugins? Does this require a reboot and change of modes, or can I record in automation and then move back to the big picture?
Yes to the first one. You can flip encoders and faders in every moment and in every mode. Unfortunately no for the second one. It's not a free mappable midi controller I mean....the faders are "internally mapped" as part of the control surface so they can't be mapped as wished You probably can do that with the x-touch compact I'm 99% sure on the second one but I'll check asap to give u a 100% 😁
Just finished watching your video on the Studio One and by the way thanks again for the link to your mapping. I noticed on your video about Ableton, you had no mapping that you did for Ableton. I am anxious to get one of these because I use both Ableton and Studio One, so I can use it for both. Is it easy to change the mapping from one to the other? How do you do that? Thanks in advance for your help. As soon as I can afford, I am going to get one. Maybe then, I have more questions. Best video out there on this machine! Thanks again.
Great info! thank you very much. One question, How do you assign that "Select button" to every channel of your bank? I need to do assign the select button to the first of the bank, the second etc etc. Into the xml I didnt fins nothing about that. Did you do something in the JS file maybe?
On the Mac, you go to your apps folder, right click on Studio One, and choose Show Package Contents.... Then you'll see the folders you need. The XML file is in Applications / StudioOne / Contents / devices / Mackie / Control (Give or take... depending on your version number....)
How do you know what to edit in the script? And is it possible to link 2 buttons at all? For example fader banking and the function keys you've set up to bank in the mixer window so that it does it automatically? (I will point out I have no idea about coding etc)
if i have extenders will this apply to them as well. example...if i bank and open plug ins as you have mapped will it show up on the extender part and follow along? i'd imagine it would as they don't have a control section, but wanted to ask. thanks for sharing the script and keeping it up and available! also will this work on mac?
Thanks for such a detailed and nicely explained video. I'm thinking of getting the X-touch for controlling the MIDI CCs on my kontakt sample libraries. Is it possible to do so with X-touch....i.e. control MIDI CC values with the faders? Please let me know and thanks again for such a crystal clear walkthrugh of the entire controller
Hey Agrawal, sorry but I really haven't tried and kontakt is such a difficult system to control that I really can't say If I get the chanche to test it, I'll let you know
I have an odd question. I have a Soundcraft Sig22MTK mixer that I use as an interface to my Mac. I also use both Ableton and Studio One 5 for my DAWs. I am wondering if I take the feed from my USB out of the Sig22MTK into the X-Touch and then go from there to my Mac, will I be able to use the motorized faders on the X-Touch and all of the other features to record live into either Ableton or Studio One? I realize that this unit is well suited for post production, and that is how I would mostly use it, but I was just wondering. My Soundcraft does not have motorized faders, and this would be cool. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
If i got your question, you'd like to use the USB (audio interface) features of your 22mtk connecting it to the x touch. It could definitely work 😊 (just tried with my Id44 using the x touch as a bridge, just as explained up here) I usually don't do this because of probable increased latency/another step between computer and monitors and so another step for cables (even if we're talking about a digital signal since it's usb) bla bla... BUT the answer is yes you could definitely do it 😊 Cheers 🎹
@Nyroh First of all, AMAZING! Second: One of the Dropbox Links isn't working. Can you please re-link it, I'm dying to try this. Third: How are you actually changing the functions? Is this something we can do? Where do I learn???
Hi Nyroh, Your work is amazing! I just downloaded your modified mapping but still F3 and F4 (and maybe some others) are missing. Is there any chance that you upload a new map? Maybe you can also do a tutorial of how we can do our own mapping?
I just got these working myself, so in case you haven't figured it out by now, or for the benefit of anyone else ... If you find where the F3 and F4 are missing in the XML file, it should read Command control="F3" command.category="Navigation" command.name="Page Up Skip" and Command control="F4" command.category="Navigation" command.name="Page Down Skip" ... Basically, anything that is listed in the keyboard shortcuts menu option, you use the category name and the command name.
Hi, Nyroh! Need your help!! I work in the NI Kontakt sampler with orchestral libraries from Spitfire, Cinematic Studio and VST synthesizers of orchestral instruments from SWAM. To work, you need to control the parameters of dynamic automation (Volume, Expression, Vibrato, etc.). I am considering buying a Behringer X-Touch midi controller because it has motorized faders. This is what is required in my work. On the forum of the Presonus website, I did not find an answer to my question. Please help me. For convenience, I will state my questions on the points: 1. Is it possible to bind X-Touch faders to the Volume, Expression, Vibrato parameters in each NI Kontakt orchestral library so that they are permanently stored in memory for permanent use? 2. I will be happy if point 1 is possible! We will need your help to understand how to configure this in Studio One:) 3. If point 1 and 2 are possible, will the X-Touch motorized fiders automatically be attracted to the already recorded dynamic automation settings? Thank you in advance! I really hope for your help!!!
Can you show how encoders and led screens works with vst instruments for selected channel. from what im seeing right now its most powerfull daw controller on market.
As I said, you can control up to 8 parameters at a time, not more then 8 without modifying the script You can find it in the video. You just have to open up the plugin, go into plugin mode and all the parameters mapped appear on the 8 scribble strips, with everything controllable by parameters or faders (with flip engaged)
Great video. I am evaluating the X-Touch vs the Presonus Faderport8. curious if you also looked at the Faderport products? I had the X-Touch for a few weeks, and just returned it to look at the Faderport8, but based on your video, might re-visit the X-Touch. I like the fact the X-Touch has a couple of USB ports, 3 footswitch pedals, channel level LEDs, larger jog wheel and knobs on each channel, so you can adjust multi channels panning at the same time easier than with one knob on the Faderport. I found your video very helpful, given it is hard to find decent documentation on the X-Touch, except for Studio One review of Mackie Control parameters. cheers Dave from Toronto Canada
Thank you for the kind words and sorry the actual review wasn't made better lol 😅 Got few dislikes for showing too much of my face. Will remember next time 4 sure. About the fp8 Yes indeed! I looked at the faderport and wanted to get it first but after seeing it and touching it I decided not ot go for it... Not a well made dontroller for real (like... I'm talking about the controller itself). The only thing that could make me get the fp 16 (not the 8) is the 16 faders plugin control but apart from it (and maybe the colored buttons) there's nothing that I liked on the fp8 enough to get it I hoped that on this namm presonus would show a new one but seems like we still have to wait!
Hi Nyroh...thx for your walktrough and mods...apparently other people also discovered that in your downloadable mapping the F3/F4 function isn't available...is there a possibility that i can get a downloadlink where this is fixed? I would love to have this feature.....I would do t myself if i had any clue how to....I'm just a bass player (that schould say enough :-P )
Yes you can, you just have to set the parameters on the rotaries first and then switch faders/rotaries to use them on the faders BUT you can't map both rotaries and faders at the same time
yes you can... there is a mapping on the presonus forums that allows the encoders and faders to be pageable 8 times.. thats 64 encoder assignments and 64 fader assignments when in plugin mode..
USER BUTTON also works - you just have to choose channels which you want to assign to user button and then you can have for example 2 audio channels 3 midi channels and 4 buses instead of only audio, auxes or buses channels
Wow love this video really great I love when I have things under control .. I’m waiting for mine .. do you think I can customize it this way on Cakewalk Sonar ?!
I think the right answer should be "I don't know" but I really wanna say yes, absolutely. You'll have to change the xlm file again, this time writing different things probably but it should work perfectly
I moved from SONAR to Studio One 18 months ago. And am very happy with one big exception. Studio One's implementation of the Mackie Control protocol is really poor in comparison. You will be able to do so much more with this control surface in SONAR. You saw in this video how he showed several buttons that do nothing. This is really poor from Presonus. He skirted past the Modifier buttons in this video (Control, Shift, Alt, etc). In SONAR these give you access to probably another 40 or 50 functions. Presonus barely even acknowledges their existence. So the short answer is Yes, you will have a great experience with the X Touch in SONAR. For example he showed that he could not change the resolution of the Jog Wheel. In SONAR you can choose to scroll by bar, beat or frame by holding down these buttons when scrolling. That is just one of dozens of examples I could mention.
Is it possible to enable / disable the 'Control' button with the push of a button (the button which enables you to see the plugin parameters assigned to the console channels) ?
Hi! One thing that I can't find the answer to. How do I switch from mixer (X-Air Edit) to DAW controller? I saw it in one video, but that time I didn't have my X-touch yet.... Thanks!
Great review! I was wondering, in SO4 if you were to say select track 16 in the DAW using the mouse when the XTouch is displaying track 1-8, would the XTouch update and display track 9-16 or do I have to change bank on the XTouch? In other words, does the XTouch follow the DAW completely when selecting tracks?
Hey thank you for commenting! No, unfortunately it doesn't follow what's on screen But you can map buttons as I did and press them if needed, or use the standard move bank/fader buttons, already present on the x touch Cheers
@@herrjingjing The other way around is that you can move what you have on focus on your monitor using what I created as a mapping. And I'm pretty sure the touch on the fader can be mapped to go directly to that channel, but still not sure if it can be done TO move the x touch on what you're seeing on screen
Damn that's a great question! I actually don't know BUT I think that, since it's converting the pedal signal to midi and then to usb anyway (so a normal analog-digital conversion), if u insert your pedal in the x touch and try to map something, you should be able to map that I'll try asap
Hey, very detailed description. I still have some questions: - is it 10 or 7bit faders? - can you scroll the arrangement view horizontally (like with shift+mouse wheel)? - how did you do the reprogramming? - is the big encoder only usable for moving the cursor or could it also be reprogrammed (to work as a horizontal scroll wheel)?
Ok here I am! I have some answers: 1) the x touch compact has 7 bit faders and I can't find anything about the x touch but feel like it's 7 bit too. Really can't find an answer. I'll look some more though! 2) no you can't scrool the arrangement horizontally without moving the cursor. What I didn with the reprogramming is not that difficult, and can surely be done by anyone and to answer more easily your question, here's what you can do: open up the original script and the new one. You'll find the few mods instantly (they're like 5 or 10) and understand how it works ;) I'm not saying this ABSOLUTELY because I don't wanna explain it to you, I'll make a video about it one day for sure. I really don't remember how I did that and can't check now (I'm graduating in the next three weeks and I'm super incredibly busy and full of things to write and do! Teally sorry!) 🤣 Hope this helps anyway 🙏
@@soundrocketstudios Thank you! Haven't found anything about the fader's resolution either. Horizontal scrolling is (for me) the most used function in production and I can't understand that noone feels the same. I always have to use the mouse there while a big knob stares at me saying: sorry. What are you graduating in? I want to build a piece of hardware that does the job of horizontal scrolling (and some extra functions). Would you be interested in such or are you saying, this is not what I really need? Good luck for your exam anyways
@@sebastianteister Graduating in chemistry! Not really a musical thing hehe. I'm two in one body but the music guy is more prominent then the lil chemist lol I like the idea of horizontal scrolling but sincerely haven't ever used it. I eventually always did it with zomming in/out and moving the cursor and since I do mostly mixing and work with markers, after editing I don't look much at the arrangement 🤔 Will try to implement it and tell you how I feel asap! Thank you for letting me know about this!!!
@@soundrocketstudios You always have to scroll horizontally in DAWs imo. When editing parts/patterns, when working at the arrangement, when working in the console/mixer and have more channels than fit on the screen. Only option (in S1) is Shift+MouseWheel or dragging the top/bottom scrollbars. For me it's absolutely natural, after having done some editing (either arrangement or part) to scroll to the next point of interest while the song/part is playing. To move the locator/cursor with the knob - it's same with the Faderport btw - is absolutely useless in that scenario as the song locator is captured while playing. I want to HEAR if my last edit is ok while already working on the next spot. This is a major flaw with all DAWs I tested, S1, Live, Cubase. Especially S1 can't scroll the viewport but only does page flipping. Arrangement as well as Part editing. You can't look (and thus think) ahead because you don't see what comes next when the locator is at the viewports end. You have to grab the mouse and pull the scrollbar. I hate that so much.
Hi Nyroh, great video :-). I bought a X-Touch a few days ago and I start tweaking around with the MackieControl.surface.xml. It seems to be possible to map multiple commands when specific button is pressed. However, I add the commands for changing the view of the banks which is assigned to F1 and F2 in your customized xml to the button fader bank left and right. Each time I press fader bank left will now switch 8 channels to the left and also the vie in S1 and when I click the fader bank right it switch 8 channels to the right and also in S1. Great :-). I'm still trying to find a solution to map the input gain from S1 to the volume pot for each channel instead of changing the volume of the channel itself. Do you have an idea how to tweak the configuration like follows? When specific channel is selected, the upper pot should control pan as it is and when going to flip mode it should change the input gain of the specific channel and not the volume of the channel (as it is by default) fader should still control volume of channel :-). Maybe there is some tweaking necessary in the MackieShared file somehow but I got no clue :-). Have you found any useful documentation about the tweaking the configuration files? Thanks a lot!
BTW: it seems that the Logic Pro implementation has more features. Therfore, is there also a xml File which can be checked how the implementation was made to transfer some parts to the configuration file of S1?
Hey @@PhatNoizeRecords, thank you! Answer to the first question: sorry but I really don't know how to do it. It would be too much of a hustle I think... you would need to create something like a general "modifier"/layer. Giving the possibility to use faders or pots to control something like the input gains (which is a specific parameter present in every channel) is more of a thing like "go into pan mode" or "go into sends mode", with the upper buttons and applies to all the other controls of the x-touch. Don't know how to do it, sorry! I'm also not on mac so don't know if logic uses something like a similar xml file to read the x touch mappings
@@soundrocketstudios Did you also check X-Touch Extender in S1 or do you now someone who uses extended X-Touch to get feedback if it also works. Like switching view 16 tracks forward in the View on one click? Many thanks :-)
Hi Nyroh, great video as always, however I do have a problem with my X-Touch and Studio One 4.6.1, which is... X-Touch does not work at all, however it works perfectly with my other DAW, Cubase LE 10.5.12. I did not see this refered on any of your videos so I'll ask a maybe dumb question... How to setup X-Touch in Studio One? Thanks. Cheers, PauloF
Hey bro is there a way for me to add onto the Mackie Control File Within my X Touch Compact. I see there are several buttons that have not been assigned and I can add them in for studio one: I download med the editor software but The Mackie Control seems to not be editable. Please advise
5 ปีที่แล้ว
Hi Nayroh, congratulations on the video. Please, how do I make the TRACK, PAN / SURROUND, EQ, SEND, PLUG-IN and INST buttons active? thanks
Hi Nyroh, Thank you for the videos. Can I ask do you run Mac or Pc? I had my x-touch running perfect into studio one on my mac using mackie protocol and usb. I recently built a Pc, and cannot get this hooked up to studio one on Windows 10. The x-touch shows up as a non-compatible device and will not work. Not even Brian at Obedia/PcAudio Labs could explain it. We unsuccessfully looked for drivers from behringer and he's supposed to be consulting his contact about it but I haven't heard back. I was wondering if you had any ideas? I cant be the only x-touch windows user
Hey Nyroh, thanks for the video! I have one question tho. The 4 'modify' buttons dont work on my X Touch, not with the original script or with yours. Is there any way to get them working?
Hey @Nyroh thank you for sharing your presets, does it work with Xtouch + Extender??? And what are the differences between Qmap2 and your pack please ?
Hey sorry for the delay! No, it doesn’t work with the extender and I just searched but don’t know what qmap2 is 🤔 did to find your answer? Thank you for commenting and sorry again for the delay!
@@soundrocketstudios QMAP is an application that someone named Matt from Modern Idiots created that maps the XTOUCH to various DAWs including Studio One.. He implemented as much functionality into the xtouch as the faderport has for studio one.. I started to purchase it form him but he wouldnt sell to me because he was short on supplies (for the overlay).. In retrospect, i could have made my own overlay but thats all moot now... The seller's website has been down for a while now and i don't know a way outside of his domain to contact him. But all is well since i was able to make your script do what i want it to do for the most part.. Thanks for your work!!
Well I finally was able to check out your script and make it work. Excellent! I have it working on my PC but when I went to look for this fix to be able to run on my Mac I've had no luck. I've spent hours searching the web and my computer files to see where the heck anything mackie control xml is hiding. I am about to give up. :( Does anyone know how to get this to work using it on a Mac?
Great work! Thanks. The only thing I can't get to work is the scroll through plug-ins using F3 and F4. F5 brings up the first plug in, and then F3 and F4 do nothing! Weird.
Thank you! If you're using my mapping that's a bit strange but if not, the f buttons are actually not premapped (usually) So you'll have to map. The two things u wanna map are "Page Skip Up" and "Page Skip Down" 💪🏻💪🏻 Search for them and you'll get everything to work
Ciao, sto pensando di prendere l'X-touch compact invece del faderport 8 (che è proprio bello, ma costoso), quindi mi chiedo, l'X touch è al 100% è compatibile con Studio One 4? Grazie in anticipo :)
Ciao! X touch compact purtroppo, a parte le funzioni base simili, funziona in modo piuttosto diverso dall'x touch quindi non so dirti se sia buono o no... Sicuramente è compatibile, ti consiglio di cercare qualche confronto. Nel caso comunque il tuo range sia intorno ai 300 (x touch compact costa da noi 250-300), nel caso ti piaccia il format degli x touch ti consiglio vivamente di estenderlo di poco e prendere quello normale che è ben più avanzato del compact, anche avendo gli scribble strip (e nel caso ti servisse avresti anche questo script) Nel caso invece ti piaccia davvero il faderport 8 (guardarne uno dal vivo che è più piccolo di quanto sembri... Io non l'ho trovato molto ergonomico dal vivo) e non ti servisse subito, potresti attendere e vedere se ne esca uno nuovo a breve (febbraio 2017 è uscito il primo, febbraio 2018 il 16 quindi forse febbraio 2019 uscirà qualcosa ma non fidarti di me, non ne sono certo) 🤣 Mi spiace ma più di così non so dirti! Buona musica 🎹
Hey Nyroh! I am truly racking my brain trying to figure out how to install this mapping! Any help is GREATLY appreciated! I've got a Mac (as it looks like you do as well!) and I can't seem to locate the Program Files folder. The directions are Program Files - Presonus - Studio One X - devices - Mackie - Control, but I've tried searching my Mac for a Program Files folder and can't find one at all! I have no earthly clue how to install and run this xml file lol.
Hey guys! Here's the new version of the review! With EVERYTHING you need to know before buying it and the lowest prices I could find too th-cam.com/video/3wtmm8vmWLg/w-d-xo.html
I understand how to edit the Function buttons , but can you tell me how to edit the rest of the buttons like the scrub or the marker buttons??? please!!!
Hey that's great 😁 I'm still using mine today and works really great as shown in the video If you mean the banks between which you can move using the fader bank buttons, there's no limit. It depends on how many tracks you have in studio one 👌🏻
Hey, anyone facing noisey faders when they move fast? When i try to create a wave, just for.fun they make a lot of noise going up but are very quite while coming down. It is very strange, can someone help me?
I just bought (Xtouch and Xtouch extender) thanks to Nyro's review: completely satisfied! However, the remapping links are dead? Is this normal? I have exactly the same prod reflexes on this controller, I hope that the links will be available (and we avoid remapping ourselves) Even if there is a problem during remapping, we must remain vigilant and make backup copies in case ... Thanks Nyroh and keep up your great job!
Sorry but I'm still having problems with the dropbox links... Here it is! Let me know if it works www.dropbox.com/s/h6wdkgzv669hkvx/MackieControl.surface.xml?dl=0
@@soundrocketstudios Very great! Work like a charm! Thanks Nyroh for this time saving. Any another very helpfull video about "controlling plugin" with Xtouch? I saw that under ableton live 10, the integration of plugins is almost instantaneous (a press on Xtouch Knob and you can make settings without remapping each plugins!) I mainly produce under live 10, but mix on PSO4. .. I really have a problem for controlling all my plugins in Studio One except to remap them one by one, another suggestion?
Great mapping! It works almost perfect! My metronome click gets activated every time I use the global mute though, how can I get around that? Now I need to disable the click with the mouse or keyboard.
Unfortunately I never used the global mute that much and kinda found that problem only recently! Sorry about that, I'll have to look into what's wrong but learn everything again first 😅 Give me some time to look into it or let me know if you find a workaround Thank you for the info! Cheers
@@herrjingjing ohHhHhhhHhhHhhH!!!!! At the end of the script? I'll check tomorrow asap and let you know if that works for me too You rock 🤘🏻 Thank you Cheers Nyroh
A bit confused by the XML file you linked to. It changes the definition for buttons F1, F2 and F5 but simply _removes_ definitions for F3, F4, F6, F7 and F8. Did you link to the wrong file or am I missing something?
I really wanted the ability to open the channel editor and step backwards and forwards through plugins. Turns out there's a workaround. By default, F7 pops up the first plugin. Then, when open, you can scroll through plugins by holding Option down and using FaderBank Left/Right buttons. Also, you can scroll through the presets for a plugin by holding Option and using Channel Left/Right buttons. I haven't seen the Option modifier documented anywhere, but I spotted it in the the original XML file while trying to figure out why the F-key mappings weren't working.
It shouldn't "remove" the possibilty to map the F buttons though! You can still map them however you want, you just need to map them in the project you're working on how you wish to use them that time or create a template and save the F mappings you prefer ;)
@@soundrocketstudios Yes, that's true. But in your video you specifically mention that your template reassigns the function buttons. However, these reassignments are not in the linked file and that may be very confusing to folks who download it and discover it doesn't match your description.
@@stevenhirsch7988 Oh!! D: I'll check asap, I actually had problems with the latest s1 update and it completely removed my mapping but thought that it was because I just had to reinsert it in the usual folder but....I may have to change something! I'll check asap Thank you!!!
Here I am. Are you on mac or windows? Because I just reinstalled the mapping (you just have to drop it in the right folder) and it works as explained in the video :/ (I'm on Windows)
I unfortunately don't think it will! That's because they probably have different signals for every different button. If I remember well the compact is anyway more mappable than this big one
Nyroh is there a way for you to show me how to map it do everything like EQ, VST Instruments, and everything else I need for tracking and mixing sufficiently?
@@BobbyWashingtonvlog Mapping in studio one works the same with every controller: once the plugin is up you have to turn the plugin mapping into focus (and not global), then select the parameter you want to control and turn the (in your case with the eventual x touch compact) rotary you want to use. Using "Focus" mode, the mapping stays the same for every same plugin you have in every project
@@BobbyWashingtonvlog That's a thuff question... I relly like how my x touch works (even if IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I kinda got an incredible computer keyboard mapping and I'm using my x touch less). As I said in the past, the only things that to me are better in the faderports are: better control of sends (even if...let's be clear, how many times during your project you change your send amout?) and the channel strip colors. With the faderport 16 you'll get 16 faders with which you could control your plugins AND control pages (you could control 32 parameters of a specific plugin (maybe more?)). But you'll have super worst faders (closer together, worst feel (tested them one against the other)), no pan pots, closer and more rubbery buttons, worst jog... That's just too much of a tuff question for me lol I've been thinking about it so many times and it's been something like two years that I've been waiting for presonus to make a controller with pan pots, better faders, better controller frame and color scribble strips. But I guess I'll have to wait all my life for something like that
Under your function keys I see how to open and close plug ins but how do you assign the forward and back button. What are they called in Studio One. Or what heading are they under. thx
Another question, will your modified .xml file work for a Mac? I would love to know how to make it work for me on that platform, thanks again for the great review,
@@Steviee8 Sorry for not answering before Strangely the only way to move to another plugin in the plugin view is the Page Skip Up and Page Skip Down functions. Don't really remember where to find them but knowing the names I hope you can find them The mapping shouls absolutely work on mac too! Have a nice day!
Nyroh I found it. Thanks. And no problem with the long time. I’ve been messing with it for some time now and found out what the buttons do that we thought didn’t do anything. Inst. opens up that midi instrument only if you have selected that channel that has a midi instrument. I seem to the other button to the left of the time display seems to open your channel view on the scribble script. So that you can always see what channel you are on since sometimes when not in Pan mode you’ll be able to see the name of those channels. Thx again
@@Steviee8 that's great man! Glad you found it. Unfortunately there's no other way apart from this skip page up/down (yet). And thank you for the othe info, I'll give them a try tomorrow asap Cheers! 🎧
Please could you do this again. How dose it work with studio one 5. I would like to get one as I use an X Air 18 as an audio interface but I use a Nektar Panorama P4 that just stopped working after I did the 5.1 update.
Friend help me please. I bought x touch, but I'm having trouble using it, without your script. I watched your video long before I bought the x touch and I didn't understand why the controls didn't work like yours. It was only today that I saw that you created your own script. I was very happy for you to make it available for free. Unfortunately, the link is broken. could you send it again?
So nice what you did for all SO/Xtouch users like me :) Thank you so much. I just wonder how you did to program them? Only things I can change are "F" buttons. No way to program the others :(. Could you please let me kno how you did or send me a link of a video which can teach me that? I also wonder how use the clic of clicable buttons to send messages to my instruments. Please save me !!!! One more time, nice job and nice vidéos ;)
You can generally control up to 8 parameters at a time in a plugin so for channel strips that's the max (unfortunately) Trust me, I've been losing my mind this latest months thinking about a better way to control stuff 🤣 I even bouth a touch monitor (no good for me) About the ff proq3 i don't remember if, since you asked "all parameters", you could just map rotaries 1,2 and 3 to Freq/res/gain and then select the points you wanna control and use the same 3 rotaries to control them I'll try asap and let you know but for the others, yeah. 8 parameters max
@@soundrocketstudios and...if you go here th-cam.com/video/YyXdWgKOEEQ/w-d-xo.html (1'40" sec) you can check out what I mean and how it should works (with arrows to choose the freq)
I know that feel bro 😩 I would really love to control everything I need at the same time but please, beware of looking at other daws if you're using s1. The problem is NOT completely a fault of the x touch. So much that in ableton i can do that (in ableton I can use two buttons on top to go to the next series of parameters. That's surely not the same but a bit better) The problem is how s1 implements mackie communications
Not even the faderport 16 has the possibility to "go to the next bank of parameters". You can control 16 faders+16 buttons at a time, for plugin. And... That's it. So this thing about "more control" is an s1 problem unfortunately
....I'm so sorry, this is a small problem I found but haven't yet understood why it happens and.....I completely forgot to mention it in the video Here's the solution ;) To have super smooth faders (noticable only with fast sutomations, things I never do and that's why I forgot) you have to interpolate the data sent to the x touch. Here's the video with the app that does that. I HAVEN'T TRIED YET but you probably just install it, run it and that's it so...no big deal ;) th-cam.com/video/DtFwmEwhUHo/w-d-xo.html Real sorry for forgetting to mention the app in the video!
@@soundrocketstudios I'm trying to get the loopmidi working in studio one 4, but I'm having difficulties. could you write out clearer instructions please? I'd be very grateful. My email is mwright2899@gmail.com
No absolutely! 😊 Those work in whatever encoder mode you're in. Actually the encoders are the only thing changed when you select a different encoder mode
@@soundrocketstudios I've noticed you were switching back to pan mode whenever you had to select a track so I assume that's just for the visual convenience of seeing it on display thanks for rep
Yeah, it's just to check the name of the channels again BUT, since actually there's two rows of text, I found a button that puts the mode you're in in the upper row and the name of the channels in the lower row (so that you don't have to switch that mode off again) which is super cool! Don't remember which though lol 😅 Will check asap
Would like to try something like that too. I think it would be useful to control plugins but the idea of that many knobs doest fit in my workflow, I think Currently looking at some more analog stuff now
Hi Nyroh, Excellent video! I use Studio One 4 and have X-Touch ordered, should be with me soon. Could you send me your mods, as the link above isn't working? Many thanks
Hi. I have Studio One. Could you send me the script to configure my Studio One as yours with the Behringer controller? How would I have to install it? Thank you!
Hey! Absolutely, just give me a couple of days because I'm currently out of town. As soon as I'll get back home I'll send it to you and explain how to install it 👍🏻
Hey José, here I am! Sorry for the delay. I added the download link for the mod and the explenation on how to install it in the description of the video (:
I don't have any extender so I actually don't know.... Here's an explenation I found 1) Click Add and choose Mackie Control for the x-Touch. Under Receive From and Send To choose X-Touch INT. Click OK. 2) Click Add and choose Mackie Control Extender for the x-Touch extender. Under Receive From and Sent To choose X-Touch-ExtX-T.._INT. Click OK. 3) Click Placement. Now drag the Extender into Group 1 first then drag the Control into Group 1. Click Close then OK. This will put channels 1-8 on the extender and 9-16 on the x-Touch. 4) If a session is open, close it and open again. The track names and faders should come up on both devices.
HERE'S HOW TO "INSTALL" THE MAPPING Just replace the old MackieControl.surface file with the new one! Go to Program Files> Presonus> Studio One x> devices> Mackie> Control and move there my new mapping sobstituing the old one BE CAREFULL to copy paste the old one somewhere else in case you want to go back to it ;) www.dropbox.com/s/csocisdybdhg839/MackieControl.surface.xml?dl=0
I use Waveform DAW and I'm trying to do something like this with my X Touch. Can X-Touch controls be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in any Mackie Protocol DAW like Waveform? If so, how would I get started? There is no documentation I can find on user defined keys/functions on the Behringer website. What am I missing?
Hey! I don't have any experience with Waveform and heared some problems with trying to connect a faderport 8 to it in mackie mode so sorry to say but I can't confirm Try going to the Control Surfaces tab, in settings, select the Mackie Control Universal, and set the input, and possibly output devices to your x-touch. Since the x touch itself doesn't need any installation, if Waveform works with mackie control protocol it should work with ease. If it doesn't (let me repeat as I said in the review video) it's not behringer's fault but a problem with the DAW Let me know if it works 👍
@@soundrocketstudios Thanks so much for your reply. Tech support agrees that in Waveform the Xtouch is really only good for volume faders and pan pots, as well as the transport controls. The user assignable keys are not actually user assignable because Waveform doesn't have a control surface editor in its software. Interesting and annoying. So now if I want to use the Xtouch as it was designed, I'm in for a new DAW, and that's not going to happen anytime soon. But, in your opinion, what DAW would be most compatible with the Xtouch? Thanks again.
The ABSOLUTE best if u plan to use the x touch for your near future are cubase and logic. You'll have a better point of view on how it generally works with the different major daws by watching my review but in any case, Cubase and logic, no doubts. It works 100% as intended with them. Anyway if I can give you a lil tip, I feel like it's ALWAYS better to search for a daw and then for a control surface and not the other way. I wanted to use logic myself with the x touch but decided to jump 100% on s1 since for me (for mixing) it's really what I was looking for. It's A LOT less trouble to change your control surface than your daw and the more time u spend with one, the more you learn from it Let me know if u decide anything and give s1 a try! 😉😉👋🏻
A very good introduction to X-Touch! :-) Behringer should hire you right away.
You're too kind! 🙏🏻
Thank you!
In case nobody mentioned it The Global view and User view can be totally different. If you open the mix window and look near the bottom left click on the channel list button if it's not already open and look to the right of that and you will see "Remote". CLick on remote and trun on or off what you want to have available on your xtender. Then you can make a user defined layer or fader layout that's different from the global view. Pretty cool. I have an Xtouch and an Xtouch extender both being able to have different set ups. For example by xtouch extender is set to only view my 8 mix busses. That way I always have those faders available to me regardless if I am changing banks on my Xtouch.
Oh yeah. By the way. I checked out all of your videos on this subject and they were great. Appreciate the attention to detail and sharing your mapping.
This is the most complete video about X-Touch and SO4! Thank you very much, it was great to watch this!
Ho, and thanks so much for the script!!!! It's more than welcome!!!!
Thank you for these kind comments!! Glad u like the videos and that the script worked for you too! 😁
I may try to improve it a bit more in the future. If I get anything better then this, I'll let u know it
@@soundrocketstudios I've adapted a bit your script (a workflow is always very personal :) ) but I kept most of your great ideas! I've an iPad so I use TouchOSC as a companion surface for the most importants commands in addition to the X-Touch (as you can see here (bottom left): www.dropbox.com/s/babbpac3r5k95q3/IMG_4734.JPG?dl=0 ) and as you could see I have dual screen so for ex. no need the scrub button to switch to the Console view (who's great for single screen, I agree !!!) but I coud'n assign the scrub button to something else... I don't know why... (although I could make other changes on other buttons ...)
Nyroh I did a template as you can see here: www.dropbox.com/s/85wkmbaxk9qfdc2/IMG_4746.JPG?dl=0 (it was not the final version on the picture). Tell me if you want a copy (no no no I said nothing about your adhesive paper tape 😇)
@@HeCtOfLeX Brooo thats super cool
Well if you could send me it when finished that would be amazing haha 👍🙌
As a Logic user I think this tutorial is brilliant. Showed me the true potential of the X Touch, thanks. Btw - the jog wheel 'should' scroll much slower when holding the button to the right hand side of it.
Thank you! Appreciate it and thanks for the jog wheel tip, I'll try it out ;)
@tanza: thanks for the hint but I guess this works in Logic but not in S1. The X-Touch support seems to be more complete in Logic. Please can you check in your Logic installation if there is a file like MackieControl.support.xml also to check how it was implemented in Logic? Maybe we can get some ideas for S1 configuration as well.
Thanks a lot!
So comprehensive. I’ve got so much to learn. Thanks for the great video.
Hi, Nyroh! I have done some experiments with your mapping file and I discovered that you can assign at least two different actions to one button. Its great and it opens more possibilities and an easier workflow. I hope it helps. Thank you
Hey wikiyo! Thank you for sharing 🥳
Do u mean that you could Mapp different functions and make them happen at the same time pressing one button only?
Thank you again!
Cheers 🎹

@@soundrocketstudios now the buttons that are next to global view can show faders on the X touch (for example vca) and also it shows me a scene with only the vca channels on the screen... Im not sure if I explained good... It was a discover I did yesterday and I Want to try more combinations. I remembered that yor mapping helped me a lot and I wanted to tell you my discovery ás soon ás I can. We Are in touch. Thanks
@@soundrocketstudios Sorry I was typping on my mobile so I was difficult. I discovered this yesterday. Now in Studio One 5 I can create scenes for audio tracks, busses, fx, vca and make that the buttons that make xtocuh faders chow audio or vca or whatevers scene, also show me those faders on th screen. I think it will be a good idea to try to implement this to chaging banks and maybe theres is no need to use two buttons. I have to do more investigation, but I think that, maybe, shift, control, alt buttons can affect any button....so you can have more button layers with more than one function per button!!!! I hope it works. I will try tonight. Thanks again!
Thank you again for sharing!
Will test as soon as I get Studio One 5
Cheers 🎹

@@soundrocketstudios Hey! InStudio One 4 you can use fader bank button controlling teh change of the bank in the X Touch and also in the screen (You will only need one button!!!!!)
Great work Nyroh!! I wasn't able to download the mapping from the drop box :(
Thanks for the mapping! How do I map F3 and F4 to Page Up Skip and Page Down Skip for switching between plugins? At the moment F3 and F4 seem to do nothing.
Thanks for such a comprehensive video! Some questions:
- Can the plugin controls also be flipped from the encoders to the faders?
- Can the faders also work as MIDI CC for controlling plugins? Does this require a reboot and change of modes, or can I record in automation and then move back to the big picture?
Yes to the first one. You can flip encoders and faders in every moment and in every mode.
Unfortunately no for the second one. It's not a free mappable midi controller I mean....the faders are "internally mapped" as part of the control surface so they can't be mapped as wished
You probably can do that with the x-touch compact
I'm 99% sure on the second one but I'll check asap to give u a 100% 😁
Just finished watching your video on the Studio One and by the way thanks again for the link to your mapping. I noticed on your video about Ableton, you had no mapping that you did for Ableton. I am anxious to get one of these because I use both Ableton and Studio One, so I can use it for both. Is it easy to change the mapping from one to the other? How do you do that?
Thanks in advance for your help. As soon as I can afford, I am going to get one. Maybe then, I have more questions. Best video out there on this machine! Thanks again.
Great info! thank you very much. One question, How do you assign that "Select button" to every channel of your bank? I need to do assign the select button to the first of the bank, the second etc etc. Into the xml I didnt fins nothing about that. Did you do something in the JS file maybe?
Great video!! It definitely made me choose the Behringer.
Hi, great video - would it be possible to repair the link HERE'S HOW TO "INSTALL" THE MAPPING ? Appreciated
Great video, but how do you map the none function buttons?
On the Mac, you go to your apps folder, right click on Studio One, and choose Show Package Contents.... Then you'll see the folders you need. The XML file is in Applications / StudioOne / Contents / devices / Mackie / Control (Give or take... depending on your version number....)
Hi! please, update link to download config file - it seems, that in this version, bindings to F3-F4 not written
How about compare it with Faderport 8 for S1 user daw ?
For xtouch is it plug n play ?
How do you know what to edit in the script? And is it possible to link 2 buttons at all? For example fader banking and the function keys you've set up to bank in the mixer window so that it does it automatically? (I will point out I have no idea about coding etc)
if i have extenders will this apply to them as well. example...if i bank and open plug ins as you have mapped will it show up on the extender part and follow along? i'd imagine it would as they don't have a control section, but wanted to ask. thanks for sharing the script and keeping it up and available! also will this work on mac?
Thanks for such a detailed and nicely explained video. I'm thinking of getting the X-touch for controlling the MIDI CCs on my kontakt sample libraries. Is it possible to do so with X-touch....i.e. control MIDI CC values with the faders? Please let me know and thanks again for such a crystal clear walkthrugh of the entire controller
Hey Agrawal, sorry but I really haven't tried and kontakt is such a difficult system to control that I really can't say
If I get the chanche to test it, I'll let you know
@@soundrocketstudios Nevermind.
Is it possible to show how you midi map the behringer x-touch. Love your video!
I have an odd question. I have a Soundcraft Sig22MTK mixer that I use as an interface to my Mac. I also use both Ableton and Studio One 5 for my DAWs. I am wondering if I take the feed from my USB out of the Sig22MTK into the X-Touch and then go from there to my Mac, will I be able to use the motorized faders on the X-Touch and all of the other features to record live into either Ableton or Studio One? I realize that this unit is well suited for post production, and that is how I would mostly use it, but I was just wondering. My Soundcraft does not have motorized faders, and this would be cool. Thanks in advance for any help with this.
If i got your question, you'd like to use the USB (audio interface) features of your 22mtk connecting it to the x touch. It could definitely work 😊 (just tried with my Id44 using the x touch as a bridge, just as explained up here)
I usually don't do this because of probable increased latency/another step between computer and monitors and so another step for cables (even if we're talking about a digital signal since it's usb) bla bla...
BUT the answer is yes you could definitely do it 😊
Cheers 🎹
@Nyroh First of all, AMAZING!
Second: One of the Dropbox Links isn't working. Can you please re-link it, I'm dying to try this.
Third: How are you actually changing the functions? Is this something we can do? Where do I learn???
Nice job!!! I have an X-Touch compact. May I use the same mapping? Thanks
Thanks so much for this mate! Buying one now
Glad you liked it! It's a great controller, worth its (amazing) price ;)
Hi Nyroh, Your work is amazing! I just downloaded your modified mapping but still F3 and F4 (and maybe some others) are missing. Is there any chance that you upload a new map? Maybe you can also do a tutorial of how we can do our own mapping?
I just got these working myself, so in case you haven't figured it out by now, or for the benefit of anyone else ... If you find where the F3 and F4 are missing in the XML file, it should read Command control="F3" command.category="Navigation" command.name="Page Up Skip" and Command control="F4" command.category="Navigation" command.name="Page Down Skip" ... Basically, anything that is listed in the keyboard shortcuts menu option, you use the category name and the command name.
dude thanks so much for doing this!
Glad u guys like this! 👍
Hi, Nyroh! Need your help!!
I work in the NI Kontakt sampler with orchestral libraries from Spitfire, Cinematic Studio and VST synthesizers of orchestral instruments
from SWAM. To work, you need to control the parameters of dynamic automation (Volume, Expression, Vibrato, etc.). I am considering buying a Behringer X-Touch midi controller because it has motorized faders. This is what is required in my work.
On the forum of the Presonus website, I did not find an answer to my question.
Please help me. For convenience, I will state my questions on the points:
1. Is it possible to bind X-Touch faders to the Volume, Expression, Vibrato parameters in each NI Kontakt orchestral library
so that they are permanently stored in memory for permanent use?
2. I will be happy if point 1 is possible! We will need your help to understand how to configure this in Studio One:)
3. If point 1 and 2 are possible, will the X-Touch motorized fiders automatically be attracted to the already recorded
dynamic automation settings?
Thank you in advance! I really hope for your help!!!
Can you show how encoders and led screens works with vst instruments for selected channel. from what im seeing right now its most powerfull daw controller on market.
As I said, you can control up to 8 parameters at a time, not more then 8 without modifying the script
You can find it in the video. You just have to open up the plugin, go into plugin mode and all the parameters mapped appear on the 8 scribble strips, with everything controllable by parameters or faders (with flip engaged)
@@soundrocketstudios so synth params labels shows on lcd display without problems, its super
@@Kv8-lll Yeah, absolutely, but not more than 8. If that's ok for you, you're good to go 😎
Great video. I am evaluating the X-Touch vs the Presonus Faderport8. curious if you also looked at the Faderport products? I had the X-Touch for a few weeks, and just returned it to look at the Faderport8, but based on your video, might re-visit the X-Touch. I like the fact the X-Touch has a couple of USB ports, 3 footswitch pedals, channel level LEDs, larger jog wheel and knobs on each channel, so you can adjust multi channels panning at the same time easier than with one knob on the Faderport. I found your video very helpful, given it is hard to find decent documentation on the X-Touch, except for Studio One review of Mackie Control parameters. cheers Dave from Toronto Canada
Thank you for the kind words and sorry the actual review wasn't made better lol 😅 Got few dislikes for showing too much of my face. Will remember next time 4 sure.
About the fp8 Yes indeed! I looked at the faderport and wanted to get it first but after seeing it and touching it I decided not ot go for it...
Not a well made dontroller for real (like... I'm talking about the controller itself). The only thing that could make me get the fp 16 (not the 8) is the 16 faders plugin control but apart from it (and maybe the colored buttons) there's nothing that I liked on the fp8 enough to get it
I hoped that on this namm presonus would show a new one but seems like we still have to wait!
To know some more, here's a new full review for it if you're interested
th-cam.com/video/3wtmm8vmWLg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Nyroh...thx for your walktrough and mods...apparently other people also discovered that in your downloadable mapping the F3/F4 function isn't available...is there a possibility that i can get a downloadlink where this is fixed? I would love to have this feature.....I would do t myself if i had any clue how to....I'm just a bass player (that schould say enough :-P )
Hi Nyroh
Did I miss it or is there no record arm for each track? Thanks
So you can't use the faders to control the plugin parameters the way you can with Presonus Faderports?
Yes you can, you just have to set the parameters on the rotaries first and then switch faders/rotaries to use them on the faders
BUT you can't map both rotaries and faders at the same time
yes you can... there is a mapping on the presonus forums that allows the encoders and faders to be pageable 8 times.. thats 64 encoder assignments and 64 fader assignments when in plugin mode..
USER BUTTON also works - you just have to choose channels which you want to assign to user button and then you can have for example 2 audio channels 3 midi channels and 4 buses instead of only audio, auxes or buses channels
But how do you assign this channels?
Hey man, just curious if this will work with Studio One 5?
Of course!
Wow love this video really great I love when I have things under control ..
I’m waiting for mine .. do you think I can customize it this way on Cakewalk Sonar ?!
I think the right answer should be "I don't know" but I really wanna say yes, absolutely. You'll have to change the xlm file again, this time writing different things probably but it should work perfectly
Thank you btw! :D
Have a nice day full of music
I moved from SONAR to Studio One 18 months ago. And am very happy with one big exception. Studio One's implementation of the Mackie Control protocol is really poor in comparison. You will be able to do so much more with this control surface in SONAR. You saw in this video how he showed several buttons that do nothing. This is really poor from Presonus. He skirted past the Modifier buttons in this video (Control, Shift, Alt, etc). In SONAR these give you access to probably another 40 or 50 functions. Presonus barely even acknowledges their existence. So the short answer is Yes, you will have a great experience with the X Touch in SONAR. For example he showed that he could not change the resolution of the Jog Wheel. In SONAR you can choose to scroll by bar, beat or frame by holding down these buttons when scrolling. That is just one of dozens of examples I could mention.
Is it possible to enable / disable the 'Control' button with the push of a button (the button which enables you to see the plugin parameters assigned to the console channels) ?
Hi!
One thing that I can't find the answer to. How do I switch from mixer (X-Air Edit) to DAW controller? I saw it in one video, but that time I didn't have my X-touch yet.... Thanks!
Great review! I was wondering, in SO4 if you were to say select track 16 in the DAW using the mouse when the XTouch is displaying track 1-8, would the XTouch update and display track 9-16 or do I have to change bank on the XTouch? In other words, does the XTouch follow the DAW completely when selecting tracks?
Hey thank you for commenting! No, unfortunately it doesn't follow what's on screen
But you can map buttons as I did and press them if needed, or use the standard move bank/fader buttons, already present on the x touch
Cheers
@@soundrocketstudios thanks for the reply! That's to bad, I just have to get used to switching banks. :)
@@herrjingjing The other way around is that you can move what you have on focus on your monitor using what I created as a mapping. And I'm pretty sure the touch on the fader can be mapped to go directly to that channel, but still not sure if it can be done TO move the x touch on what you're seeing on screen
Great video! How can I change a few mappings for my needs? Can anyone please point me to instructions on how this programming can be done???
Great video. Do you happen to know how to remap the foot switch from play/pause to rec/pause?
Damn that's a great question!
I actually don't know BUT I think that, since it's converting the pedal signal to midi and then to usb anyway (so a normal analog-digital conversion), if u insert your pedal in the x touch and try to map something, you should be able to map that
I'll try asap
Hey, very detailed description. I still have some questions:
- is it 10 or 7bit faders?
- can you scroll the arrangement view horizontally (like with shift+mouse wheel)?
- how did you do the reprogramming?
- is the big encoder only usable for moving the cursor or could it also be reprogrammed (to work as a horizontal scroll wheel)?
Hey man sorry for the delay, I'll answer you tomorrow asap! Promised 🙏🏻
Ok here I am! I have some answers:
1) the x touch compact has 7 bit faders and I can't find anything about the x touch but feel like it's 7 bit too. Really can't find an answer. I'll look some more though!
2) no you can't scrool the arrangement horizontally without moving the cursor.
What I didn with the reprogramming is not that difficult, and can surely be done by anyone and to answer more easily your question, here's what you can do: open up the original script and the new one. You'll find the few mods instantly (they're like 5 or 10) and understand how it works ;)
I'm not saying this ABSOLUTELY because I don't wanna explain it to you, I'll make a video about it one day for sure. I really don't remember how I did that and can't check now (I'm graduating in the next three weeks and I'm super incredibly busy and full of things to write and do! Teally sorry!) 🤣
Hope this helps anyway 🙏
@@soundrocketstudios Thank you! Haven't found anything about the fader's resolution either.
Horizontal scrolling is (for me) the most used function in production and I can't understand that noone feels the same. I always have to use the mouse there while a big knob stares at me saying: sorry.
What are you graduating in? I want to build a piece of hardware that does the job of horizontal scrolling (and some extra functions). Would you be interested in such or are you saying, this is not what I really need?
Good luck for your exam anyways
@@sebastianteister Graduating in chemistry! Not really a musical thing hehe. I'm two in one body but the music guy is more prominent then the lil chemist lol
I like the idea of horizontal scrolling but sincerely haven't ever used it. I eventually always did it with zomming in/out and moving the cursor and since I do mostly mixing and work with markers, after editing I don't look much at the arrangement 🤔
Will try to implement it and tell you how I feel asap! Thank you for letting me know about this!!!
@@soundrocketstudios You always have to scroll horizontally in DAWs imo. When editing parts/patterns, when working at the arrangement, when working in the console/mixer and have more channels than fit on the screen.
Only option (in S1) is Shift+MouseWheel or dragging the top/bottom scrollbars.
For me it's absolutely natural, after having done some editing (either arrangement or part) to scroll to the next point of interest while the song/part is playing.
To move the locator/cursor with the knob - it's same with the Faderport btw - is absolutely useless in that scenario as the song locator is captured while playing.
I want to HEAR if my last edit is ok while already working on the next spot.
This is a major flaw with all DAWs I tested, S1, Live, Cubase.
Especially S1 can't scroll the viewport but only does page flipping. Arrangement as well as Part editing. You can't look (and thus think) ahead because you don't see what comes next when the locator is at the viewports end. You have to grab the mouse and pull the scrollbar. I hate that so much.
Hi Nyroh,
great video :-). I bought a X-Touch a few days ago and I start tweaking around with the MackieControl.surface.xml. It seems to be possible to map multiple commands when specific button is pressed. However, I add the commands for changing the view of the banks which is assigned to F1 and F2 in your customized xml to the button fader bank left and right. Each time I press fader bank left will now switch 8 channels to the left and also the vie in S1 and when I click the fader bank right it switch 8 channels to the right and also in S1. Great :-).
I'm still trying to find a solution to map the input gain from S1 to the volume pot for each channel instead of changing the volume of the channel itself. Do you have an idea how to tweak the configuration like follows?
When specific channel is selected, the upper pot should control pan as it is and when going to flip mode it should change the input gain of the specific channel and not the volume of the channel (as it is by default) fader should still control volume of channel :-). Maybe there is some tweaking necessary in the MackieShared file somehow but I got no clue :-).
Have you found any useful documentation about the tweaking the configuration files?
Thanks a lot!
BTW: it seems that the Logic Pro implementation has more features. Therfore, is there also a xml File which can be checked how the implementation was made to transfer some parts to the configuration file of S1?
Hey @@PhatNoizeRecords, thank you!
Answer to the first question: sorry but I really don't know how to do it. It would be too much of a hustle I think... you would need to create something like a general "modifier"/layer. Giving the possibility to use faders or pots to control something like the input gains (which is a specific parameter present in every channel) is more of a thing like "go into pan mode" or "go into sends mode", with the upper buttons and applies to all the other controls of the x-touch. Don't know how to do it, sorry!
I'm also not on mac so don't know if logic uses something like a similar xml file to read the x touch mappings
@@soundrocketstudios thanks for your Feedback. I'll try to find a solution for that and I'll let you know :-).
@@soundrocketstudios Did you also check X-Touch Extender in S1 or do you now someone who uses extended X-Touch to get feedback if it also works. Like switching view 16 tracks forward in the View on one click?
Many thanks :-)
@@PhatNoizeRecords I'm pretty sure it works!! It's mackie so there should be absolutely no problem
is there any way to set fader banks to move 16 channels instead of just 8 (i have x-touch plus extender)? thanks
Hi Nyroh, great video as always, however I do have a problem with my X-Touch and Studio One 4.6.1, which is... X-Touch does not work at all, however it works perfectly with my other DAW, Cubase LE 10.5.12. I did not see this refered on any of your videos so I'll ask a maybe dumb question... How to setup X-Touch in Studio One? Thanks. Cheers, PauloF
Congratulations you explain very well
Hey bro is there a way for me to add onto the Mackie Control File Within my X Touch Compact. I see there are several buttons that have not been assigned and I can add them in for studio one: I download med the editor software but The Mackie Control seems to not be editable. Please advise
Hi Nayroh, congratulations on the video. Please, how do I make the TRACK, PAN / SURROUND, EQ, SEND, PLUG-IN and INST buttons active? thanks
Hey, thank you for commenting
What do you mean with "active?
Does this modified XML work properly with X-touch Extender as well???
Hi Nyroh, Thank you for the videos. Can I ask do you run Mac or Pc? I had my x-touch running perfect into studio one on my mac using mackie protocol and usb. I recently built a Pc, and cannot get this hooked up to studio one on Windows 10. The x-touch shows up as a non-compatible device and will not work. Not even Brian at Obedia/PcAudio Labs could explain it. We unsuccessfully looked for drivers from behringer and he's supposed to be consulting his contact about it but I haven't heard back. I was wondering if you had any ideas? I cant be the only x-touch windows user
Nvm! I got it working through rtp midi! I think I might try your mapping though! Your getting alot more out out the x-touch than just mc
Hey Nyroh, thanks for the video! I have one question tho. The 4 'modify' buttons dont work on my X Touch, not with the original script or with yours. Is there any way to get them working?
Hey @Nyroh thank you for sharing your presets, does it work with Xtouch + Extender??? And what are the differences between Qmap2 and your pack please ?
Hey sorry for the delay! No, it doesn’t work with the extender and I just searched but don’t know what qmap2 is 🤔 did to find your answer? Thank you for commenting and sorry again for the delay!
@@soundrocketstudios QMAP is an application that someone named Matt from Modern Idiots created that maps the XTOUCH to various DAWs including Studio One.. He implemented as much functionality into the xtouch as the faderport has for studio one.. I started to purchase it form him but he wouldnt sell to me because he was short on supplies (for the overlay).. In retrospect, i could have made my own overlay but thats all moot now... The seller's website has been down for a while now and i don't know a way outside of his domain to contact him. But all is well since i was able to make your script do what i want it to do for the most part.. Thanks for your work!!
Hey Nyroh, Where are the studio one mapping file now? The dropbox link is no longer valid.
feature filled clip that just makes life easier...
Well I finally was able to check out your script and make it work. Excellent! I have it working on my PC but when I went to look for this fix to be able to run on my Mac I've had no luck. I've spent hours searching the web and my computer files to see where the heck anything mackie control xml is hiding. I am about to give up. :(
Does anyone know how to get this to work using it on a Mac?
Great work! Thanks. The only thing I can't get to work is the scroll through plug-ins using F3 and F4. F5 brings up the first plug in, and then F3 and F4 do nothing! Weird.
Thank you! If you're using my mapping that's a bit strange but if not, the f buttons are actually not premapped (usually)
So you'll have to map. The two things u wanna map are "Page Skip Up" and "Page Skip Down" 💪🏻💪🏻
Search for them and you'll get everything to work
Ciao, sto pensando di prendere l'X-touch compact invece del faderport 8 (che è proprio bello, ma costoso), quindi mi chiedo, l'X touch è al 100% è compatibile con Studio One 4? Grazie in anticipo :)
Ciao! X touch compact purtroppo, a parte le funzioni base simili, funziona in modo piuttosto diverso dall'x touch quindi non so dirti se sia buono o no... Sicuramente è compatibile, ti consiglio di cercare qualche confronto. Nel caso comunque il tuo range sia intorno ai 300 (x touch compact costa da noi 250-300), nel caso ti piaccia il format degli x touch ti consiglio vivamente di estenderlo di poco e prendere quello normale che è ben più avanzato del compact, anche avendo gli scribble strip (e nel caso ti servisse avresti anche questo script)
Nel caso invece ti piaccia davvero il faderport 8 (guardarne uno dal vivo che è più piccolo di quanto sembri... Io non l'ho trovato molto ergonomico dal vivo) e non ti servisse subito, potresti attendere e vedere se ne esca uno nuovo a breve (febbraio 2017 è uscito il primo, febbraio 2018 il 16 quindi forse febbraio 2019 uscirà qualcosa ma non fidarti di me, non ne sono certo) 🤣
Mi spiace ma più di così non so dirti!
Buona musica 🎹

Hey Nyroh! I am truly racking my brain trying to figure out how to install this mapping! Any help is GREATLY appreciated! I've got a Mac (as it looks like you do as well!) and I can't seem to locate the Program Files folder. The directions are Program Files - Presonus - Studio One X - devices - Mackie - Control, but I've tried searching my Mac for a Program Files folder and can't find one at all! I have no earthly clue how to install and run this xml file lol.

Great Video my friend
I understand how to edit the Function buttons , but can you tell me how to edit the rest of the buttons like the scrub or the marker buttons??? please!!!
Where does 0 DB show up in the mixer. And I know studio one has a max of 6 db I think and the behringer has max of 10, how does that work.
HI! thinking about getting this for studio one as well, may I know how many banks can you have?
Hey that's great 😁 I'm still using mine today and works really great as shown in the video
If you mean the banks between which you can move using the fader bank buttons, there's no limit. It depends on how many tracks you have in studio one 👌🏻
Hey, anyone facing noisey faders when they move fast? When i try to create a wave, just for.fun they make a lot of noise going up but are very quite while coming down. It is very strange, can someone help me?

I mainly produce under live 10, but mix on PSO4. .. I really have a problem for controlling all my plugins in Studio One except to remap them one by one, another suggestion?
No, unfortunately there's no other way than mapping every plugin one by one
No automap! 😔
@@soundrocketstudios Argh! Too bad! Thanks for that Nyroh and good continuation, love your video!
Great mapping! It works almost perfect! My metronome click gets activated every time I use the global mute though, how can I get around that? Now I need to disable the click with the mouse or keyboard.
Unfortunately I never used the global mute that much and kinda found that problem only recently!

A bit confused by the XML file you linked to. It changes the definition for buttons F1, F2 and F5 but simply _removes_ definitions for F3, F4, F6, F7 and F8. Did you link to the wrong file or am I missing something?
I really wanted the ability to open the channel editor and step backwards and forwards through plugins. Turns out there's a workaround. By default, F7 pops up the first plugin. Then, when open, you can scroll through plugins by holding Option down and using FaderBank Left/Right buttons. Also, you can scroll through the presets for a plugin by holding Option and using Channel Left/Right buttons. I haven't seen the Option modifier documented anywhere, but I spotted it in the the original XML file while trying to figure out why the F-key mappings weren't working.
It shouldn't "remove" the possibilty to map the F buttons though! You can still map them however you want, you just need to map them in the project you're working on how you wish to use them that time or create a template and save the F mappings you prefer ;)
@@soundrocketstudios Yes, that's true. But in your video you specifically mention that your template reassigns the function buttons. However, these reassignments are not in the linked file and that may be very confusing to folks who download it and discover it doesn't match your description.
@@stevenhirsch7988 Oh!! D:
I'll check asap, I actually had problems with the latest s1 update and it completely removed my mapping but thought that it was because I just had to reinsert it in the usual folder but....I may have to change something! I'll check asap
Thank you!!!
Here I am. Are you on mac or windows? Because I just reinstalled the mapping (you just have to drop it in the right folder) and it works as explained in the video :/ (I'm on Windows)
Hello, will your script work with “The Compact Behringer Touch”?
I unfortunately don't think it will! That's because they probably have different signals for every different button. If I remember well the compact is anyway more mappable than this big one
Nyroh is there a way for you to show me how to map it do everything like EQ, VST Instruments, and everything else I need for tracking and mixing sufficiently?
Nyroh or do you think I should just get the Presonus Fader 8 or 16?
@@BobbyWashingtonvlog Mapping in studio one works the same with every controller: once the plugin is up you have to turn the plugin mapping into focus (and not global), then select the parameter you want to control and turn the (in your case with the eventual x touch compact) rotary you want to use. Using "Focus" mode, the mapping stays the same for every same plugin you have in every project
@@BobbyWashingtonvlog That's a thuff question... I relly like how my x touch works (even if IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I kinda got an incredible computer keyboard mapping and I'm using my x touch less). As I said in the past, the only things that to me are better in the faderports are: better control of sends (even if...let's be clear, how many times during your project you change your send amout?) and the channel strip colors. With the faderport 16 you'll get 16 faders with which you could control your plugins AND control pages (you could control 32 parameters of a specific plugin (maybe more?)).
But you'll have super worst faders (closer together, worst feel (tested them one against the other)), no pan pots, closer and more rubbery buttons, worst jog...
That's just too much of a tuff question for me lol
I've been thinking about it so many times and it's been something like two years that I've been waiting for presonus to make a controller with pan pots, better faders, better controller frame and color scribble strips. But I guess I'll have to wait all my life for something like that
This is great for stock plugins, i normally use other plugins, Acustica Audio mainly and some waves stuff, couldn't get them to work. Any workaround ?
It should be needed absolutely no workaround. I use many third party vsts too. For which part of the mapping are you having problems?
Under your function keys I see how to open and close plug ins but how do you assign the forward and back button. What are they called in Studio One. Or what heading are they under. thx
Another question, will your modified .xml file work for a Mac? I would love to know how to make it work for me on that platform, thanks again for the great review,
@@Steviee8 Sorry for not answering before
Strangely the only way to move to another plugin in the plugin view is the Page Skip Up and Page Skip Down functions. Don't really remember where to find them but knowing the names I hope you can find them
The mapping shouls absolutely work on mac too!
Have a nice day!
Nyroh I found it. Thanks. And no problem with the long time. I’ve been messing with it for some time now and found out what the buttons do that we thought didn’t do anything. Inst. opens up that midi instrument only if you have selected that channel that has a midi instrument.
I seem to the other button to the left of the time display seems to open your channel view on the scribble script. So that you can always see what channel you are on since sometimes when not in Pan mode you’ll be able to see the name of those channels.
Thx again
@@Steviee8 that's great man! Glad you found it. Unfortunately there's no other way apart from this skip page up/down (yet). And thank you for the othe info, I'll give them a try tomorrow asap

Friend help me please. I bought x touch, but I'm having trouble using it, without your script. I watched your video long before I bought the x touch and I didn't understand why the controls didn't work like yours. It was only today that I saw that you created your own script. I was very happy for you to make it available for free. Unfortunately, the link is broken. could you send it again?
So nice what you did for all SO/Xtouch users like me :) Thank you so much. I just wonder how you did to program them? Only things I can change are "F" buttons. No way to program the others :(. Could you please let me kno how you did or send me a link of a video which can teach me that? I also wonder how use the clic of clicable buttons to send messages to my instruments. Please save me !!!! One more time, nice job and nice vidéos ;)
Hey mate just to know... can you control/change all parameters of an eq for example ff pro eq3 or ssl channel strip?
You can generally control up to 8 parameters at a time in a plugin so for channel strips that's the max (unfortunately)
Trust me, I've been losing my mind this latest months thinking about a better way to control stuff 🤣 I even bouth a touch monitor (no good for me)
About the ff proq3 i don't remember if, since you asked "all parameters", you could just map rotaries 1,2 and 3 to Freq/res/gain and then select the points you wanna control and use the same 3 rotaries to control them
I'll try asap and let you know but for the others, yeah. 8 parameters max
@@soundrocketstudios and that's the only reason that stop me to buy it. I'm looking for a controller for it, controlling everything not a part only
@@soundrocketstudios and...if you go here th-cam.com/video/YyXdWgKOEEQ/w-d-xo.html (1'40" sec) you can check out what I mean and how it should works (with arrows to choose the freq)
I know that feel bro 😩
I would really love to control everything I need at the same time but please, beware of looking at other daws if you're using s1. The problem is NOT completely a fault of the x touch. So much that in ableton i can do that (in ableton I can use two buttons on top to go to the next series of parameters. That's surely not the same but a bit better)
The problem is how s1 implements mackie communications
Not even the faderport 16 has the possibility to "go to the next bank of parameters". You can control 16 faders+16 buttons at a time, for plugin. And... That's it. So this thing about "more control" is an s1 problem unfortunately
Why are my faders jittery during slow automation clips? Is this a problem in X-Touch or Studio One?
....I'm so sorry, this is a small problem I found but haven't yet understood why it happens and.....I completely forgot to mention it in the video
Here's the solution ;)
To have super smooth faders (noticable only with fast sutomations, things I never do and that's why I forgot) you have to interpolate the data sent to the x touch. Here's the video with the app that does that. I HAVEN'T TRIED YET but you probably just install it, run it and that's it so...no big deal ;)

7 bit! Haven't found it a problem though
I cannot access links either
Is your script also working for the x-touch extender if I add that?
Should absolutely work fine! You're changing only things that are not on the extender so should have other input and output messages
@@soundrocketstudios Thnx man!
So the select track buttons will work only when the pan encoder mode is engaged?
No absolutely! 😊
Those work in whatever encoder mode you're in. Actually the encoders are the only thing changed when you select a different encoder mode
@@soundrocketstudios I've noticed you were switching back to pan mode whenever you had to select a track so I assume that's just for the visual convenience of seeing it on display thanks for rep
Yeah, it's just to check the name of the channels again BUT, since actually there's two rows of text, I found a button that puts the mode you're in in the upper row and the name of the channels in the lower row (so that you don't have to switch that mode off again) which is super cool! Don't remember which though lol 😅
Will check asap
@@soundrocketstudios Oh well, curious I remain :)
I'd love a knob only version with the small screen for each knob. A new BCR2000

how do you add the extender(s) in Studio One?
I don't have any extender so I actually don't know.... Here's an explenation I found
1) Click Add and choose Mackie Control for the x-Touch. Under Receive From and Send To choose X-Touch INT. Click OK.
2) Click Add and choose Mackie Control Extender for the x-Touch extender. Under Receive From and Sent To choose X-Touch-ExtX-T.._INT. Click OK.
3) Click Placement. Now drag the Extender into Group 1 first then drag the Control into Group 1. Click Close then OK. This will put channels 1-8 on the extender and 9-16 on the x-Touch.
4) If a session is open, close it and open again. The track names and faders should come up on both devices.

I use Waveform DAW and I'm trying to do something like this with my X Touch. Can X-Touch controls be mapped to keyboard shortcuts in any Mackie Protocol DAW like Waveform? If so, how would I get started? There is no documentation I can find on user defined keys/functions on the Behringer website. What am I missing?
Hey! I don't have any experience with Waveform and heared some problems with trying to connect a faderport 8 to it in mackie mode so sorry to say but I can't confirm
Try going to the Control Surfaces tab, in settings, select the Mackie Control Universal, and set the input, and possibly output devices to your x-touch.
Since the x touch itself doesn't need any installation, if Waveform works with mackie control protocol it should work with ease. If it doesn't (let me repeat as I said in the review video) it's not behringer's fault but a problem with the DAW
Let me know if it works 👍
@@soundrocketstudios Thanks so much for your reply. Tech support agrees that in Waveform the Xtouch is really only good for volume faders and pan pots, as well as the transport controls. The user assignable keys are not actually user assignable because Waveform doesn't have a control surface editor in its software. Interesting and annoying. So now if I want to use the Xtouch as it was designed, I'm in for a new DAW, and that's not going to happen anytime soon. But, in your opinion, what DAW would be most compatible with the Xtouch? Thanks again.
The ABSOLUTE best if u plan to use the x touch for your near future are cubase and logic. You'll have a better point of view on how it generally works with the different major daws by watching my review but in any case, Cubase and logic, no doubts. It works 100% as intended with them. Anyway if I can give you a lil tip, I feel like it's ALWAYS better to search for a daw and then for a control surface and not the other way. I wanted to use logic myself with the x touch but decided to jump 100% on s1 since for me (for mixing) it's really what I was looking for. It's A LOT less trouble to change your control surface than your daw and the more time u spend with one, the more you learn from it
Let me know if u decide anything and give s1 a try! 😉😉👋🏻
