Behringer X-TOUCH COMPACT USB/MIDI Control Surface

Behringer X-TOUCH COMPACT USB/MIDI Control Surface
Behringer X-TOUCH COMPACT is a USB/MIDI control surface with nine touch-sensitive motorised faders and sixteen rotary encoders for compatible software and MIDI workflows. Why Choose Behringer X-TOUCH COMPACT? X-TOUCH COMPACT gives supported parameters a physical control surface rather than adding microphone inputs or a standalone audio mixer. Its dual-layer operation and documented control emulation provide options for mapping a recording or performance workflow. The receiving application determines what each supported control changes. This corrects the inventory’s mixer wording without changing the existing category or URL. Keep the computer audio interface separate in the setup, then configure the controller’s ports, mode and software mapping. Motorised feedback requires the appropriate return control data from the receiving system. Key Features – Nine motorised faders: touch-sensitive control elements. – Sixteen encoders: supported rotary parameter adjustment. – USB and MIDI: control-data connections. – Dual layers: documented mapping flexibility. Best Suited For
Hands-on control of compatible recording software, instruments or supported MIDI equipment. A control surface sends commands, while the receiving software or device generates, mixes or records the audio. Choose it around the supported control protocol, mappings and workflow rather than assuming faders imply built-in audio inputs. Setup and Connection Guide
Connect the supported USB or MIDI route and select the matching operating mode. In the receiving application, assign the control surface and its correct input/output ports according to the software instructions. Test one fader, encoder and transport command before mapping the rest of the session. Keep audio-interface selection separate from control-surface configuration. Check software feedback to the motorised faders and avoid duplicate MIDI routing that can repeat commands. Save the configuration after confirming bank or layer behaviour, and verify mappings when changing applications or project templates. Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug a microphone into X-TOUCH COMPACT and record over USB? No. This is a control surface. Use a suitable audio interface for the microphone and computer audio, and configure X-TOUCH COMPACT separately for supported software control. Does a motorised fader control surface record microphone audio? The faders send control information. Microphone recording requires a separate audio input and interface unless the exact device explicitly includes those functions. A USB control connection is not proof of USB audio capability. Will every button work automatically in every recording application? Support depends on the application, operating mode, protocol and mapping. Choose the documented mode and test the required controls. Custom assignments may be needed for functions outside the supported control-surface integration. Technical Specifications Specification
