The Behringer X-Touch Compact gives you intuitive tactile control over your DAW and VST instruments with its array of faders, knobs and buttons. Its compact size makes it easy to fit into any studio setup or take on the road. The X-Touch Compact features nine touch-sensitive, motorized faders that move in sync with your DAW automation for dynamic tactile control. It also has 16 rotary encoders with LED collars and 39 backlit buttons that provide helpful visual feedback during recording and mixing. Extensive preset support allows the X-Touch Compact to integrate seamlessly with all major DAWs like Ableton Live and Logic Pro right out of the box. You can also control your favorite VST synths and drum machines. For those who want to customize, the powerful editing software lets you remap controls and build your own presets.

Compact Design Fits Anywhere With Ease

The Behringer X-Touch Compact has a conveniently small footprint and will fit seamlessly into any home studio setup, desktop production rig or mobile DJ kit. The lightweight chassis also makes the X-Touch Compact easy to transport to gigs and sessions. Set it up in a flash next to your laptop without taking up much space. With the X-Touch Compact by your side, you'll have hands-on control of your DAW no matter where inspiration strikes.

Nine Motorized Faders React to Your Music

A highlight of the X-Touch Compact is its set of nine motorized, touch-sensitive faders. As you sculpt your mix, automate tracks and ride levels in real time, the faders will move right along with you. Watch your blends and edits come to life on the hardware itself. The motorized faders provide helpful visual feedback and make working with plugins like compressors more intuitive. You can shape transients and dynamics using your tactile senses. Having motors drive the faders also enables you to reset them to neutral with the push of a button. The touch-sensitivity ensures smooth, accurate control over any parameter you map to the faders.

LED Rings and Buttons for Feedback

The Behringer X-Touch Compact enhances your workflow with LED-lit controls that provide instant visual feedback. The 16 rotary encoders each have RGB LED collars that indicate the value of any parameter assigned to them. You'll know your levels, pans and plugin settings at a glance. The 39 backlit buttons are ideal for functions like solo, mute, track arming and more. Their LEDs light up different colors to show if a channel is muted, soloed, selected and so on. With all the metering right on the hardware's surface, you don't have to keep looking back to the DAW screen.

Customize With the Editor Software

While the X-Touch Compact comes loaded with presets for popular DAWs, you can customize it to suit your workflow using the editor software. Create your own control mappings, build presets for instruments and effects and set up the surface just the way you like. Complex editing features like parameter scaling give you fine-tuned command over parameters. You can also set up dual-layer banks to switch between software and hardware control. Take the time to personalize it and the X-Touch Compact will become an extension of your creative mind.
