I'm trying to map shortcuts and activators on my Behringer X-Touch but getting a little stuck!

Firstly - I am trying to program the SOLO and MUTE buttons - but currently they are only triggering momentarily as i push them. I can not work out how to push it to toggle it on, and push it again to toggle it off. I've tried Note ON and OFF and SOLO ON and OFF but cannot find the right combination to make it work!

Also, motorised faders. Even though I have mapped the faders to control the software sliders, my x-touch returns the physical faders to 0 after a second. I am running in Mackie USB mode. Ive seen this mentioned a few times, but not managed to successfully find an answer with a working solution.

Thanks in advance

Ah fair enough- but suppose I had a midi device that was compatible. What is the correct short cuts to, for example, push once to activate channel 1 solo, and push again to de-activate it.

I wish I'd read this a few days ago. My shiny new X-Touch arrived yesterday, and I've hooked it up to vMix today. I'd already got an X-Touch Mini and was so impressed with how easily it worked with vMix, I thought I'd get the big brother. But it's not the same at all.

@adisontv - I can answer your question about the buttons... When you press a button down, it fires a note at a certain velocity. When you let go of the button, it sends another note with a different velocity. In vMix, if you don't specify the value that you're targeting, the shortcut will fire twice: once when you press the button down, and again when you let go. If you check the box, and type in the specific value that corresponds to pressing the button down, it'll solve your problem.

Meanwhile, I have the same issue with the faders closing themselves. I can't figure out how to set an activator that moves them.

Also, the knobs at the top behave differently to the knobs on the X-Touch Mini. On the Mini, turning a knob generates a sliding scale of values. On the X-Touch, each click clockwise fires a note with velocity 65, and each click anticlockwise fires a note with velocity 0. So in vMix, whereas the Mini will fully control a fader from closed to open, a knob on the X-Touch just flicks the volume to 0 or 65.

Gutted. 😫

I think it's fair to say that it *could* work, if vMix supported the MIDI dialect (for want of a better word) that it's talking. Considering that the faders are understood by vMix as a controller, it can't be a massive leap to have vMix talk back to them correctly. I just don't know what the X-Touch is expecting to hear back, so any attempts to set up the activators are just stabbing around in the dark.

Until then, in the absence of working faders, I'm no better off than I was using an X-Touch Mini. That works beautifully, and for a tenth of the price!

Hi Just came across this post.
I have an Behringer Xtouch Extender. So far almost all functionality works (safe for a few missing activators in vmix). On an extender you need to set it to CTRL or CTRL REL mode, looking at the documentation for the Xtouch it looks like they may not have that functionality natively (possibly available via firmware update).
Hope that helps happy to answer any questions provide any guidance I can.

@Ice, can you tell me what is supported? I have the X-Touch and I see it as a UBS device in Windows 10 but in vMix no buttons are reacting. Did research but cannot find the answer to get the device at least partly working.... any hints - tips?

Thx,

Wouter
