Behringer has introduced a new family of universal control surfaces, a trio of controllers consisting of the X-Touch Universal Control Surface and its siblings, the Compact and Mini.

The X-Touch offers 9 high-quality and touch-sensitive motor faders, 8 LCD scribble strips for instant overview of track names and parameters plus 8 rotary controls with LED-collars for on-the-fly parameter adjustments.

Built-in Ethernet, USB and MIDI interfaces provide direct access to PC or Mac computers, a MIDI device and future X32 remote control.

Equipped with the same motorized fader count as its bigger brother, plus16 rotary controls and a Dual-Layer Mode, the X-Touch Compact is ideal for making fast transitions between DAW and instrument applications. All control elements come preconfigured, so the unit is ready for use right out of the box.

“These all-powerful control surfaces really let you get your hands on your software,” says product manager Bert Niedermeyer. “You’ll love the tactile feedback you get from the controller surface, and you’ll wonder why you ever relied on a mouse. They really feel that good.”

The Minis 8 rotary knobs with LED-collars and 16 dedicated illuminated buttons (including transport control) provide on-the-fly adjustment of parameters.

A built-in USB/MIDI interface allows direct connection to Mac/PC computers and for future add-ons of other controllers, with no drivers required.
