Behringer X-TOUCH ONE DAW-controller

Compact Universal DAW Control Surface for Hands-On Mixing

The Behringer X-TOUCH ONE puts hands-on mixing within reach of any home studio. A single touch-sensitive 100mm motorized fader, a color LCD scribble strip, and 34 illuminated buttons deliver the tactile feedback that mouse-and-keyboard workflows lack. Native HUI and Mackie Control protocol support plus pre-printed DAW overlays mean the surface is recognized by Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, and Reason the moment it is plugged in.

What Sets This Controller Apart in the Compact Tier

Unlike simple transport-only units, this model combines a fully motorized touch-sensitive fader with a color LCD scribble strip that displays track names and parameters in real time. A two-port powered USB hub on the rear panel lets users daisy-chain dongles, keyboards, or additional controllers without reaching for the computer.

Home Studio Producers and Engineers Who Want Tactile Control

This controller is the right choice for solo producers, project-studio engineers, and podcast editors who want to escape mouse-and-keyboard mixing without paying for a full console. Its single motorized fader is ideal for riding lead vocals, bass, or dialogue levels while the rotary encoder handles pans and plugin tweaks. Pre-printed overlays for Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, and Reason make the surface recognizable the moment it lands on the desk.

Behringer's X-Touch Family of Universal Controllers

Behringer designed the X-Touch line as a tiered family of universal control surfaces, with this model at the compact end. The series shares HUI and Mackie Control protocol support across the larger X-Touch, X-Touch Compact, and X-Touch Extender, letting users scale up to multi-fader setups without changing workflow. The unit carries the same Planet Earth universal switching power supply found across Behringer's pro audio range.
