Could Behringer’s newest member of the X-Touch family be the One for you?
DAW controller for the studio and live
Behringer has announced the launch of a new member to its DAW controller family, the X-Touch One.
The One joins the X-Touch, X-Touch Compact and X-Touch Mini (first seen at the 2014 NAMM show) and carries on with the same universal DAW controlling ethos for both live and studio applications.
Although not as small as the Mini, the One looks as though the end of the flagship X-Touch has been chopped off, leaving just one motorized fader and all the navigation and transport functions.
The controller includes standard Note and CC MIDI assignments, presets for Mackie Control and support for every major DAW. You’ll also find several overlays to help you with the DAW templates and even user presets.
The X-Touch One is available for pre-order now for $180/£108 from stores and more information can be found on the Behringer website.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
