This adds all kinds of cool functionality and more so, allows you to customize the buttons and functions to your liking fairly easily. ThatвЂ™s when someone in the Reaper forums told me about the Control Surface Integration (CSI) plugin for Reaper by Geoff Waddington. Larger scroll if you press вЂњScrubвЂќДЄll those other fancy button and such donвЂ™t do anything in Reaper. Jog wheel scrolls play head left and right.Navigation arrows which can either scroll the screen left/right/up/down, or adjust horizontal/vertical zoom if you press the center Zoom button.Channel (Moves faders 1 track forward or backward, so 1-8 becomes 2-9).Fader Bank (Moves faders by 8 tracks forward or backward, so 1-8 becomes 9-16).Transport controls (back/forward arrows seem to navigate markers if any).Automation (Read, Write, Trim, Touch, Latch).Time, Beats, SMPTE and some others IвЂ™m not exactly sure of. SMPTE/Beats changes display between 7 different display formats.

Scribble strips show 6 characters of track name.Volume faders (and move to match on screen changes).Right out of the box these are the functions that worked for me: This will make the fader numbers match almost perfectly when adjusting faders. Go into preferences>Track Control Panels and change the вЂњVolume Fader RangeвЂќ from +12 to +10.

Luckily I found it did connect to my laptop, so I updated the firmware (downloaded 1.21 from the Behringer website and downloaded вЂњSendSXвЂќ to send the SysEx firmware update to the Xtouch after powering up the Xtouch with the вЂњDisplayвЂќ button held to enter update mode and see current firmware version) and all was good!Д¬onnected to my machine, went into Preferences>Control/OSC/Web in Reaper, added the вЂњMackie Control UniversalвЂќ and selected the Xtouch as Midi Input and Midi Output. Of course since I couldnвЂ™t connect it to my main computer I couldnвЂ™t update it. I found that there was a 1.21 firmware that fixed this issue. From Googling I found that itвЂ™s apparently SUPER common with AMD Ryzen chipsets and Motherboards. Select MCU, and USB.ДЄt first mine was not recognized by USB. I hooked up my new Xtouch and then powered it on with the Channel 1 вЂњSelectвЂќ pressed to enter setup mode.

I thought IвЂ™d document my journey for posterity in case I ever need to remember what all I did or in case it can help anyone else. The Xtouch works right out of the box though with only basic functionality mostly. The Korg unit had taken a lot of setup and tweaking to get it working with Reaper. ItвЂ™s a decent little surface, but I very quickly realized that if I was going to go this route I wanted to go all the way and actually have motorized faders and all the bells and whistles, so at the suggestion of many other users I got a Behringer Xtouch. I initially got a Korg nanoKONTROL to dip my toes in the water. Recently I decided it might be nice to get a physical control surface to use with it.

I have used Reaper as my Digital Audio Workstation software for about 15 years now and absolutely love it.
