Essential Information About the Behringer X-TOUCH EXTENDER Control Surface
- Extend your X-TOUCH with 8 additional channels: motorized faders, dedicated displays and controls, for faster and more precise mixing.
- Wide compatibility thanks to Mackie Control, HUI, and Standard MIDI Control modes, allowing you to control numerous DAWs both in studio and live settings.
- Immediate visual feedback: LCD screens per channel, LED rings on encoders, and 8-segment LED meters to keep essential information in sight.
- Comprehensive connectivity: USB-MIDI, powered USB hub, and Ethernet for remote control via MIDI RTP.
An EXTENDER Designed to Expand an X-TOUCH Setup Without Changing Your Workflow
The X-TOUCH EXTENDER adopts the ergonomics and philosophy of the X-TOUCH range: providing a true console feel while seamlessly integrating into your DAW environment. Its role is clear:
add 8 control channels to your existing surface, with the same references (track names, parameters, levels) to work faster without juggling multiple pages and banks in the software. And if your session grows,
multiple X-TOUCH and EXTENDER units can be combined to simulate a large-scale control surface.
Who Is the X-TOUCH EXTENDER For and What Are Its Uses?
The X-TOUCH EXTENDER is aimed at demanding home studio users, sound engineers, and creators who want to regain
tactile control over mixing: volume automation, panning, sends, plugin parameters, arm, mute/solo... Where the mouse quickly becomes a limitation, its motorized faders and dedicated controls allow you to
gain precision and stay focused on listening.
It can also be used as a
standalone controller for remote recording sessions with a laptop: convenient for controlling your tracks without transporting a full setup, while maintaining real comfort for editing and automation.
Key Features: Smooth DAW Control, Visual Feedback, and Automation
8 Touch-Sensitive Motorized Faders for Natural Automation
The
8 motorized 100 mm faders, fully automated and touch-sensitive, follow your DAW's movements and facilitate clean automation writing. Compared to a setup limited to a single surface, the EXTENDER immediately provides
more tracks accessible simultaneously, resulting in fewer bank changes and a more continuous workflow.
Per-Channel Display and Instant Controls
Each channel strip features a
dynamic LCD screen to view track names and parameters, a rotary encoder with
LED ring for on-the-fly adjustments, and an
8-segment LED meter to monitor levels. The
32 illuminated buttons enhance visibility of states (selection, functions, actions), even in live environments.
USB, Built-In Hub, and Ethernet for Modern Integration
The
integrated USB MIDI interface simplifies connection to Mac or PC, while the
powered USB hub (2 ports) helps daisy-chain additional controllers. Ethernet opens the door to
MIDI RTP for remote control scenarios.
