Excellent Video and even better walk through on your site. Highly recommend this build out, totally stoked with my setup. I made a few modifications to my buttons that go more with my work flow.
Coming in CLUTCH with the links in the description. Thanks! Just ordered mine after watching this!
Awesome vid man! Really helpful you spending time to talk about your journey to creating the keyboard and insight into your workflow!
Thanks for this great video Dan! I am going to have to check this out. This looks like it would really speed up my workflow, thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I just got the panel. It is fantastic!
Just got one, love it so far!
You are a smarter man than I. Like your take on using the midi controller. Thanks!
great video, I will definitely steal some ideas from you when setting up my midi controller!
Thanks I have been looking for an affordable controller for a while now. Great video
First off thank you for this, I"ve been looking for a product like this but most are just for lightroom and having something that I can reprogram is a boon. Second I'm a Linux user and this would work well with Linux style software and yes they have drivers for Linux. I just ordered my via Amazon only because it's global and if I have any issues I can return it unlike some of the E- stores who have better prices but sometimes by the time you get the product someone walked all over it... Please keep up the good work, "I'm a fan or yours now"
Daaaamn good tutorial + diy tip with the wireless system using power bank is crazy!!!
thx for the presets, it took some time before i understood i had to lood the .txt file.... but now it works great > making stickers now ;-)
Thank you Dan! Hugely helpful! Three years later, would you still recommend the same model?
its priceless. the slickness and the passion of the devs. priceless. what is cheaper and better than soft? Piracy is NOT the answer if you
Guess I'll be setting these two up that we have :) thanks for the guide
Cool project! I'm going to use this for streaming.
Hi Dan, awsome video you made of the X Touch Mini and how to use it with Lightroom! I wonder if you have anywhere a full screenshot of your X Touch Mini with lay-out of label tape for the knobs and buttons. Thanks for answering
great video. What about the sensivity of the knobs ? I mean is it possible to change value very slightly, like picking .001 increments in White Balance or .01 in exposure for example ? This would be my main concern with this kind of device, have some fine tuning possible with the sliders/knobs.
Could you update the profiles link? It seems to be broken... Great video and the best presets I have seen for the X-Touch!
Glad you found that little green sticker that was stuck on your finger ... :) But seriously, thanks for the video, MUCH APPRECIATED!
Great review. Looks really good. I'm guessing you could edit video with it just as well or better as one of those ugly shuttles. Nice customisation too!
Thanks for the review/workflow! Does this work for Adobe Camera Raw as well?
Hello, great tutorial, could you tell me how can I use more than the 2 profiles (A & B) for the knobs?
Thanks so much! You're the best
Awesome review and showing of this device. I purchased one myself after watching this. With the colour changes (around the 5:12 mark) you go to layer b then go to hugh (another button) then your dials up the top change function. How did you do this? I am trying to program mine and everytime i push layer b than the button (top row 3 in) then use the dial it just goes back to show me what i have already set it to in the standard layer b. What am i missing?
Hi Dan, how would you suggest going about the Crop ? Would you map something to "Crop Key" and then use the mouse for actual crop ?
Hi I have a few questions about this set-up. I'm comparing it to the Loupedeck+ which has some specific functions that interest me and I would like to know if Midi2LR can do the same 1 Can any of the buttons be set to CTRL and ALT? 2 If a local adjustment is opened such as gradient or brush, would the dials function be restricted to the local adjustment or does it revert back to the whole image? 3 Do the adjustments only work in Develop or are they active in Library Mode? Many Thanks for your great video and blog
thanks really really helpfull!!!
Hi my friend im looking for older version on my mac now the update is just for catalina version. You new were i can find oldwr version
Thank you for sharing. Great idea. Much cheaper than loopdeck. Does it work with Capture One?
So many thanks Dan ! Just a question, how do you configure SYNC function to a button? Have a nice day !
Hello, will you know how to make x Touch mini work in Final cut pro?
Cheers Dan for an interesting vid. Can you program this MIDI controller to do local edits like brushes & radial filters?
Great video Dan! Is there a way to use it for local adjustments as well? I am planning to use the Behringer X Touch Mini along with a Wacom tablet. Would it be possible to create the mask with the tablet and then adjust it with the X Touch Mini?
Hello, thanks for an excellent video. Would X-Touch work with Lightroom 5?
Awesome thanks!
hey man, love the vid, just got my Behringer, but not sure where to get the software to set it up...do i have to pay for it?
Cool video i stumbled on it while looking on how to set up Midi2lr. My question is do you still use this controller? I've been using it for the past few days and still keep going back to the mouse especially for local adjustments
Hi, I like many of your videos, they are clear and you are helpful. Just ask us a question. Behringer X-Touch Mini can also work with premiere CC and I imagine that also with phoshop CS6 greetings from Mexico
I just got my board in and when I try to load the bin files on the X-touch editor it crashes the program. Anyone know what's up? I'm using a Surface Pro 3 for that.
Pretty cool. I didnt know it can control that.
Hi, do you know, if this will still work with the new Lightroom CC? I understand that this tutorial is for Lightroom Classic CC. Thanks, Chris
@Dan Marker-Moore . I am using this with Ableton live on a mac.Since the X-touch mini doesn't come with a editor for mac/windows only,Do you or anyone else have any ideas on how to make a editor for mac?
hello. I would like to know if this device really makes it a lot easier to edit in lightroom or if there is no much difference editing using a keyboard? Editing in the device is so much better that it makes it worthwhile buying it? I really apreciate your replay

it sits in my storage. i downloaded "KEYS" or "vsco keys".. along with logitech g602 mouse it makes my setup great. what i didnt like about xtouch mini is i cant edit photos right from grid view - every touch jumps to develop mode which is slow. with "vscokeys" i can adjust general tones etc right from grid view which is amazing
hi. i configured just as you made it, i cant change colors hue and some more. cau help me ?
whats increase current button do?? trying to copy your setup, the excel sheet sorta helps.
Thanks a lot ! How do you affect a button to the delete action, I can't find it !? Thanks !
GREAT VIDEO. thanks and could you please make the link accessable without approval?
How would you compare this to loupedeck?
How did you map the buttons to effectively allow the knobs to have multiple modes/layers in addition to the Layer A/B? I sent an access request to the link above to your profiles. Maybe that might provide some clarity if I can access them too. Thanks
Can you adjust how much of a change every dial rotation makes? .05, .1, .5 etc?
Does this work for premier pro? can you use the same software to program the controller to say make changes to lumetri in premier?
Nice video. Please reupload your MIDI2LR presets. The link in the description is down
Nice vid! But could you please reupload your MIDI2LR presets? The link in the description is down...
can I make the increase the slider steps of 1 even in PC ?
it works at any ligthroom version rigth?
Hi! I bought the behrhinger and Ive got a problem, that whenever i press button that does a keyboard shorctcut like command alt v, the app crashes... It worked for a few times and then it just stopped after a few restarts it crashes when i press that buttons. can you help me ?
Hi, is it possible to program/set more than two layers?
Hm. I can't see any xml files in this Google docs folder? Only layer A and B .bin... Shouldn't there be xml settings files for Midi2LR?
You know with works in premiere CC LUmetri?
Is there a software to make this compatible with Photoshop, too?
Can us show how to HSL by having a button switch to each and use the top knobs to adjust each color level

Has anyone else had an issue switching back to Profile 1? Every time I switch to it MIDI2LR crashes.

What is the other dongle connected to that powerbank other than the yamaha?
Can it be used to control Photoshop??? I have no idea of this stuff and I want to gift this to my friend. Help pls
Will this work on Resolve?
I havent used it for a few months.... now its not working.... what version of midi2lr do i use for the latest version of lightroom classic?

Hi. The link to the presets/settings is broken. IS ther eany way you can help us?
Does it work with premiere pro?
Need help. My settings used to show the changes i make on the bottom center of the screen like in the video. Now It doesnt show the no.'s anymore and i find it hard to look at the panel and back to the screen unlike if it shows the changes on the actual photo.
hey Dan for your preset , tha page don't exist , how i do for download ???
hi,i follow your way from your site.thank's.i believe you have a mistake at the steps.your file wich you have to download at the moment wich choose the profile folder.you have to download the presets no the profile folder.And now i have a question.how can i make my set up at midi2lr to customize my own style?sorry for my english.thank's for the help
Hello Dan! The google drive link for your X-Touch profile displays "Page Not Found". Can we please have an updated link for that? Thank you very much!
So you said some of the buttons controlled the same function and you have to change that in the behringer software, you can’t change that in midi2lr. I want to get this but I currently only have access to Mac and you say the software for the controller isn’t compatible
Can you use this with Final Cut Pro?
Thank you Genius!
Would a physical controller make your workflow faster?

Srsly great vid, lots of information, and you made it fun. Have you tried out the Loupedeck yet? I just saw those today and wanted to get one but after diving down a websearch rabbit hole I found this video. Now I'm totally buying this instead.
low key clever to post seperate link for timestamp for more views lol. thanks dude good tutorial.
i can't figure out the Get A, Dump A, Get B, Dump B part. in the X-touch editor, am I supposed to click Load and then select the layer A bin file, thne get a, then dump A. & then after that, do I click Load again and load the B .bin file. Then Get B, then Dump B? help would be gratly appreciated!
By the time you learn these keys, dont you find the KB shortcuts to learn maybe as fast?
Will the full size X-touch work too?
Can you use the profile from windows on a mac?
Hi. Thanks for an easy to follow video. Your Preset link is broken, could you provide the preset txt files? Tnx in advance. Best regards.
If money wasn’t an issue Loupedeck+, Loupedeck CT or Behringer X touch mini?
Lightroom only ??
This looks like a great setup. I'm curious if do anything in LR to change the settings without adjusting the knobs on the x-touch, will its light indicators reflect the changes? Say you are scrolling through different pictures, will the indicators on the x-touch knobs properly update to indicate the current settings in the develop panel?

Yes, it actually changes the indicators. Also if you switch to another photo, that photo's settings will be represented by the indicators.
Sir, How to use this in premiere pro.?
drive link broken for presets can you remake it?
is it possible at premiere pro?
Did you get fruity or producer edition? Im looking to buy soft soft but i dont know if Producer edition is worth it...
Why is x-Touch-Editor needed? Can't you configure it from zero without it? Thanks!
