Love this level of ingenuity! I hope to do this but also be able to control PS and Premiere.
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
You are a smarter man than I. Like your take on using the midi controller. Thanks!
Thanks I have been looking for an affordable controller for a while now. Great video
Coming in CLUTCH with the links in the description. Thanks! Just ordered mine after watching this!
Glad you found that little green sticker that was stuck on your finger ... :) But seriously, thanks for the video, MUCH APPRECIATED!
Awesome vid man! Really helpful you spending time to talk about your journey to creating the keyboard and insight into your workflow!
low key clever to post seperate link for timestamp for more views lol. thanks dude good tutorial.
Your setup is brilliant! And the way you made it wireless is beyond genius. Amazing. Just amazing. The presets and profiles are not available in your gdrive anymore and I'm wondering how you manage to make the knobs turn different settings depending on which button you press while still staying in the same layer.
Daaaamn good tutorial + diy tip with the wireless system using power bank is crazy!!!
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.
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!
Just got one, love it so far!
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 ;-)
Cool project! I'm going to use this for streaming.
Could you update the profiles link? It seems to be broken... Great video and the best presets I have seen for the X-Touch!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I just got the panel. It is fantastic!
Thank you Dan! Hugely helpful! Three years later, would you still recommend the same model?
great video, I will definitely steal some ideas from you when setting up my midi controller!
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...
GREAT VIDEO. thanks and could you please make the link accessable without approval?
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"
Can us show how to HSL by having a button switch to each and use the top knobs to adjust each color level
have the same problem, did you fixed it?
Guess I'll be setting these two up that we have :) thanks for the guide
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
Thanks so much! You're the best
done tNice tutorialngs and to fast track our learning curve and there are so many EDM artists using it.
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.
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
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!
Thanks for sharing. The "Midi2LR My Presets:" file does not exist. Can you upload it again. Thanks in advance.
Hi! Did you get the profile? :) Looking for one too
Nice vid! I am excited to piece mine together and get my profiles dialed in!!! This is exactly the video I needed to make my purchasing decision. (found you by searching "MIDI 2 LR BEHRINGER USB Controller (XTOUCHMINI) Lightroom")
Stay safe everyone
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?
Pretty cool. I didnt know it can control that.
hey Dan for your preset , tha page don't exist , how i do for download ???
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 really really helpfull!!!
You are a legend , could you reuplaod Midi2LR My Presets somewhere ? please Thank you .
Thank you Genius!
Profiles are missing in your files.
Would a physical controller make your workflow faster?
Dude thank you for this video - I am sold..
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.
Thanks a lot !
How do you affect a button to the delete action, I can't find it !?
Thanks !
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
You look EXACTLY like British comedian Jack Whitehall
Alex Smith omg literally was thinking the same thing, then saw your comment 😂
Thank you for sharing. Great idea. Much cheaper than loopdeck. Does it work with Capture One?
If money wasn’t an issue Loupedeck+, Loupedeck CT or Behringer X touch mini?
Hey, it seems like you have removed your presets from your google drive. Could you upload them again?
Thanks!
I'm with Pete, could you please?
@10.28 the green sticker comes off on your thumb
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
By the time you learn these keys, dont you find the KB shortcuts to learn maybe as fast?
Awesome thanks!
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
Help! Could someone send a X-Touch EDITOR presets for Layer A/B fix, please? The google drive links doesn't work anymore :( BTW: Thanks for a great tutorial.
Cool!
Has anyone else had an issue switching back to Profile 1? Every time I switch to it MIDI2LR crashes.
I need help!!!! I switch from window to mac and everything work but not the keyboard shortcuts I programed. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Im new to these is the X-Touch Mini still cheapest midi controller? I wanted a small midi cheap one
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.
its not working on my x-touch mini :/ i load all with your tutorial but this not works, any controll is not bind :/
the suggestion next to tNice tutorials is "trap soft are EASY"
So many thanks Dan ! Just a question, how do you configure SYNC function to a button? Have a nice day !
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
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
Hello, great tutorial, could you tell me how can I use more than the 2 profiles (A & B) for the knobs?
Thanks for the review/workflow! Does this work for Adobe Camera Raw as well?
What is the other dongle connected to that powerbank other than the yamaha?
Awesome vid, please can you update your priest link..
Hello, thanks for an excellent video. Would X-Touch work with Lightroom 5?
anybody get the Yamaha bluetooth adapter to work? I plugged it in, it's blinking green & red, but nothing showing up on my mac. Nothing under the bluetooth menu nor the audio midi setup window. Not even sure what I'm supposed to do
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
Can you adjust how much of a change every dial rotation makes? .05, .1, .5 etc?
drive link broken for presets can you remake it?
Did you get fruity or producer edition? Im looking to buy soft soft but i dont know if Producer edition is worth it...
Hi. The link to the presets/settings is broken. IS ther eany way you can help us?
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.
Profiles link is dead.. the one link that is alive only has the presets ie 2 bin files. (no xml) .any chance of posting an updated link to the profiles please
imposible d eclairer le clavier des solutions ???
svp
impossible to illuminate the keyboard solutions ???
please
Will this work with Capture One?
question, what would be a Left and Right scroll? i cant find the assignemt any idea what tab under?
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 ?
Can you use the profile from windows on a mac?
No buttons are registered in midi2LR from my new xtouch mini. I cannot assign anything. the xtouch editor shows no issues. Can u help me with this?
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?
Is tNice tutorials the free version?
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
softING AROUND THE BUSH
Why is x-Touch-Editor needed? Can't you configure it from zero without it? Thanks!
I am new to this, sorry if this has been asked before. From the looks of your web page on this topic. It looks like you are getting three features out of every dial? How did you do this? Or is this only a windows thing?
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?
Thanks for the video. I have downloaded all files mentioned and tried to install however I am getting an error. The midi2lr software fails to open. I have version 2.9.5.0 and when i open it I simply get a white box and the program doesn't open. It says "program not responding" and i have to close it. Any ideas?
I have the same problem. If anyone can help us, t would be so happy :(
Sir,
How to use this in premiere pro.?
Anyone can save me and tell what to do with the new lightroom classic? I can't upload the profiles..
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?
whats increase current button do?? trying to copy your setup, the excel sheet sorta helps.
Cheers Dan for an interesting vid.
Can you program this MIDI controller to do local edits like brushes & radial filters?
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!
The X-Touch Editor App is the same that is on this Behringer website? www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Desktop-Controllers/X-TOUCH-MINI/p/P0B3M/Downloads#googtrans(en|en)
The link on your description is not longer working.
Thanks in advance man, great tutorial.
Will the full size X-touch work too?
