This script uses the Mackie Control Universal (MCU) protocol. Your X-Touch and the extenders will need to be set to MCU mode. To do so,
- Start with the device turned off
- While holding down the SELECT button for channel 1, push the power switch
- Rotate encoder 1 to set the mode to
MC. - Rotate encoder 2 to select the interface to use (e.g.
USB). - Pres the SELECT button for channel 1 to confirm settings.
- The unit will now boot.
- For more info, check out "Step 3: Getting started" in the official quick-start guide, p. 24.

Download all files in this repository (Code -> Download ZIP). From the ZIP archive, copy all the files in the
fltouch-mainfolder to your FL Studio Scripts folder, in a dedicated subfolder. Usually this would be:
- Windows:
%UserProfile%\Documents\Image-Line\Data\FL Studio\Settings\Hardware\fltouch - MacOS:
~/Image-Line/FL Studio/Settings/Hardware/fltouch
- In FL Studio's MIDI settings (Options -> Midi settings), you'll find your "X-Touch" and "X-Touch-Ext" controllers. Set your X-Touch's MIDI channel to 102 and the extenders to 103, 104, ... and change the controller type to "FLtouch X-Touch" or "FLtouch X-Touch Extender" (depending on if the device is an extender or not).
