Presets to have a consistent MIDI button layout on the Behringer X-Touch Mini.

Behringer X-Touch Mini Button Layer A/B Presets

These files can be loaded with the Behringer X-Touch Editor. Sadly this editor is only available on Windows and not for macOS and the only known workaround is to use a virtual machine via VirtualBox.

Purpose

By default the X-Touch Mini is not setup very "logical" with it's notes, dials, and faders. The notes and buttons are are rather random in their numbering.

With these presets the numbering is much more logical and easy to remember.

Button & Dial Layout Logic

Twisting the twist dials will send CONTROL CHANGE with values from 0 to 127.

Pressing the twist dials will send NOTE_ON with value 127 on press and NOTE_OFF with value 0 on release.

All buttons are sending NOTE_ON with value 127 on press and NOTE_OFF with value 0 on release.

The Fader sends CONTROL CHANGE with values between 0 and 127.
