For fun, you can download this SONAR project called fadertest.cwp
 
I did not write it.  It was developed many years ago, I assume for testing the Tascam FW-1884.  All it does is exercise the faders continuously.  My memory is that the Tascam's fader movements were smoother than the Behringer X-Touch's are.
 
If you open this project in SONAR, it will ask to create the missing audio file.  Go ahead and let it.  It will then look for the missing audio file, and you can say Skip.  Once the project loads, just press Run.  The automation curves are all that is needed.
 
It's on my website, here:   http://mattfinley.com/fadertest.cwp

I got my X touch on Thursday. Got it working on Thursday and Friday. Now today, Saturday, I can't get the play button on the X touch to work. When I hit the play button on the X touch all it does is send the Now Time marker back to the beginning of the song. The stop, rewind and fast forward buttons all seem to work fine. I am sure it is not the unit because all the transport buttons, including the play button work fine with Ableton Live. Just having the problem in Sonar Platinum. All button seem to work except play and record.
 
I tried deleting and adding the unit again but still having the same issue. I am using Mackie Control. I am updated to the latest Sonar Platinum release. Any ideas to solve this problem?

Chech the preferences and make sure the X-touch is listed for input and output and that the any other controllers listed (if any) are correct. I had a problem after a reinstall where the controllers needed to be reset. After that, everything worked fine.

Thanks. I had the V-Studio 100 still listed under control surfaces. I don't use it anymore. I deleted it and everything is working properly now!

Great!
 
For anyone else hitting this thread in the middle, I put up a few basic instructions on how to get the X-Touch running in SONAR.  I do not claim it is a definitive tutorial, but try it to set up your X-Touch.

I've been using mine for a week or two now, and find it comparable to the FW-1884, which I also like/liked. Knock on wood, but I have not had any issues so far. I am currently using Newburyport in Sonar Platinum with Windows 10. After being used to the FW-1884, going back to a mouse was very annoying to me. Feels great to be using faders again! :)
 
There is a 2 part video on youtube that I found helpful in setting it up. Here is part 1, which will bring you to part 2.

Part 1 has most of the important stuff in it. While it sometimes takes the speaker a little while to get to the next point, it's well worth watching IMO. 
 
 
 

So it's been about 9 months since this unit came out. Has there been a firmware update and how does it work now with sonar Platinum? My Roland V 700 is going to be too inconvenient to use because it won't work after the anniversary update Windows 10 so I bought another interface, and preamp and I would like to have a basic control surface.

Hi Steve.  Yes, there was one firmware update a few months ago, and one shortly after it was released.  I don't remember the firmware made any difference with SONAR.  The unit still is completely stable for me.
 

Hi Matt, good to see you. As long as it's working that's great. What type interface do you have? I just got an audient because of the low latency and the analog digital converters. Does the Behringer plug directly into the computer and into the interface from the out of the Behringer?

The X-Touch is not a soundcard, unlike the FW-1884 that I replaced, so there is no output needed from the Behringer except the USB connection to the computer.  The I/O through USB gives you a MIDI control surface that emulates the Mackie Control Unit. 
 
There is MIDI In/Out, footswitch control, Ethernet, and two USB hubs on the Behringer, but you still need a separate soundcard.  My equipment is listed in my signature.  The Focusrite 18i20 is the heart of it.
