Anyone who has been interested in this device, I just got a notice that the compact model is now "In stock" at Sweetwater and other gear e-tailers. I'm very interested to hear some reviews of it when the full-size model comes out. Looks like they're going to make it for X-mas. ;-)

Oh man. Been waiting aaaages for it. Gave up last year and got myself a VS700 
If I hadn't been that lucky to find one, I would still be waiting for the Behringer.
www.thomann.de here in Europe lists the full-size models as "in stock" right now ...

I gave up also and purchased a Mackie Pro Universal,
 
 
the Behringer looked so good, but it is a Behringer...

Sweetwater says that the X touch full size is now in stock for $600.  Looks like a good control surface.  I will put it on my list for Santa.

I'm a skeptic... I'm still convinced this controller is a myth until somebody here can post a photo of it in their room ;)

Hello from Germany,
 
I have the X-Touch for a while now and the main functions work well, but something is a bit strange I don't know how the mapping is on the mackie control.
 
Main function:
Fader, Record, Mute, Solo, Pan, Zoom and Transport is fine.
 
Strange:
Click button activate cycle not the click
Trim button = Track control
Save button = Activate Bus control
Undo button = Aux control
Midi Track button adds a new Audio Track
Inputs button adds a new Midi Track
Marker button has no function with Shift and Marker button the Marker Dialog opened
Automation buttons Read, Write, Touch does not work and the Latch button activates the offset modus.
And it seems that some other buttons also have no function.
 
I have the latest firmeware "" on the unit.

I've been waiting (like others) for this to come out. I almost pushed the "Buy" button, but decided to wait for the dust to settle before making the plunge.

It sounds like Behringer has not mapped the buttons usual way. 5 (!) possible roads to go:
1. (best, when available) find if X-Touch has several mapping modes. And find the one which is close to MCU
2. try to use moded plug-in from sdupayage: http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3092979 it has "remapping" page
3. participate in constructing X-Touch special mod for Mackie Control (as information provider and tester)
4. try adopt my plug-in Mackie preset for X-Touch
5. develop special X-Touch plug-in or preset in my plug-in from scratch (only if you have nothing to do next months )
 
What original plug-in expects (in terms of MIDI notes for buttons) you can check there:
* Right click on the image and open it separately to see the numbers

Thanks azslow3
 
Yes if I take your picture as template the knops are correct but the print on X-Touch is wrong. The plugin from sdupayage seems to work after a short test some of knops can be remappt but for exemple Read/Off still not work and Marker is 84 also on the picture but I have still to press Shift+Marker.
The AZ Controller plugin I test a while ago and it seems this has the same mapping as the mackie control from cakewalk if I use the preset. The X-touch has MCU and HUI protocol switchable, I use MCU.
 
Sorry my english is not so well.
 
P.S. @ azslow3 btw I also have downloaded the x64 version from here: but this *dll don't do any work.
