If you're in need of a single fader Behringer X Touch One is the way to go.
I love the X Touch One, it is the best answer to the Alphatrack that I have lost dude to it being old and no new versions were made.
The X Tounch One
I have discovered that the encoder knob does function the LPF, and being so in Reason 10.1 I probably will be able to do other functions.
The Aesthetics of the XT1 is sleek, and it looks very nice. The buttons light up, and are very soft to the touch, and the great thing is they don't make any clicking aggravating noises.
The 100 millimeter fader is awesome! I love the number set up on the fader and the design. The fader feels so good to the touch and feels like you're on an SSL board, I mean it really feels good. Feeling this way makes you want to work. Coming from the Alphatrack to the XT1 is night and day.
The beautiful lit up toggle/scrub button looks great in a dim light room, I wasn't expecting that, when I first turned it on, I was shocked that it lit up. I didn't see that in any of the introductions to this machine. You get the read out of bars or time is your choice. You don't get that on the Alphatrack nor FaderPort V2. You also get an 8 bar level next to the fader to let you see if you're clipping (going into the red) or not which I think is the best. Basically I can look at the machine instead of the screen.
Reason 10.1 functionality.
I am very happy! I will have it at 90% working with Reason as I go on. Right now it does basically what I need it to do, the fader is absolutely important. Solo and Mute works perfectly. I didn't show that in the video. Master fader works gorgeously. Though when I am mixing I don't touch the master fader when I am mixing. Forward and Rewind works, stop, record all work effortlessly, as it should. :-)
Going from one track to the next works with the channel buttons and with the 5 button below it.
As you saw in the video, the scrub/toggle big knob can scrub in small increments or large increments which is very nice. You can use either your finger or grab it to turn. It moves in subtle clicks which feels really good. Behringer put some thought into this machine like no other. It doesn't come with a Reason overlay but it doesn't mean it won't work with Reason. So all you Reason guys, this is basically for you. I am very pleased.
I have to say Behringer has a nice machine on their hands and I am so glad that I didn't buy the FaderPort V2, no offense but it's not up to par with my standards coming from the Alphatrack. This is a very professional piece to add to your mixing desk. It's bigger than the other single faders but not that big whereas it takes up a lot space. It's built very well, that's what I was skeptical about but not anymore. I am pleased with the weight of this machine. Again it's sleek and feels very good.
The many options it has to work with other DAWs is pleasing! And in this case Reason 10.1, makes me love this machine even more.
The only down side to this which I have adjusted to and it's cool is the fact that you can't just cut the XT1 off. I loved the Alphatrack for being powered by the computer with the USB cable. But it's ok.
