Behringer X Touch Universal Control Surface

Hello I have just bought the Behringer X Touch Universal Control Surface and was wondering if I could midi map the motorize faders using remotify?

I would need the faders to react and update with Abelton live. I Don’t like the Mackie protocol that it uses now because the mapping Behringer provides is kind of wonky and a lot pf the buttons don’t do anything with their current mapping.

The control of the VSts is kind of slow and I need them to move faster when twisting the knobs, plus I want the knobs to control a filter straight from the first page instead of clicking through screens to reach the parameter.

Can I edit the Mackie control protocol? I see its a .py file so I assume not.

Also will this need reactions to speak back and fourth to control the faders then update the faders portion physically?

Any help would be appreciated.

I had an x-touch awhile back. If you go to Ableton forums (I think) and use similar search terms there is a poster who a: provides a couple of x-touch scripts (also on YouTube iirc) but most importantly B: provides a little exe that interpolates/refines the resolution of the midi out data to the x-touch and therefore smooths the travel of the faders. It worked really well, it’s an issue with resolution or something. I’m reaching about 2 years back in my mind so apologies it’s.a bit vague. Absolutely is out there. Summary of solution: I ended up with two x touch scripts running in prefs named “x-touch” and “x-touch XT” plus a very minimal exe opened that smoothed the midi in the background (on windows ovs).

I might even have the scripts on my g-drive somewhere.

Message me on insta @degree3audio or something. Prolly just Google and youtube the above though for better resources and explanations with it. YouTube “x-touch fader fix” too maybe. Cheers
