X-TOUCH EXTENDER
X-TOUCH EXTENDER Getting started
(EN) Step 3: Getting
started
OVERVIEW
This Getting Started guide will help you set up
the X-TOUCH EXTENDER and briefly introduce its
capabilities. The X-TOUCH EXTENDER allows you
to control your software DAW with the accurate
touch and feel of a high quality controller. With 32
handy illuminated buttons, 8 rotary push-encoders,
and 8 touch sensitive motorized 100 mm faders,
it can operate a wide variety of DAWs in various
operation modes.
OPERATION MODES
The X-TOUCH EXTENDER supports HUI and
Mackie Control (MC) communication protocols
for seamless integration with every compatible
music production software. The unit can work in
"Mackie Control" surface mode when used alone,
or in "Mackie Control XT" mode when used with an
X-TOUCH unit.
Ctrl is the MIDI Controller mode, where each
element can send fixed MIDI messages.
CtrlRel is the same as the Ctrl MIDI Controller mode,
except that the encoders send out relative MIDI
messages. The procedure for changing modes is
shown in the configuration menu, see below.
SOFTWARE SET-UP
The X-TOUCH EXTENDER is a USB Class Compliant
MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required.
CONFIGURATION MENU
To enter the X-TOUCH EXTENDER'S configuration
menu, press and hold down Channel 1 SELECT
button and then turn on the unit's power switch.
The channel scribble displays show the various
parameters to be changed.
Rotate encoder 1 to change the emulation mode
between MC, HUI, Ctrl, or CtrlRel.
Rotate encoder 2 to select the interface from USB or
Network. Setup the network details using encoders
3 to 7 where required.
Rotate encoder 8 to adjust the display contrast from
0-100%.
Press Channel 1 SELECT button again to save the
settings and start the selected emulation.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all connections in your system.
Apply AC power to the X-TOUCH EXTENDER and turn
on its power switch.
The setup depends upon the X-TOUCH EXTENDER
interface you have selected, USB or Network.
USB: connect the X-TOUCH EXTENDER directly to
an available USB port on your computer using the
supplied USB cable.
Network: after all the IP, Mask and other settings
are made, connect its remote ethernet port to
your network.
If using the network interface, search for the
X-TOUCH EXTENDER on your network.
In your DAW software, select the X-TOUCH EXTENDER
as your MIDI controller, and enjoy.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
To show the current firmware version, hold down
the channel 1 REC button while you turn on the
power switch.
Check our website's X-TOUCH EXTENDER product
page for any firmware updates. If there is a firmware
version later than the currently-loaded firmware,
download the new file onto your host computer.
To enter the firmware update mode, hold down the
channel 8 REC button while you turn on the power
switch. The REC button will blink during update
mode. The new firmware can be dumped via USB.
Follow the instructions in the firmware file.
