The DrivenByMoss extension really changed (in a good way) the way I use the X-Touch with Reaper. It went from being a nice control surface to a really great, very usable control surface. I'd go so far as saying it revolutionised the way I use both it and Reaper, speeding up my workflow in countless ways. Jorgen has put so much work into this. There are so many little touches he has thought of that make all the difference. And as others have said, he listens to user feedback and implements suggestions. (The recent Alt, Opt, Shift + Press for min, max and middle being a good example).

AWESOME! Those modifier keys were implemented based off a feature request I suggested. They are a huge help especially if you use Waves StudioRack. I’m happy to hear that they were helpful for others.

YO!! I’m so happy to see someone giving DrivinBYMoss some love. I love this implantation for X-Touch sooo much. Jorgen is also a very cool guy who listens to user feedback and will implement what he can. For instance, on the Plugin Page, I’d requested that it would be really powerful to allow the modifiers (Alt, Crtl, Opt) to be utilized to expand a page’s parameters from 8 to 32 options. And also requested to allow a custom default setting to be used, so when button pressing a knob it wouldn’t just reset to 0. This wasn’t fully possible, but what he did was combine the two request, and make it so that the modifier keys now give different behaviors to the button push reset. •Pressing the knob goes to 0 or the lowest range. •Holding ALT and pressing it goes to the full value. •And holding SHIFT pressing goes to the middle value. This is super powerful for button press parameters. Alt and a button press enables, and just a button press disables. Also, very powerful for WAVES STUDIO RACK macros. Especially now that Waves open it up to all VST3 plugins. Dope video. Jorgen’s the man. Reaper/X-Touch/DrivenByMoss/ is what I’m rocking with and it’s been game changing for me.

@@leirumanuel It’s really more of a limitation than an issue. So, I doubt there will ever be a resolution in DrivenBYMoss. That said, there are other ways that the end user can skirt this limitation. For instance, you can take advantage of the free StudioRack VST plug-in from Waves. This has 8 macro knobs that can be assigned to multiple parameters. If you have common mix practices you do all the time, create a preset for them in StudioRack. Then making macro level adjustments to the mix becomes effortless and super fast.

Hi John, thank you so much for sharing the info. Much appreciated it! A quick question, I have set up the hierarcie the same as you did in the example but when I double tab on Select, it doesn't open the track folder. The button select doesn't work at all either. Any idea why? I disabled all the midi in and output at the Reaper devices because when I enable it, the play button doesn't work and stops playing when I move my finger away from the play button. [edit] I found the issue, it didn't work cause I removed the Mackie Universal Control at Reaper but the problem is, when I create it there, the play button doesn't work like described above. Any idea how to fix this?[edit] Never mind, it seem to work after I recreated the profile. A bit weird though.

only downside of the x-touch universal is size, very big. bcf had noisy faders, no touch mode, no screens, no usb hub, and a lot less buttons. The BCF is not terrible, I was happy with it till I broke it, but x-touch is clearly better in every way. That said, its a nice convenience and not something critical to mixing. it makes a couple parts of a mix easier and is unused most other times.

BUG - X-Touch - NOW SOLVED AND WORKING When selecting anoter track in the MCP and returning back click to anoter the fader does not change the volume in the selected track but in anoter track. This is very confusing. Edit: I have made a fresh portable instalation of Reaper and it seems to work there. I will check in some days if the problem still persists. Edit 2: Again problems, even. I have had to change te configuration to: Select Channel on Fader Touch: On , Activate Volume mode on Fader Touch: On. Edit 3: Moss now solved the issues and the fix is in the release 20.2.1 It is a Pitty that this does not work in a real system with 4 or 5 midi controllers and a bounch of tracks. It is promissing but just that. A promese. The author does not seems sensible to this problem.

not really, it has a few standard control surface modes like Mackie Control, and a raw midi mode. The smaller X-Touch One actually does have a reaper mode though. IMO its way better to have a few standard functions and everything else up to the user to configure, make it work for your needs. In part 1 I show how to do that with Mackie mode and reaper's action list MIDI link.
