I've just bought the behringer UMC22 as it was advertised to be good value for money, there is however an issue that has been highlighted on an Amazon review. Inst 2 doesn't work after setting up. 

I'm using the interface with guitar rig 5 usps tracking and it works a charm if i plug the guitar into Line 1, but when I plug into inst 2 i get a signal i.e the green signal light flashes but no audio at all. this hjas been raised on Amazon after I checked some of the reviews, and aledgedly behringer are aware of this issue.

Any ideas for a fix as I'm on the verge of sending this back for a refund if I can't get it working as it should.

Same issue here too. Help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

ok. i wasnt using the editor right. i now have layer A all working as i want. but when i duplicated it to layer B now i just have 2 identical sets of inputs - layer a or b is irrelevant. if i try to remap is saying for example layer A knob 1 is the same as layer B knob 1.

i thought that with layer a pressed or b it would send a diff signal?!

Hi Liam ( @Liamtip ), 

Welcome to the community.  Since you duplicated Layer A to B, why would you think they would be anything other than identical?  The layer data is the MIDI message assignments as well as the button/encoder behavior.  What you need to do is load the default Layer B settings, modify the button behaviors like you did for Layer A, then load those settings into Layer B. 

Hope this helps, 

Ken

thanks Ken, yes i think i misunderstood the app and messed it up initially. 
i also have an issue where its now not always remembering the settings flicking between layer A and B on the encoders. 

Hi @Liamtip ,

Can you upload your .bin files so I can have a look at them?  You'll likely have to .zip them up since I'm not sure the file upload option allows the .bin file extension.  Use "Choose File" in the lower-left to upload the files. 

Ken

thanks ken. 

i want some buttons to be toggled (fx on off) and some to be just single hits (for pads) 
now i seem to hit a toggled button and it turns the light  on/off but the doesnt FX btn doesnt work until i hit it a 2nd time putting it all out of sync until i press again. which is odd. i also use the encoders being pressed down for same midi signal and they work fine in 1 shot. maybe its the toggle? seems there is a lack of sync somewhere. 

also when i load up traktor doesnt know the encoder settings etc like it does if i use my keyboard's midi controls. toggling lights seems to be the issue maybe? 

Same setup as mine basically but using a Mac.

1. Connect Mac/PC via USB to XR18


2. Check its recognised by your computer as an audio device with 18 ins and outs


3. You will also see it in your DAW


4. Turn on router.


5. Connect your computer via ethernet/WIFI to router network


6. Make a note of IP address and gateway of router on your computer


7. Connect Ethernet cable to router and XR18


8. Toggle switch on front of XR18 to Wifi/Ethernet whichever one you want so wireless or wired connection.


9. Open X Air app on computer


10. click setup and choose either WAN/LAN setup depending on wireless or wired.


11. Connect ethernet cable to XTouch


12. Connect USB cable to X Touch (NOTE you must have the latest Firmware version to get dual mode feature)


13. Turn on Xtouch holding down select button on Channel 1


14. Choose XCT1/MC


15. Set to Network


16. Enter IP address that matches the one in settings in X Air app


17. Turn 3rd Knob to turn DHCP ON


18. Click Scan

DONE. So in Theory what should happen when it works is When you toggle the SMPTE/BEATS buttn on your X Touch it goes back and forth between controlling your Mixer/X Air app and then your DAW.

Hope that helps.

Best DAW for your  x touch setup

mac: Logic

PC: Cubase 

Hi Mikel ( @soundcheck ), 

Welcome to the community.  When you extracted the X-Touch Editor zip archive a folder called "default layer" should have been created.  In that folder is "compact" and "mini". In the "mini" folder there are two files called LayerA.bin and LayerB.bin.  Load these presets into the X-Touch Mini using the X-Touch Editor. This will restore the factory defaults.

Hi @SamsMusicFactor 

The extender is not programmable. You'll have to make your assignments in Logic. I would try Ctrl mode first.

Thank you! @DaveMorrison! It worked on kontakt with libraries but not yet with Logic on CC midi controllers. When using MC mode it works with logic.

@SamsMusicFactor 

The Extender is a weird beast. The only thing it seems to do well is MC (at least in logic). The reason I think Ctrl mode might work is that the Faders transmit CC in this mode as opposed to PitchBend when in MC mode. I think you would have to assign every Knob, Button and Fader in Logic to do what you want. @KenMitchell's advice is very sound as the compact is more versatile.

@SamsMusicFactor 

Nothing on the Extender can be changed (apart from the operating mode).

Have you tried something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm77G15H6zo

@DaveMorrisonYes! I tried this and it works on instruments or any knotakt library, you can easily assign faders or encoders to already programmed libraries or intruments inside Logic. But I can't find a way to program midi controllers CC#. Maybe there is a way OR AS YOU GUYS SAID IT'S NOT RE-PROGRAMMABLE !!

Hi @Jaxsn ,

When not connected to a computer the faders on my X-Touch act the same way.   By lights, I assume you mean the button LEDs. This is also normal when not connected to a computer and when not properly configured in a DAW.  There's nothing to tell the button LEDs to light up. 

I don't use DP but I'll see if I can download a trial version to help you out.  Are you on Windowss or Mac?

@ConnorHolden 

What are you controlling with the XTouch? I believe the footswitch and expression inputs only work in MC and HUI modes - controlling a DAW. The footswitches would normally be momentary (non-latching).

Hi @Jaxsn ,

Welcome to the community.  What research have you done? Have you visited any site to find out what others have been able to do with DP9 and the X-Touch? 

You might want to Google "x-touch digital performer 9" or mackie mcu pro digital performer 9". 

The X-Touch is a Mackie MCU Pro clone with improvements. 

Hope this helps, 

Ken

@Jaxsn 

As Ken mentioned, The X-Touch is a clone of the Mackie Control. Since these units are dumb (not programmable), all functionality is supplied by the DAW (DP). The best place to ask these questions is at motu nation.

Are you using a mac or PC? 

Pretty, pretty please?
