For $600 this looks like an awesome thing to own. I've always had my eye on the Mackie MCU system but this looks pretty amazing for the money. I can't wait to see the reviews on it to see if its worth the price.
Here is a run down of the X-touch
NAMM 2014: With its motorised faders, Behringer's BCF2000 proved to be a very popular affordable MIDI mixing controller. Now the same company has announced the X-Touch range, with two of the products contained within it appearing to be spiritual successors to the BCF.
You can find out more about the X-Touch Compact and X-Touch Mini by clicking through our gallery, but we'll start with the flagship X-Touch model.

One thing I think is really cool is that you can daisy chain more units up if you need more faders.
