Make your X-TOUCH MINI's knobs work in GarageBand

GarageBand plays the keys, but ignores most of the 8 knobs, 1 fader and 18 buttons on the Behringer X-TOUCH MINI. KnobLink connects them: it recognises the X-TOUCH MINI the moment you plug it in.

What each control does in GarageBand

Setup in three steps

  1. Plug in the X-TOUCH MINI and open KnobLink. It shows your keyboard, controls and all.
  2. Allow instrument knobs in System Settings › Accessibility, once.
  3. Restart GarageBand, only the first time. Then play.

Questions

Does the X-TOUCH MINI work with GarageBand?

GarageBand plays the X-TOUCH MINI's keys and pads, but ignores most of its knobs and faders. KnobLink connects those too: knobs move the instrument's Smart Controls, faders set track volume, transport buttons work.

Do I need to set up the X-TOUCH MINI by hand?

No. KnobLink recognises the Behringer X-TOUCH MINI by name when you plug it in and knows its factory settings. If you changed its settings, KnobLink asks you to move the changed controls once.

Does it work with Logic Pro?

KnobLink is made for GarageBand. Logic Pro has its own controller assignments.
