Best Logic Pro X Controller

guitarkeys 🎙️ · 3rd November 2023

I'm interested in a compact DAW controller that integrates really well with Logic Pro X. So far I think Behringer X Touch seems to be the best option. Would you recommend the Behringer or something else instead?

Yes.

I use an XTouch with Logic on my Mac M1 Studio and it works pretty flawlessly

The free Logic Remote app for iOS is really great. If you have an iPad it’s worth checking out before you buy a dedicated controller

You can't really go wrong with Korg's nanoKONTROL 2 or the nanoKONTROL Studio if they cover what you're after. Easy setup in my experience, everything obviously is assignable and they're very affordable too.

Behringer is great, SSL stuff is also pretty well made. I am biased towards Softube Faders + Console 1. Fader is great and you don’t really need any Softube plugins, but the Console really shines when you’re invested in the Softube ecosystem. I am only using the default SSL 4000 console that came with it, and it is pretty freaking cool. Not a full fledged DAW controller, but I like it. If I had to buy a similar product again, other than Softube, I’d probably get the Behringer XTouch with 9 faders.

My vote these days would be the SSL controllers, they are well made, very stable have some great customisation and work well with Logic Pro (IMO).

Saying that, the Behringer X Touch are also very good. Just not as stable, or well made.

I've used both (and Console 1), but would say the SSL UF8/1 and UC1are an investment and combined bring a lot of workflow functionality.

Nektar has really deep integration with Logic. Most of their controllers are keyboards, but they do have two without keys.

The Panorama P1 can control plug in instrument and audio effects as well as all the recording and mixing stuff.

The Panorama CS12 isn't shipping yet, it’s focused on the recording and mixing functions with I assume more depth than the P1.

If you have the coin, consider an AVID S1. Nothing beats EUCON integration (in my opinion, which you may freely disregard).

I Never used the xtouch but I couldn't find an ideal hardware controller. I had an old unused iPad so I made a touch controller with the free Touch OSC. Not the same as real knobs but the advantage is it is super customised to my needs.

I CONCURE I JUST PURCHASED THE X TOUCH ONE AND THE CONTROL IS SEAMLESS ,WORK AS SOON AS I PLUGGED IT IN. THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE WHICH ISNT REALLY DETERRING ME FROM KEEPING IT IS THE FACT IT DOESNT HAVE AN ON/OFF SWITCH TO POWER DOWN. YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG THE POWER SOURCE TO DO SO. OTHER THAN THAT ITS FINE

The Softube Console 1 is incomparable... can't live without it. Mind you this simply covers and input/filters/ eq/ dynamics/ output/ drive etc. I find myself rarely using anything else now especially as all UAD and Fab Filter stuff happily sit within it. It's just so cleverly laid out.
