With regards to their design, I found the Behringer X Touch to be a rather thick and clunky control surface. It is not as slim as many of the control surfaces I have tested.

I'd even say that when placed on a desktop, you might have to raise your chair height an inch or two if you are sitting while operating it. The height and thickness make it a tad uncomfortable reaching for the faders and make it hard to see the display properly while sitting. Despite the less than ideal thickness, this control device performs rather superbly, especially for serious producers.

Aside from the physical dimensions, the device has connectivity options galore. While testing, I connected the device to Logic. It offers a really stunning functionality level with all the faders, knobs and buttons. The device supports the MCU protocol quite extensively. The transport buttons here feel really firm and sturdy and are very functional.

For example, they have lights to show their current status. The jog wheel also enjoys this design feature. That said, it is not as firm as the transport buttons and feels rather cheap and tacky. The large, chunky size, however, makes up for this lapse. One of my favorite features — something few control surfaces in this budget offer — is the small LCD scribble strips at the top of each channel fader.

This instantly tells you which track or parameter you're controlling. The standout feature for me, however, has to be the motorized faders. It's one of the rare control surfaces on the market with a whole array — nine — of motorized faders. As mentioned earlier, the interaction with Logic is one of the best features of this device.

It has full support with Logic as well as other DAWs. Despite the integration with Mac OS, the lack of a Mac editor is jarring. The build quality is a little disappointing considering the price. The motors on the faders is tacky and feels liable to break. The lack of customization options in the editor is also a letdown. Recommended for: Gigging musicians that have a home studio will find the functionality of this device quite ideal. It's also great if you want to move from a small home setup to something that's more professional.

For our money, this is the best control surface for Logic Pro X as far as performance is concerned. Even the design language follows that purpose. You won't find unnecessary screens and tabs and buttons. Everything is limited. Some might see this as a problem, but I see this as a perfect example of a tight, single-purpose device. You won't have to spend hours studying the manual; everything is intuitive and easy to figure out on your own.

Throw in the fact that it also has wireless connectivity though latency takes a hit and a small footprint, I rank it as the best control surface for Logic Pro X if portability is a top priority. At the bottom of the front panel, there are the long-throw faders. The top of the panel features the Mute, Solo, Record, and select buttons. This is a departure from the Kontrol 2 which had the aforementioned buttons cradled between the faders.

Aside from these buttons and the faders, the front panel has a single jog wheel and a scene button. I like the increased functionality this offers. It allows me to change through 5 controller assignment pages with ease whenever I use it in the MIDI mode.

The keyboard layout on this device is also intriguing. There are an additional 8 knobs and trigger pads as well as an axis touch controller. Given the focus on simplicity, all the buttons are clearly labeled Mute, Solo, Record, Select. This really improves the user experience, at least for beginners.

Additionally, the rear panel features a switch that toggles between the USB or Bluetooth mode. While testing, I found the connections easy to make and quite seamless.

However, I encountered some connectivity problems when using the Bluetooth function on a low battery. Latency is also questionable over Bluetooth mode, but if you're producing on Garageband, it's more than acceptable. The NanoKontrol Studio is compatible with a number of apps. When I connected the control surface to my MacBook, I discovered that there are plenty of modes available.

The device functions just as a normal MIDI keyboard does when connected to the computer. Mapping had to be done manually as there is no Live remote script or Logic plug-in.

However, the keys afford a lot of functionality. They offer the user a built-in Arpeggiator among other functions.

The touchpad has 3 different functions that are accessed by using the buttons just south of it. You can use it as pitch bend and mod wheels, you can use it as a controller, and it can be used to play notes. It has functional issues on iOS devices — though I don't consider this a major issue since you'll be using it with Logic Pro i. A major concern is build quality. The entire unit is housed in a lightweight plastic body. A couple of bad drops and this plastic can crack easily. Given its portable credentials, I would have preferred a tougher body.

Recommended for: If you want the best control surface for Logic Pro X with a wireless connection at a relatively cheap price, this is for you. It's extremely easy to use and has none of the frills and features that might confuse a beginner. This unit from Zoom is designed specifically to work with Zoom's F4 and F8 mixers. However, since it's USB, it works equally well with other USB-capable mixers or when you plug it directly into the computer.

The entire unit is housed in a metal casing that makes it look really good. The tough body also ensures that it can stand the rigors of live gigs. The buttons and faders on this control surface look strong, firm, and of high quality. The interface and button overlay of the device makes it one of the easiest to use. If you already use a Zoom mixer, that's a massive win. The faders are tight and have the right amount of give.

The LED display is bright and looks good even in sunlight. The quality of the rubber gel buttons is at par with Akai that is, not great, not bad. I would have preferred at least one motorized fader, however. On the whole, if you're recording live or outdoors, this is one of the best control surfaces for Logic Pro X you can find on the market.

It has its limitations, especially given its limited compatibility, but the solid build quality and feature-rich performance make it a top choice. Recommended for: If you are looking for a portable and highly durable control surface to take on the go with you to locations, this will suit your needs.

If you already own a Zoom mixer, then you'll find that this is easily one of the best control surfaces for Logic Pro X on the market right now. While most of the options on this list would be a good fit in any home studio, I feel that the X-Touch One offers the best mix of features, affordability and portability home studios need.

To start with, i t is similar to the X-Touch Mini in size, albeit a tad larger. One way to describe the design and appearance of the X-Touch One is comparing it to cutting off one end of the X-touch. It comes with the standard controls on the X-Touch; however, it has a single motorized fader, navigation functions, and transport functions. The single motorized fader is good enough for home studios albeit limited in live settings.

It's also touch sensitive which gives you much better control over your fades and automations. Complementing it is a gigantic jog wheel that helps you move through tracks and settings on the fly. It's not as smooth as the FaderPort but built well and does what it's meant to do comfortably. The overall layout is very tidy. All the buttons are neatly arranged and labeled. LED scribble strips tell you exactly what track and position you're currently in. I would have liked a few encoders to balance out all the buttons, but you get a lot of mileage from this little unit.

I enjoyed using this device due to its portability, compact nature, and the great support for major DAWs, including Logic Pro. The performance is satisfactory, and while it is not as robust feature-wise like its big brother the X-Touch, it is great in its own little way. While the build quality is markedly improved, it still suffers from that trademark Behringer fragility.

It won't fall apart easily, but you better make sure not to drop it from a height. Strictly for home studios — dragging it to live gigs is living on the edge.

The transport buttons are also a tad smaller for my tastes. They tend to merge in with the rest of the buttons on the unit — I would have preferred if they stood out more since you'll be using them extensively.

A small niggle is the lack of a power button. Apple is not responsible for printing or clerical errors.
