X-Session Pro is a class-compliant device. This means Windows XP and Mac OS X computers will automatically recognize and install X-Session Pro once the controller is connected to the computer—you are not required to install any drivers or perform any installation procedures.

Once the X-Session Pro drivers are installed, you may need to configure your DJ software to accept MIDI signals from the controller. This is usually done through your software’s control panel. Refer to your program’s user guide to learn how to do this.

Installation

5

Advanced Windows XP users

who require multi-client support (i.e., using the controller with more than one application at the same time) will need to install the special X-Session Pro multi-client drivers. Please refer to the X-Session Pro Quick Start Guide for

installation instructions.

Controls and Connectors

Top Panel

1.Crossfader – This slider can be assigned to control the crossfader in your DJ software. Use this control to transition between songs.

2.Transport Controls – These buttons can be used to start, pause, cue, rewind, and fast forward music on each deck of your music software.

3.Vertical Sliders (Pitch, Volume) – These vertical sliders can be mapped to the pitch and volume of each deck in your software.

4.Headphone Cue Buttons – If your audio hardware and DJ software support “cue” monitoring, assign these buttons to select which deck you’d like to hear in your headphones.

5.User Knobs (1, 2, 3, High, Mid, Low) – These knobs can be mapped to various effect and EQ settings within your software.

6.Power Indicator LED (Power) – This red LED illuminates when X-Session Pro is receiving power and is turned on using the Power switch (8).

While X-Session Pro may look like a traditional DJ mixer, keep in mind that all of the buttons, knobs, and faders are actually sending out MIDI data. This means that you can use X-Session Pro to control more than just DJ applications. For example, the buttons, sliders, and knobs can be used to control a virtual instrument or a DAW sequencer. Refer to

your software’s user guide to learn how to map X-Session Pro’s

controls to various functions within the application.
