Using X-Session Pro

7

Many DJ and audio applications (such as Ableton Live, Propellerhead Reason, Native Instruments Traktor, and others) now include a “MIDI Learn” function. This feature allows you to quickly assign the buttons, knobs, or sliders of the X-Session

Pro to control specific parameters within the software. X-Session Pro can control any software that has this functionality.

The “learn” function varies from application to application and you will need to refer to your software’s user guide to find out how to use this feature.

If your software does not have this functionality, it may still be possible to manually assign the program’s features to be controlled by the specific MIDI CC data generated by the knobs, buttons, and sliders of the X-Session Pro. Refer to your software’s user guide to see if this is possible.

If manually assigning features is possible in your software, see Appendix A for a complete listing of MIDI CC information generated by the knobs, buttons, and sliders of the X-Session Pro.
