Using X-Session Pro Each knob, button, and fader on X-Session Pro is assigned with its own unique MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) number. Each time you turn a knob, push a button, or move a fader, X-Session Pro sends out MIDI CC data that is received and interpreted by your music software. To control your music software with X-Session Pro, make sure the program is configured to receive MIDI data generated by X-Session Pro. Configuration varies from software to software, but it is usually done through the program's control panel. Refer to your program's user guide to learn how to do this. Next, use your program's "MIDI Learn" function to assign each of X-Session Pro's knobs, buttons, and faders to the specific parameters you'd like to control. Most audio applications now have a MIDI Learn function, and you'll need to refer to the software's documentation to find out how to use this feature. Once you have assigned an on-screen parameter to one of the buttons, knobs, or sliders on X-Session Pro, you should be able to control the parameter using the hardware controller. If your program does not feature, a "MIDI Learn" function, you may still be able to manually assign your programs features to be controlled by X-Session Pro. To find out how to do this, refer to the X-Session Pro User Guide found on the M-Audio MIDI Controller CD-ROM. 6. Additional Information and Support Help on the Web: The M-Audio website (www. m-audio. com) contains the latest X-Session Pro drivers as well as useful links to news stories, FAQs, and technical support. We recommend checking this site regularly to ensure you have the latest drivers and most up-to-date information about your M-Audio products. Upgrading your hardware: Most built-in audio devices suffer from high audio latency, do not have multiple audio outputs, and cannot make use of a DJ application's cue monitoring system. If you have been using X-Session Pro with your computer's built-in audio outputs but would like additional features such as multiple outputs for cue monitoring and low-latency ASIO drivers, consider purchasing an M-Audio digital audio interface. M-Audio builds a full line of high-performance interfaces including Fast Track USB, Fast Track Pro, MobilePre USB, and FireWire Solo. All of these products give you expanded functionality and are 100% compatible with your DJ and professional audio software. © 2006 Avid Technology, Inc.
