Headphones Amplifier, Mixer or Speakers Quick Start Guide | 3 5. 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. 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.

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.
