Description

The M-Audio X-Session Pro USB MIDI controller is the easiest way to bring traditional DJ mixer-style control to the world of computer DJing and live performance. With a single USB connection, you get dedicated tactile controls for volume, pitch, EQ, cueing, transport and a crossfader. As a class-compliant USB MIDI controller, you can use it to control applications like Ableton Live, Traktor DJ Studio or any software that supports MIDI Learn, enabling you to bring DJ-inspired crossfades and filter sweeps into your live performances as well as studio.

Plays Well with Others
The X-Session Pro brings DJ mixer-style tactile control to any software that supports MIDI Learn. The unit is a class-compliant MIDI device under Mac OS X and Windows XP, so you'll never need extra drivers to make it interface with your favorite DJ applications, soft synths or DAWs”from Ableton Live and Traktor DJ Studio to Pro Tools M-Powered and more. For example, you can easily assign the crossfader on the X-Session Pro to the crossfader within Ableton Live and add a new dynamic to your live performances or studio work. With a digital DJ application like Traktor, you can assign the various level, EQ and crossfader controls to the X-Session Pro. The possibilities are virtually endless.

Built to Rock
Today's powerful laptop computers have brought near limitless options to DJs and performing electronic musicians. But the combination of a mouse and keyboard is not the most natural or musical interface for live performance. The X-Session Pro fuses the standard controls of a two-channel DJ mixer with the transport and pitch controls of a turntable or DJ CD player, enabling you to control everything from a single interface. The mixer controls allow you to adjust level, cueing and EQ, plus make smooth crossfades”while the integrated transport and pitch controls allow you start, stop and beat-match digital files within software applications.

Free Enigma Editor/Librarian Software
This product includes the free download and full registration of Enigma--a powerful software editor/librarian for Mac and PC that lets you easily program, store and load setups for M-Audio and Evolution USB MIDI controllers. Enigma includes a huge library of files for your favorite VST plug-ins, instruments and host apps. Programming is as simple as dragging the software parameter you want to control onto the graphic representation of the controller on your screen. With Enigma, your library of controller presets is virtually unlimited.

The X-Session Pro USB MIDI DJ Mixer Controller also ships with Torq LE.

    This thing works the way I wanted to. I have a slight descrepancy of the software download for Torq LE. The seek forward/backward function seems kinda odd, since i can only move 1/16 step every press of the button. But the xsession is easily programmable for any software that uses MIDI control. I absolutely love this for doing simple digital dj stuff. 5 stars for the hardware, 2 stars for Torq LE.

    This mixer is surprisingly versatile. I bought it to extend control of my DAW without any real interest in it as a DJ mixer. Much to my surprise not only is it a solid tool I use for production, but it's the perfect mixing interface if you're using a live performance-capable DAW like Ableton Live to do DJ sets. The fully-assignable knobs and faders let you do uniquely digital effects with a familiar mixing interface. Expect only what the product offers and you'll be quite pleased.
