1. About X-Session Pro

Thank you for purchasing M-Audio’s X-Session Pro. This control surface has been designed

to look and feel like a regular DJ mixer while giving you complete hands-on control of your

DJ and music production software. While X-Session Pro may look like a typical DJ mixer, its

knobs, faders, and buttons transmit MIDI data allowing you to use the controller with much

more than just DJ applications—you can use this device to control everything from virtual

instruments to your entire DAW setup.

This Quick Start Guide will walk you through the installation process for X-Session Pro and

help you learn the basics of using the controller. For more detailed information, please refer

to the User Guide found on the M-Audio MIDI Controller CD-ROM.

2. X-Session Pro Installation

X-Session Pro is class-compliant and requires no drivers when used under Windows XP

or Mac OS X. This means you can simply connect X-Session Pro to your computer using

the supplied USB cable and begin using the controller—no drivers or additional installation

is required.

3. Advanced Installation for Windows XP Users

NOTE: You are NOT required to install these drivers if you plan to

use X-Session Pro with one program at a time.

Advanced Windows XP users who plan to use X-Session Pro with more than one audio

application at the same time must install special multi-client drivers. This can be done by

following the instructions below:

1. If you have already connected X-Session Pro to your computer, disconnect it

before beginning the installation.

2. We recommend that you download the most recent X-Session Pro drivers by

going to the Support > Drivers page at www.m-audio.com. This ensures that

you have the newest drivers available. If you do not have Internet access, insert

the M-Audio MIDI Controller CD-ROM into your computer to install the drivers

that came with X-Session Pro.

a. If you are installing drivers from the M-Audio MIDI Controller CD-ROM, the

computer will automatically display the interactive install screen 1 when the

CD-ROM is inserted. If your computer fails to launch this application, you

can manually start it by clicking on Start > My Computer > M-Audio MIDI

Controller CD-ROM. Next, select your product from the menu and click

“Install.”

b. If you are installing drivers from www.m-audio.com, simply double-click the

ﬁle once it has ﬁnished downloading.

Quick Start Guide

3. Follow the driver installer’s on-screen instructions.

4. At various points in this installation process, you may be notiﬁed that the driver

being installed has not passed Windows Logo Testing. Click “Continue Anyway”

to proceed with the installation.

5. Once the installer has completed, click “Finish.”

6. Attach X-Session Pro to an available USB port.

7. Windows will identify the controller and will ask if you want to search the Internet

for a driver. Select “No, not this time” and press “Next” 2.

8. Windows will display a “Found New Hardware” Wizard 3.

9. Choose “Install software automatically” and click “Next.”

10. Once the Wizard has completed, click “Finish.”

11. Once the installation is complete, you will see a message pop up stating, “Your

new hardware is installed and ready to use.”

4. Connection Diagram

• Attach X-Session Pro to an available USB port on your computer.

• Attach your ampliﬁer, mixer, or powered speakers to your computer’s audio

outputs.

• If your computer (or audio interface) contains a separate headphone output,

connect your headphones to this output.

Your setup may vary from the illustration if you own a professional audio

interface such as an M-Audio Fast Track USB or FireWire 410. If you own

such an interface, be sure to connect your ampliﬁer, mixer, or powered

speakers to the interface instead of your computer. Professional audio

interfaces will provide improved sound quality, lower latency, and better

features than your computer’s built-in audio ports.

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. 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.
