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.

that came with X-Session Pro.
