M-AUDIO X-SESSION PRO layouts
Posted on: 29.04.2008 by Thisun Manuranga
Hello All,

The X-Session Pro seems to be a great starting-off MIDI Controller, extremely light and configurable. I was wondering what other users of this device have done to set-it up for use with Traktor. I am still experimenting but seem to have settled on:

Top Knobs and Faders -
keeping the far-left-hand colum for effects (knobs only), the middle two columns as my normal A-B channels (decks 1 & 2), and the far-right-hand column as a bonus channel C (deck 3).

The Crossfader -
Using this as a normal cross fader (ie not using it :P

Play/Pause Button and the one next to it for loops. Not using the two keys above it.

I use the T2 L/H Filter and the FX Layout for the far-left-hand column i have is top knob = Amount, middle knob = Hi, Bottom knob = Low.

I am interested as to what other configurations have been made.

Okay, cool.

The only thing on this controller is the possibility to have an additional track selection, so that no additional controller would be needed. (Yes I believe the nudge needs to stay. )

"Loop" is for drop-a-loop-right-here (I forget the correct function name). Handy when you need a track to go on just a bit longer while you wait for the other track to kick off.

Looks interesting Fatlimey.

Loop, is that for loop/track selection, or marking and playing?

Here's me, although after Ean's tutorial I just tweaked the "FX On" to do "FX Amount" as well.

i use a similar setup
the play button is play/pause
next button is loop (normally 8 bars)
the above 2 cursor type arrows I use for adjusting the bend of the track similar to speeding up a record or slowing it down with your finger... this way when i get my vci-100 i can replicate similar function with the platters

outside faders are for pitch
inside are for volume a/b respectively
crossfader is crossfaer

i have set the pitch faders to 6% in traktor ro make them a little more accurate since a cdj has a much longer pitch fader.

then I use the inner knobs for hi / mid hi / low
outer knobws I use for pan / mid low / gain

I also have a trigger finger as well which I use for effects and scrolling + loading tracks into the decks.. if anyone wants my tks file let me know its nothign special.

I am in the process of redoing the trigger finger since I have a lot of duplicate functions rather then selecting a deck and using an effect on focus deck.. I want to introduce some loop manipulation stuff so I would need to free up a few pads on the trigger

lol the stickers are pretty cool...

where are you based Murat?

This is what mine looks like so far (custom sticker job not yet finished!!)
