Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Evolution X-Session.
X-Session is a complete DJ solution containing the X-Session USB control surface, Ableton Live XS digital audio workstation
and Arturia Storm XS virtual studio. The pack provides you with everything you need for digital DJing including hundreds
of loops and grooves. The X-Session controller surface lets you mix, tweak, launch, cut and cross fade audio material
during your session. It does all of this, straight out of the box.
You can use the X-Session USB controller with other MIDI software or hardware too. It sends MIDI Continuous Controller
