Overview of M-Audio X-Session Pro USB Midi DJ Mixer Controller:

Start bringing DJ-inspired crossfades and filter sweeps into your live performances and studio productions right away. 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 controller fuses the standard controls of a 2-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, EQ and effects, plus make smooth crossfades, while the integrated transport and pitch controls allow you start, stop and beat-match digital files within software applications. The available Torq LE software (free download) organizes everything you need to DJ into a single, easy-to-use workspace.
