Description:
The X-Session Pro USB MIDI controller is the easiest way to bring traditional DJ mixer-style control to the world of computer DJing and live performance. With a single USB connection, you get dedicated tactile controls for volume, pitch, EQ, cueing, transport and a crossfader. As a class-compliant USB MIDI controller, you can use it to control applications like Ableton Live, Traktor DJ Studio or any software that supports MIDI Learn, enabling you to bring DJ-inspired crossfades and filter sweeps into your live performances as well as studio productions.

Feature:
Comes with everything you need. Not a knob, slider, or button is wasted. Crossfader is wonderful.

Quality:
It's plastic and very lightweight. Haven't had any problems with it.

Value:
Not much out there to compare, so the price is good. Torq was free with mine so I would have to say yes.

Desirability:
Looks fine.

Sound:
Doesn't make sound.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to assign, no programming to worry about. It's programmed for Torq and can be easily adjusted according to your preference. Programming to DAW's is easy. Works wonderfully in Ableton.

Support:
Haven't needed to.

Overall:
I'll use this until it breaks, I'll replace it if it does. I've gotten used to using it in Ableton and Torq. Good for the road and the bedroom studio. Mapped it with no problem to VST's as well.
