Evolution X-Session Advanced User Guide

Each of the X-Session’s 28 controllers can send MIDI CC, RPN/NRPN, GM 1&2 SysEx
and even be assigned to individual MIDI channels.
MIDI CC (continuous controller) numbers are part of the standard MIDI specifications and
are typically used to control the real-time changing of parameters in musical equipment.
For a complete list of standard MIDI controller numbers from 0 to 131, please see
Appendix E on page 29.
Any of the 28 real-time controllers on the X-Session can be assigned to a MIDI CC
number however the 10 assignable buttons have slightly different options from the cross
fader or 16 rotary controllers.
The following 2 charts show all the transmit messages you can program for each
of the 18 fader/controllers and 10 assignable MIDI buttons respectively. We show you this
already at this stage, so you can follow the principle of programming the X-Session
controllers in the following instructions and examples.
Please pay extra attention to the differences between how you program the cross fader or
controllers and how you program the buttons.
