example video of some guy screwing around with the x-session pro. if you're interested to see how stuff works youtube is often a great place to go and check it out. i looked at tons of videos of the padkontrol before i decided i could not live without one.

Oh that's pretty neat! I'll take what you said into consideration and decide if i really need something like the X session pro.

How come i didn't think of youtubing?!?!?!?!

Thank you all again, I might go and check out waht they have at my local guitar center today.

edit: the X session pro looks really awesome for live play! But if i were to map it to a cutoff filter on a lead(Fl studio), I'd have to record an automation clip so that it cuts off the hi pass/lo pass right?
