does the midi indicator light flash when you hit a button or move the crossfader??
it's in the top R/H corner of the screen..

I just plugged my X-session in via the USB cable and it worked straight away
i didn't need to set anything up m8

You have to turn "remote" in the INPUT section for the EV-XS USB MIDI - this will allow you to control remotely Live. That's it!
