M-Audio Torq - A creative Revolution

As advancements in digital technology continue to propel the evolution of the modern DJ, only one computer-based program provides the innovative tools and production power to set you apart from the pack. In addition to essential cueing, beat matching, mixing and rock solid performance, Torq offers a host of real-time creative options unavailable anywhere else. M-Audio designed Torq to easily transition today’s diverse DJ into the world of producing, and also allow studio producers to perform live. Torq software integrates seamlessly with multiple hardware options, forming complete solutions that fulfil the needs of every DJ.

Torq DJ Software and Hardware—Made for Each Other
To put together a stable digital DJ rig, you need software and hardware that work together seamlessly. Some digital DJ companies focus solely on making software while leaving the hardware designs to someone else. Our DJ design team developed Torq hardware and software to work together from the ground up, ensuring our integrated systems provide solid and dependable performance right out of the box. M-Audio’s quality assurance team tests every Torq DJ product thoroughly to guarantee stable, reliable operation on a variety of systems.

Torq Conectiv—The Ultimate Vinyl- and CD-Control System
Torq Conectiv is a completely integrated digital DJ system featuring the Conectiv 4 x 4 USB audio interface and Torq 1.5 software. Conectiv was designed to join turntables and CD players with Torq software, giving you true vinyl and CD control over digital music files. Specially encoded Torq Control Vinyl and CDs provide response that’s virtually indistinguishable from standard records and CDs. So if you’re ready to go digital but love the feel of your turntables and mixer, Torq Conectiv has you covered. Conectiv can be used in a variety of ways, providing a flexible interface for digital DJ setups. When you connect your DJ hardware, the large mix knobs allow you to seamlessly mix the incoming audio from a turntable or CD player with the output of a connected Mac or PC. You can also route the analog output of connected gear into
Torq and process the audio with VST effects—using the control knobs to blend the dry and processed signals.

Torq Xponent—All-in-One Audio and Control
For the ultimate hands-on Torq experience, Torq Xponent is a hardware/software solution that includes everything a professional DJ needs to perform with a laptop. Torq Xponent combines Torq software with an assignable MIDI control surface and USB audio interface that features two pairs of RCA outputs and a standard headphone output for cueing. Every knob, slider and button on Xponent boasts the same rock-solid construction and rugged feel as traditional DJ gear. So if you’re ready for the next generation of DJ performance hardware, get on board with Torq Xponent.

Xponent delivers complete hands-on control of cueing, beat matching and scratching—eliminating the need to adjust parameters with a mouse or keyboard. Xponent features a full array of pre-mapped controls, including a built-in X/Y track pad that can either replace your mouse or manipulate effects processing. The 64 assignable backlit keys provide a stunning visual display, pulsating to the tempo and fluctuating in brightness according to parameter status. For DJ CD-player-style control, the unit also includes two touch-sensitive scratch wheels for scratching, speeding up and slowing down digital files. Level and progress LED meters round out all the features that performing DJs need.

X-Session Pro—Compact Mixer-Style Control
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. This complete system features Torq LE software—which provides many of the same killer features found in Torq—plus a control surface that fuses the standard controls of a two-channel DJ mixer with the transport and pitch controls of a turntable or DJ CD player. The mixer controls allow you to make smooth cross fades and adjust level, cueing and EQ parameters—while the integrated transport and pitch controls allow you to start, stop and beat match digital files.
