M-Audio Torq Xponent

DJ`ing is all about the connection between you, your music and your audience. From cueing to beat-matching to scratching, the best DJ tools allow you to literally get your hands on your music.

M-Audio designed the Torq Xponent with a full array of tactile controls so you can get into the music and engage the crowd at every moment of your set.

Xponent features 64 assignable backlit buttons (including Play, Cue, Seek, Loop, Key and Sync controls), two volume sliders, eight assignable knobs for effect control and two 100mm pitch sliders. The built-in touchpad/assignable X/Y controller allows you to control your mouse or the effects in Torq, so you never have to take your hands off the unit in the middle of a performance.

Every control on Xponent boasts the same rock-solid construction and rugged feel as traditional DJ hardware. With full-size tactile controls, an integrated USB audio interface and intuitive MIDI-learn capabilities, Torq Xponent bridges the gap between traditional DJ hardware and today’s powerful performance software once and for all.

Xponent is both an advanced MIDI control surface for Torq and a four-output USB audio interface—including two stereo RCA outputs and a standard ¼” headphone output for cueing.

Torq 1.5 gives you 10 essential effects right out of the box for dynamic manipulation of your tracks. Imagine the possibilities of stacking multiple distortion, filter, repeat, chorus or bit-reduction effects while mixing between songs. You can turn any track into your own original creation—and even record it on the spot with the integrated performance recorder.

In addition to VST compatibility, Torq 1.5 software can interface with any ReWire-compatible host application. You can easily route the output of Torq to a program like Pro Tools M-Powered and explore even more performance, production and sound design possibilities. When ReWired to a host application, the tempo of Torq automatically locks to the current session tempo, so you never have to worry about syncing playback between Torq and your preferred DAW. In addition, the Xponent control surface can be MIDI-mapped to other digital audio workstation software including Ableton Live.

Engineered by M-Audio’s SynchroScience Design Group, the package includes: the Torq DJ software that’s revolutionizing digital DJ`ing and the Xponent hardware control surface that puts all that power right at your fingertips.

M-Audio’s Torq Xponent, now available from MediaAtlantic.

The M-Audio Axiom Pro keyboard controller is available from Media Atlantic in the Axiom Pro 25, Axiom Pro 49 and Axiom Pro 61. All of these deliver premium TruTouch action, advanced HyperControl technology, MIDI mapping technology and other mind-blowing enhancements.

Thanks to revolutionary M-Audio HyperControl technology, the Axiom Pro controller will automatically map the keyboard’s controls to commonly accessed parameters in digital audio workstations including Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic and Reason, as well as software instruments.

The intuitive graphic LCD constantly updates the current values, which ensures seamless editing and prevents parameter jumps—even when plug-ins are closed.

A dedicated button toggles between Mixer and Instrument modes for instant hands-on control of all of your software’s functionality. Dedicated Track buttons allow sequential navigation of your mixer and instantaneous mapping of software instruments within the selected track. Now you can even control software instruments without opening them.

The Axiom Pro keyboard controller line is the first to combine MIDI control with ASCII keystrokes. You can assign any button on Axiom Pro to send ASCII messages accessing any of the available QWERTY keyboard shortcuts within your host DAW. Just imagine the possibilities!

Other cool features include: 50 onboard memory locations, velocity-sensitive trigger pads with Aftertouch and ASCII keystroke support, MIDI Out and MIDI In ports, TruTouch semi-weighted professional-action keybed.
