software and Conectiv bus-powered 4 x 4 USB audio interface—is the
breakthrough hardware/software system designed for DJs who perform and
produce tracks with a laptop. Torq Conectiv delivers high-fidelity
audio, all the right kinds of I/O (including dual phono preamps), and
the ability to mix, beat-match and cue digital files with ease. Use it
as a completely digital solution or process your vinyl and CDs on the
fly. You can also create a hybrid digital/vinyl DJ rig with specially
encoded Torq Control CDs and Torq Control Vinyl disks (both included).
Torq supports popular file formats such as MP3, WAV, WMA and AAC files
and is configured to automatically work with Conectiv right out of the
box. And unlike most digital DJ systems, the Conectiv inte

Start Spinning Tonight
Torq Conectiv instantly turns any
compatible Mac or PC into a powerful DJ rig—no configuration issues or
prep work. That’s because M-Audio’s SynchroScience design group created
the included Torq software and Conectiv interface to work seamlessly
together right from the start. Just plug in your Conectiv interface,
fire up Torq, and get down to business.
The Best of All Worlds
Torq gives you everything you need to DJ
in a single, easy-to-use workspace. Torq includes an integrated
two-channel mixer with three-band EQs, level controls, headphone cueing
and a crossfader, just like a traditional DJ setup. Then the power of
digital DJing kicks in. The program has two virtual decks where you can
load, cue and mix digital files—including MP3, AIFF, WAV, WMA and
AAC—and it will even automatically beat-match the files the instant you
load them. Torq also organizes all of your digital files into an easily
searchable database, letting you pull up the perfect track or change up
your set in an instant. You can even access your entire iTunes library
through Torq, so you can truly have all of your music at your
fingertips.
Conectiv
The Conectiv USB interface delivers
world-class M-Audio technology, outfitting your digital DJ rig with two
pairs of RCA stereo inputs and outputs, microphone input and phono
preamps. Two large knobs allow you to seamlessly mix between the
incoming audio from a turntable or CD player and the output of a
connected Mac or PC. Conectiv also includes standard DJ cueing
capabilities, so you can listen to any track in your headphones before
sending it out to the house system. And with a maximum output level of
+2dBV, Conectiv gives you enough volume to go toe-to-toe with any DJ
hardware on the market.
Universal Compatibility
While Torq and Conectiv are designed to
work seamlessly together, Conectiv is also compatible with any Mac or PC
software using CoreAudio and ASIO drivers—delivering low-latency
performance as a recording interface for DAWs like Ableton Live, Logic,
Cubase, Digital Performer and more. Of course, it’s also compatible with
Pro Tools M-Powered 7.3 or later as your entrance into the world of
industry-standard recording.
The Ultimate DJ Effects Unit
Torq supports the vast world of
third-party VST effects plug-ins and allows you to create recallable
snapshots of your favorite EQ, effect and mixer settings. You even get
10 exciting built-in effects right out of the box. Beyond using these
effects on your digital files, you can use Torq Conectiv to turn a
laptop into the most versatile DJ effects unit ever conceived for your
vinyl and CDs. Imagine the possibilities of stacking multiple
distortion, EQ, reverb, chorus or bit reduction effects and using the
knobs on Conectiv to blend the dry and processed signals.
Live Remix Machine
With Torq, you’re never limited to just
basic beat-matching and crossfading between tracks. With a 16-cell,
tempo-synced sampler, easy looping capabilities and multiple cue points,
you can chop up a song—on the fly—and reorder, remix and extend any
section you want, all while staying perfectly in time. The QuickScratch
feature even lets you instantly scratch with any two loaded samples.
With the option of adding multiple effects, you can turn a song into a
completely original piece of music and even record it on the spot with
the integrated performance recorder. And for the DAW-savvy DJ, you can
route the output of Torq to any ReWire-compatible host application like
Pro Tools M-Powered 7.3 or later and share synchronization information
between the programs.
Take Control
Torq lets you work the way you want to
work. Rather than limiting you to DJing with just a mouse, Torq can also
be controlled via keyboard or MIDI controller—like the X-Session Pro or
Oxygen 8 v2. And with a compatible audio interface like the M-Audio
Conectiv and M-Audio’s specially encoded Torq Control CDs or Torq
Control Vinyl disks (both included), you can control digital files
loaded in Torq with the feel of a traditional DJ setup. Torq includes
multiple operating modes that can make playback behave like a
traditional turntable or a DJ CD player—and there is even a hybrid mode
that blends the strengths of both vinyl and CD-style control.
