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. This completely integrated

the controls of a pair of DJ CD players, letting you cue, mix and
scratch digital files without touching the host computer.
Rock-Solid Professional DJ Hardware
Torq
Xponent is a complete hardware/software system that delivers everything
a professional DJ needs to perform with a computer. 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. Every control on Xponent boasts the same rock-solid
construction and rugged feel as traditional DJ hardware. So if you're
ready to make the leap to the world of software-based DJing, you'll
feel right at home with Xponent.
Full Digital File Library Compatibility
Torq
DJ software allows you to cue, beat-match and mix all the important
digital audio file formats, including MP3, AIFF, WAV, WMA, Apple
Lossless and AAC. And for a truly effortless set-up, Torq locates and
catalogs your song files (including your iTunes library) into a quickly
searchable database that resides on the computer's hard drive" letting
you pull up the perfect track or change up your set in an instant.
Dynamic Performance
DJing
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. We designed the 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's mixer
section lets you deliver a dynamic performance with the same feel and
response as a standard hardware mixer. For DJ CD player-style control,
the unit includes two touch-sensitive scratch wheels for scratching,
speeding up and slowing down the playback of digital files. And for
in-depth control over Torq, Xponent adds 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. Level and
progress LED meters round out all the pro features you would expect.
Made to Work Together
Torq
DJ software for Mac and PC automatically configures itself to work with
Xponent" with every hardware control pre-mapped to its corresponding
function in Torq. It's easy to get up and running with Xponent because
all of the hardware controls are located exactly where you'd expect
them to be. The transition into digital DJing couldn't be simpler.
Go Beyond Hardware
Torq
Xponent provides much more than a transparent combination of hardware
and software" it allows you to take DJing and live performance in wild
new directions. With VST effect compatibility and easily assignable
hardware controls, you can turn your plug-ins into expressive live
performance tools. Call up a flanger effect and layer on LFOs" or mix in
feedback loops from a delay effect and control it all from the
assignable knobs on Xponent. The system also provides everything you
need to loop, reorder and remix tracks on the fly. With built-in
controls for looping as well as a 16-cell, tempo-synced performance
sampler, Torq makes it possible to grab loops and one-shot samples and
drop them wherever you like, all while staying perfectly in sync with
the mix.
Plays Well with Others
In addition to VST
compatibility, Torq can interface with any ReWire-compatible host
application. You can easily route the output of Torq to a program like
Pro Tools M-Powered or Ableton Live 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. Xponent also makes it simple to
control any software application that supports MIDI learn functionality.
