Reviews
“Torq is a solid program that delivers all the goods expected from a DJ program, along with some truly impressive features that can't be found anywhere else…With a list price that's less than half that of competing products, Torq is a compelling alternative that promises to be a serious contender in the digital DJ market."-- Future Music
“A Serato killer?! Never say never...Seeing the combination of the Conectiv...and the powerful Torq software, dangerous. Watching it run on Windows XP on a Macbook Pro, serious. Finding out that you can also use your VST plug-ins seamlessly into your digital DJ software, priceless.” --Scratch Magazine
“The most fun I’ve had DJ’n since I learned to scratch.”-- DJ Revolution

Here's an MP3 of my first DJ recording using the cut down Torq LE version. Practiced a couple of times, then hit record. This is what came out. I'm hooked. - JK

The DJ Performance
and Production System
Torq Conectiv—including
the revolutionary Torq DJ 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 cue, beat-match and mix digital files with
ease. Use it as a completely digital solution or process your vinyl and
CDs on the fly through the built-in effects. You can also create a hybrid
digital/vinyl DJ rig with specially encoded Torq Control CDs and Torq
Control Vinyl disks. 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
interface works with other third-party software as well.
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 with the push of a button. 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 +10dBV, Conectiv
gives you enough volume to go toe-to-toe with any DJ hardware on the market.
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 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, 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.
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 as your
entrance into the world of industry-standard recording.
