The "-"

- Aspect of the controller rather ugly ... (Plastic toy) but his is not the case at all

How would you rate the quality / price?

For what it is, it's a very good price

With experience, you do again this choice?

His YES!

In a few words .. this is a little over a month since I practice DJing with Xponent. Previously j'tais what I call a more communment PD (ie Disc Changer) with skeuds 80s. The world of electronic n it but I never had the urge to buy vinyls of electro. The Xponent has led me on a new path and I am happy. Simple installation, ease MIDI setup (My table is connected in a MIDI controller with supplment-KORG). This table except for some small default birth MRIT sincrement attention. Its prsentation his gornomie, the Torq software's stability, its squenceur 16 tracks, his quality of his subject make my new work. I mix several times a week usually in places where the plates are required. And it is very thundering approval of many DJs who are suddenly surprised by this "toy" pro. For derrire this toy looks lies a potential that I have not finished exploring. I thank the team sincrement M-AUDIO which put on the market a machine rvolutionnaire j'espre and will continue to dvelopper. In any case I do not regret this purchase.

Well, Phew, APRS minutes of total flip, it is possible a driver for vista Tlcharger to fnner Xponent, but we also need the driver for Tlcharger log Torq.
In short, the machine install Xponent is a great product even when (some of the same precision could just avoid the catch of nerves). I must admit that my PC is what is more modest (512 RAM, Intel Celeron 1.8 ghz) but everything works great, I am delighted and feel are fabulous, over the handling is so fast and simple ...

How long have you use it? 5 days
- What is the particular feature you like best and least? The handling, performance. The least: the bibliotque in which he is not super easy to navigate if you do or do not like Itunes and slction a track a bit tedious and slow (the mouse) However these are really dtails.
- Have you tried many other models before acqurir? Turntable but I especially compared and analyzed recompar all available controllers of the market.
- How do you report qualitprix? Good, The question is whether the product is solid (one diode does not light up dja)
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? Of course. At that price, it's nothing sophisticated.

Great effect. equals but not have enough fishing

- How long have you use it?

Overnight to fully make use of the animal and understand all its subtleties in a professional setting.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Most: ease of use when you have already used to use digital consoles. The sound quality (on the Torq software, sold with) outstanding for my taste compared for example to a VDJ.

Import VST effects. The quality of equalization and the accuracies of the knobs

Minimum: Pitch a little weak for my taste and archiving BPMS sometimes tedious, it needs work by hand but then once we have understood the principle, it goes fast. As against a beginner could do something foolish, but that's how we progress.
Black spot of logigiel Torq for my taste is that it creates files full of information on file that stores audio files. It is better to be organized to navigate easily.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Yes, of Beringher BCD 2000 (is shit), Hercules (is less), MK 3 Pioneer is the top but eventually it becomes too heavy to carry and with a product like the Xponent is n ' are really needed), Numark CDX, VDJ (too much compression and sound bugs, Traktor ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Excellent
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes without hesitation for three reasons:
- Price
- Stability software: just a little bug of 8 hours but nothing nasty mix, decks have continued to turn and have resynchronized their own.
- The weight

- How long have you use it?
A little more than an ego, about ten at night.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The system load songs, I have not found another trick up the slide deck A or B via the mouse or touchpad Intgr.
No microphone.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Before I possdais a Hercules DJ Console Mk2, I tried the numark total control, the mix of AudioPhony Virtuality (which surprised me enjoyable), the vestax VCI 100 and the VCI 300.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Rather good.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes because it has so far not itch. For the music tends electro is the top. The VCI 100 and 300 are much less complete for me.

Update from 30/05/09
APRS several months of use I am always satisfied with the Xponent so much when I read BTIS brands like below it leaves me speechless!

must see before criticizing everything is read the instructions on Xponent paramtrable Simply search through all the preferences and oh miracle! the sensitivity of the jog is paramtrable oh! miracle we can dye the flashing etc. ...... The trackpad works well trs but it is true and I'd say c is an interface intended to pros and beginners not to be that of beginners in computer science or a pro DJ use a mac preferences and not one day admit that pc pc priori there is some absurdity so prfrez a mac. But of that The Xponent is a toy for rich kid ... So before you criticize without REALLY test may need to learn to use a very ordinary and take the trouble to read the instructions on the pdf tlchargeable m-site audio.Je do not understand Nor audio fanzine of leaving without saying such nonsense perform all necessary!

The Xponent is really the best interface of the market at the moment (at least for me

- How long have you use it?

1 month (club night)

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

c for me is a good surface trs CONTRL usb (see best) even if its appearance is trs plastic after a month of heavy use no problem, the "pots" priori are of good quality (we will see in the future), the functions are really good software (I use as a surface supplment CONTRL noon for the function sampler and some effects), it no latency, quality of sound is excellent I personally use it n tempo sync function, but the timing is perfect manual ... need I say more!

ah so low that I have read have not hear the sound in the headphones for the stall bits c is wrong simply to the CDJ mode.

even when it is an interface pro nothing to do with Hercules or The models behringer or more. However the software is much more orient "electronic music" that R & B but that it is a personal opinion

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

more and for my part the Xponent is the best by far

- How do you report qualitprix?

perfect!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

without hsiter!

I use it for a few prs 2 years

I was looking for a virtual table, but the Xponent seemed like the least one that has a toy compared to tables Hercules, and I do not regret at all

+: Fairly stable, I mix a lot of evenings with never having a single bug
Very very easy to use, there are many possibilities

-: The knobs are too light and too easy to move I found
Despite being a table very powerful, it gives all the same aspect toy

It's been two years since I use it but there is some option I did not even use, like putting samples or use VST so I can not comment on the above

A very good report quality price, I do not regret this purchase at all, I am more than satisfied, especially since I had a go on it for purchase because the last c'tait Store , MODEL c'tait the exposure! If you want to start in the mix and you want something stable on computer, I highly recommend it!

-For how long have you been using it?
it's been two months since I use it.

-Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I tried the Numark Total Control with CUE LE and Traktor I used 2 and 3 with my Evolution UC-16 (not comparable!)

"What is so special that you like best?
offering complete software / controller, jogs along the top of the surface, lots of controls for direct access, the software is comprehensive and configurable wish if you take the time to read the manual.

"What is so special that you like least?
the touch of a little plastic buttons and knobs. but it is really to put a negative point because it's still good since I bought mine used, it is in a nickel and that the former owner used it ( and not just in front of his PC in his living room ...).

-What is your opinion about the value for the price?
for the price I paid for mine, it's unbeatable. or the price it was when it debuted, it seemed to correct the view of the proposed offer by m-audio software + surface (and not LE version) for a fee of around € 650.

-Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
having reflected long and hard before I decide, yes, I would do this choice.

-Conclusion
I put a 9 / 10 because perfection does not exist!
but this surface is very pleasant to use, intuitive software so I'm having a little crazy! I mix of electro, breakbeat, drum n 'bass, the hardtek, a little hardcore, and my songs and it is also very nice!

I also used the Xponent on the PC of a friend who has no audio interface, we synchronized the Xponent with Ableton Live audio interface side (on pc) and my Profire 610 (of mine) in noon and it worked without problem. Of course, my buddy used the hand controller to control Live, and nickel also!

it fails to be a little korg NANOPAD to run the samples, it would take less space than my axiom 49 in the bag ...
