All user reviews for the M-Audio Torq Xponent

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 ...

For how long have you been using it?
I use it for 8 months.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Yes I owned a Hercules DJ Console RMX and I had the opportunity to test cdj 800 mk2.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Pros: the effects are ok and nice, of course you can add a VST, pitch bend that goes up to + / - 50%, 5 hot cue are present, the jog dial rather broad and very sensitive to touch. The loops that are pre-definable, 1 time, 2 stroke, 4 stroke, 8 time (it will still tweak the preferences to have the option of time).

Cons: quality and reliability of the product, my two volume faders were dropping as they never subient misery, when the master drives a bit too far the controller temporarily stops the blow more music and I can assure you that night is not the top. Some times the pre beug headphones, or there is nothing that is sizzling (it must be coming from me). Big big black dot, the equalizer, even when you decline or "kill" the bass have the feeling again, the highs are too powerful and the media I do not talk about. This comes from the software supplied with the Xponent, I suggest you choose another program for Xponent.

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
The price / quality ratio is very correct it must be confessed, he'll just buy (this is not mandatory but just a hint) one or another software like traktor VDJ etc. ... I think there really something out of this controller has a potential, except that the guys from M-Audio not do much for. Later, this remains my personal opinion!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
No, I do not refer this election, I intend to go on cdj 850 in February when I met all the money.
